Tais's Baby Blessing

Family fun on Tais's special day

 Taissia looked so beautiful in the dress that her grandma made for her.

Isn't she a doll?!

Conference Fun

General Conference is a fun time for LDS families.

 Here we are, all snuggled together, listening to conference.

When the men all headed to the Priesthood session, us lady folk and the kids stayed home to make a special treat--break a parts!  When the men got home, we had a lovely time eating the treat and hearing about the session.

Families are Forever!

Words from LDS children's hymn:

 I have a fam'ly here on earth.

They are so good to me.

I want to share my life with them through all eternity.

Fam'lies can be together forever

Through Heav'nly Father's plan.

I always want to be with my own family,

And the Lord has shown me how I can.

The Lord has shown me how I can.

Easter

Easter is such a beautiful holiday.  It is time to spend with family and friends and remember the life of our Savior.  I love that we have a holiday to celebrate His resurrection.  We will all live again because of His resurrection.  What peace this brings.

Easter also brings other things, like fun traditions:

Egg Hunt #1

 Our community put on an Easter egg hunt for the children.  Kyler had lots of fun finding the hidden eggs and seeing his friends.

 Who would have known a few eggs could bring such happiness?

 Another fun family tradition is coloring Easter eggs.  Kyler loved having Ana (from Serbia, how cool!) help him.

 Grandpa was delighted to have Tais's opinion.

 We all had a good time.

Easter Egg Hunt #2

Kyler had lots of fun finding the colored eggs at our home Easter morning.

He also found six letters that spelled "Easter".  As we unscrambled the letters, we talked about the meaning of Easter and the Atonement.

Egg Hunt #3

With extended family gathered, Kyler got to do another egg hunt.  He waited very patiently while it was set up.

Tais enjoyed her first Easter, especially all the attention she got.

Here is everyone watching Kyler as the hunt begins.

Kyler's only competition was his great grandparents.  They raced after those eggs with laughing and squealing Kyler beating them to every one.  Sometimes it is fun to be the only child who can walk!
