Easter Gratitude

I am so full of gratitude. Easter gratitude. Tyler asked me to speak in Sacrament Meeting today, and I was kind of dreading it at first, but then I realized what a blessing it was, as I immersed myself in the Savior's life this week in preparation for my talk. I am so grateful that He fulfilled every bit of his part that he came to earth to do, and I just hope to be able to follow him a little bit better each day.

I loved this Easter video--so short and impactful. He suffered more than I can comprehend, so graciously and with such dignity. And because he fulfilled his mission, I have hope. Light and hope, that I can fulfill my own small mission in life, and return to live again with my Heavenly Father, my Savior and my precious family. Enjoy the video and Happy Easter to you all!!

I tried to take an Easter picture of the kids today, but Garrett had already changed out of his sunday clothes. I just had him put his vest and tie back on over his regular clothes. He said, "You better not show this picture to anyone!" So, being the great mom that I am, here it is for you all to enjoy. And a few from the egg hunt yesterday. Oh, and our camera is on it's last leg. The flash doesn't work, so I have to do pictures with no flash, which means the kids have to hold perfectly still or they'll be blurry. Riiiight, kids hold perfectly still. Funny. So we are in the market for a new camera--any recommendations?
