Happy Easter!

We had a fun Easter weekend. On Friday, I got to go out with the girls for Hilari's birthday. Dinner and a comedy show was included. It was fantastic! On Saturday, our planned trip to see the last Easter Pageant at the Mesa temple got rained out. Derek, Jon and Warren camped out for several hours in the pouring rain under a single umbrella in order to save 15 seats. They got cold and wet pretty quick. We decided that nine kids under the age of five wouldn't last very long for the show. Instead, we enjoyed a nice dinner out and played cards until the kids nearly crashed.
Sunday was beautiful. I cooked some good breakfast for all of us. We even made it to church on time (8AM)! Then we ate dinner with the Coombs and had dessert and an egg hunt with the Howards. FYI, my fruit pizza was delicious (strawberries, mandarin oranges and blackberries). Paul planned hiding the eggs nicely by allowing the weeds to grow in strategically placed areas of the backyard. Thanks for your efforts, Paul! :)
Many thanks to Grandma Rose for the fun treats, hats, shoes (Jake's first flip-flops). They love those hats!
On a true note, we focused family night on the real reason we celebrate Easter: The Atonement and Resurrection. The boys listened intently as we showed the various pictures of the Savior's last days. Josh was impressed to know that Jesus said sorry to Heavenly Father for everything that everyone has done wrong. We are so very grateful that Christ is the bridge that brings us back home to a loving Heavenly Father.

Cute Pictures!!!
I’m glad we weren’t the only ones that decided it was too cold and rainy to go to the pageant this year!!
We’ll have to plan out to go to an earlier show for the pageant next year.
Sorry to hear the boys got rained on for so long- even more sad to miss out on the card playing!! We love you guys!
I'm glad you guys had fun for Hilari's birthday:) And I love the pictures of all your boys dressed up for church:)
Your boys are really cute! Glad you had fun.
Hey Rebekah! So glad you found me. Sutton talks CONSTANTLY about Matthew. He is having a birthday party on May 30th and he really wants Matthew to come. Send me an e-mail so I have your address and I will send an e-vite to you. If he's available that weekend...we would love to have him come celebrate. He was Sutton's best friend at Pre-School.
