Call it a clan, call it a network, call it a tribe, call it a family.
Whatever you call it, whoever you are, you need one....Jane Howard
"Your most important friendships should be with your own brothers and sisters and with your father and mother. Love your family. Be loyal to them. Have a genuine concern for your brothers and sisters. Help carry their load so you can say, like the lyrics of that song, 'He ain't heavy; he's my brother.' " Ezra Taft Benson

Can it get any better?


Tuesday my sister stopped by on her way home from San Diego. The kids had a fun time jumping on the trampoline with cousins. It is always nice to see family....just wish it could be more often!!
Aren't these kids so dang cute!




Audrey and Deni.....love the hair!!

On Friday, my other sister came into town because her son had received his mission call and he also had a lacrosse game.....
So we headed over to watch him open it......LONDON, ENGLAND!! My dad also served his mission in England. We are so excited for him!!

Saturday morning brought on our Easter festivities!!



Eggs were hid around the front room for the kids to find.....only the younger 4 were game for it....Hannah was so cute...and yes, she has her swimsuit on, she lives in one!


OUR EASTER EGG HUNT!!!
Every year my neighbor and I put on a big egg hunt!! This year we had 2130 candy filled eggs and 68 seekers!!
Our prayers were answered and the rain let up before the hunt and came again later that day!


Some are hid so well, and then you just run out of spots so on the ground they go!!





Since my sister was at the lacrosse game, the rest of the kids stayed for the hunt. Hannah loved finding the eggs!!
Every kid got 30 eggs, so I had Kevin follow Hannah and count her eggs while I tried to find the other kids!

Zach and Ben scored big time!






Today was Prom and so Kassidy was still a good sport and the hunt.....I told her it was tradition!!! All kids get the candy....



Audrey with cousins, Rachel and Jessica

As the kids left we handed out treat bags, yep, with more candy!!!!!
