Easter Egg Hunt!

Jaxson cried his eyes out when he saw the easter bunny...you tell me why you think that is....

It was a rainy day in St. George for an Easter Egg Hunt! That doesn't happen very often so it was a bummer that today of all days it was raining. Jaxson was wanting just to eat the candy, which was fine, once we got his excitement up for putting candy into his basket, he got the hang of it. We couldn't believe all the overagressive parents stuffing a ton of candy and eggs into their kids baskets. Nate said if he was helping Jaxson, he would have been among that group of crazy adults. My theory is that they do this holiday for the kids anyway, and Jaxson right now would be happy with just a couple little things of candy anyway, so I just let him do his own thing. It worked out great, and Nate was able to learn a valuable lesson....that he didn't want to appear like a crazy selfish over-agressive parent, stealing candy from a baby. And that's what all these parents were doing from Jaxsons little area he was at, I couldn't believe it. But overall, it was a lot of fun, and we're glad that Jaxson is part of our family to celebrate easter with.

April 3-5 weekend

We had such a fabulous weekend up in Salt Lake/Orem area this weekend. For those of you who don't know, I'm coaching a club volleyball team here in St. George. They are 14 years old, and the cutest girls. We sure have fun, but I'm also a little competetive which is hard for 14 year olds to comprehend. Anyway, practices are sometimes not fun for the girls because we are working hard on fundamentals, which is important for improving. They are improving a ton, well at least the ones that listen and apply themselves. We ended up taking first in our tournament over the weekend, and the first two tournaments we took 41st, and 43rd. Talk about a huge improvement. These girls know now how fun it is to win now, which makes me excited, because I think they will try harder now. But I do need some good volleyball drills for this age level if anyone has any suggestions!!!The next amazing part of our weekend was that we got tickets spur of the moment to.....

The sunday morning session. That was a fun session because right before is Music and the Spoken Word that they record, which totally helped the spirit to flow in that ginormous building. I enjoyed and got more out of conference than I ever did before. Just feeling the General Authorities presence and hearing their inspiring words made me cry so much.

And how about this stud....Isn't he amazing? He has a story to tell about any and every detail in the world. He is living his message, and it makes me want to too! The greatest thing that I got out of it was that I need to find Joy and happiness in my life no matter how hard my circumstances. The atonement and the gospel provide the way to having that joy NOW! not just in the eternities. I love this church!

We also got to spend a lot of time with Nate's sister Heidi and her family. Jaxson had so much fun playing with his little cousins Anna and Eva. I need to borrow the pics from her that she took then I can post them. For some reason the new SD card we got doesn't work on our computer, and I can't find the cords to the camera to plug into the computer, so sorry it's been so long since I've posted anything!!
