I love Easter. I love the season and why we celebrate it. I love that Jesus was resurrected. I love the Atonement. I love that he died for my sins, and that because of him I can return to him.
I love the Easter Bunny, the candy, the warm weather, the promise of Spring.
Last weekend my parents came to spend Easter with us. It was so fun to have them here,.
In my opinion, no one is EVER to old to color eggs! Seriously!!!!! We colored the eggs. So fun….Boy, I need some grand kids.
Then Monday was my Dad’s Birthday. He is such a blessing in my life. We got up and took my parents to the City Creek Mall. 
Then took my dad to PF Changs for lunch.
a couple days ago I was headed to the grocery store and came across this SPRINKLER ART!!!!!!! Oh I couldn’t get enough!
I love to record history. I found this here at Housewifeeclectic. It is so fun to see the stuff when you were born over here at
This is the info on the day I was born. So fun.
