Visiting Daddy!!

Ryan's grandpa came down to help me pack stuff, then accompanied us to Page for the weekend. Grandpa let us work on him to move down here with us. He really likes Page, and the lake and golf course help a lot! Ryan took us discovering! We had a ton of fun, and are sad to be separated again.

Janey stole Grandpa's heart! Here she is "copiloting."

Happy Easter everyone!!

We wanted to bear testimony that Christ is our Savior, and that He did, in fact die for us so that we can live again! We've been pretty excited to talk about the resurrection today, because we look forward to it some day! How wonderful to know that we can be together as a family forever! We watched the movie Testaments tonight, and Taylor (in reference to the story of Jesus) said "I believe it." Wow! What an awesome boy! He's an example to me!

We were so excited to have Daddy here for the weekend to spend the holiday with us. We just sent him back to Page, and we miss him already! We love you sweetheart!

I got this really cool book, A Christ Centered Easter, from Deseret Book last week. It's got lots of ideas and activities for making Easter more about Christ and the resurrection. We tried a few things, and really enjoyed it! I highly recommend the book!

This year was Janey's first "fun" Easter, so it was exciting. She (ok, the rest of us, too) munched on candy and edible grass all day, played with plastic eggs and tried hard boiled eggs. They didn't go over very well...

We have some dang cute Easter chicks and bunnies, and the proof is in the photos!

...busted, Jane!

CUTIES!!!

FOR RYAN:

Dear Dad, I hope you have a good day. I love you so much and I miss you. I want to see you soon. Love, Taylor

jh bnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnrrrrv h Love, Janey

I love you Daddy! I hope you have a good day. love you, love, Callie

Separated...

Well, Ryan moved out! The kids are already missing Daddy. He has officially started his new job in Page, and I get the pleasant job of packing and cleaning all by myself! I'm so excited! No, I've got parents coming in a couple of weeks to help us out, and I have really great friends and neighbors around who'll entertain the kiddos so I can focus! I know everyone says this, but you really don't realize how much stuff you have until you have to pack it all up and move it! Anyway, the kids and I will be here until Taylor is done with this term at school. We'll be out of Cedar City the first weekend in May. Page, here we come!
