Dying Easter Eggs

Easter and General Conference-what a wonderful combination! The Saturday before Easter we dyed Easter eggs. Woke up Easter morning to our Easter baskets, and enjoyed watching the morning session of General Conference. I was sick, so I laid in bed most of the day watching Conference. Mike and the girls went to Grandma and Grandpa Jones to visit. It was a beautiful Conference and I enjoyed listening to all of the talks! How special it was to hear from our beloved Prophet and Apostles on the day we celebrate the resurrection of Jesus Christ! I was so proud of Karrie, who watched all of Conference and took notes! She is growing into such a sweet and spiritual young woman!

On April 10th, it was our 18th wedding anniversary! Mike and I went out the night before to celebrate. I can't believe it has been 18 years-how fast time goes by! I am so blessed to have such a wonderful husband whom I love very much! On Saturday (April 10th) we attended Olivia's baptism (my cousin Eric's daughter). It was so good to be with family, especially seeing my Aunt Breta (my Mother's sister). She has been such a comfort to me since my Mother died! My sister Amy and her family and my Dad also attended the baptism. It was a beautiful baptism!

Tuesday, April 13th, my sister Amy and I met our cousin Kaye and her family, and our cousin Jenny, at Olive Garden for lunch. We haven't seen Kaye for a while and we rarely get to see her. She and her family were here to bring their son, Christopher, to the MTC. It was another wonderful opportunity to reconnect with family!
