Happy Easter!

We've kept busy this week.  Dan had a couple really long days at work.  The company was doing a big push to get something out to clients and Dan wanted to make sure that his part was done so that he wouldn't have to be working over General Conference/Easter weekend.  Monday was the usual - laundry, grocery shopping, school stuff, etc.  Anna is playing volleyball after school.  She's really enjoying it!  

Tuesday, we had the Louvren's over to play Settlers of Catan and had a fun time eating ice cream and playing together!  

Wednesday morning, David had his 9 month check up - he weighed in at just over 20 lbs - he is growing so fast.  The doctor said the rash that has showed up recently is excema and a couple other little rash things all at once, so he gave us some ointment to help with them and his skin is looking SO much better now!!!  

Here's a cute picture of David helping me do a little grocery shopping.  We needed a couple things - when Dan was going to be home really late one night, I decided to put off the more complicated meal that we had planned and went to grab the stuff for Chipped Beef instead.  David loved driving the cart!  

This is David's new favorite game - the kids think it's great too.  The stand him up and let go of him to see how long he can stand, then catch him when he starts to fall.  He thinks it's awesome - he loves the part where they catch him - so much so that after awhile, he will intentionally start to fall just so he can get caught, and then he giggles like crazy!  

The kids had no school on Friday, so I took Anna with me to Volleyball again on Friday - she had a great time.  I'm also having a great time watching her get better.  She is better every time I play with her!  She's starting to try over hand serves!  

Friday was a fun and busy day.  We met up with Sandi and Taz and Kai at a park to play and chat and have fun.  The kids had a great time with their cousins.  Then we headed home to decorate Easter eggs.  The kids had a lot of fun decorating the eggs.  I enjoyed watching them and looking forward to making them into deviled eggs!  

Saturday morning, a family in the ward was having a breakfast potluck/Easter egg hunt, so we headed over with some coffee cake and Easter eggs.  I let the kids open their baskets first so they had something to keep the eggs in, then we headed over.  

The kids had a good time, though I think Eileen was a bit disappointed when she didn't get many eggs - but overall they had a good time, then we headed home for General Conference.  

General Conference was WONDERFUL!  It's so nice to have a prophet who is healthy enough to address us at conference - his words were so inspired and so wonderful.  It was a wonderful way to spend Easter weekend.  So much to learn and some exciting changes.  It's so neat to see the way that the Lord encourages growth in the church and in individuals through the programs of the church!
