Easter Eggs

We dyed eggs last night after dinner and although Keddi had been sick all day again, she did not want to be left out of the fun. She'd fallen asleep on the living room right before we were even finished with dinner so she seemed ready to dye eggs when the time came. The little girls had four a piece and the older had five. But after she finished her eggs she went back to the couch and laid down. The older girls decided that they like to eat boiled eggs a year or two ago so we started coloring eggs at our house again. We'd gone a few years without doing it.

Spring Break

This week is our Spring Break and wouldn't you know that one of us would get sick?! Keddi woke up feeling bad Tuesday and ended up vommitting and having 102 fever. She was doing better yesturday but is still sick. We were going to do some fun things and now we are just hoping that she will get better by the time we do our Easter egg hunt on Saturday. We also have a lot to do on Sunday for the Easter program.
I thought this would be fun to post. This is Easter 1998.

Look ma no training wheels!

While we were hanging out Sat, night I turned around and found Tersa helping Keddi learn to ride a bike with no training wheels. Keddi decided that it is hard work and she wants to try with her smaller bike. But I appreciated Tersa helping her without having to be asked by me. There are lots of children that know how to ride already but it isn't Keddi's fault. It never occurred to me to decide when is a good time and I don't think it occurred to her until recently that others ride bikes without those little wheels sticking out the side. She is like Tersa in that she is driven to do like the big kids do. I'm sure she'll be up and runnin on her own in no time.

Conference Weekend

I love Conference weekend. I love the talks and getting to see how the Prophet looks like he's doing. I love staying in my pajamas all day on Sunday. I love that my two oldest girls sat in the living room for the entire sunday morning session of their own choosing. And I loved spending much of Sat. with the Wilson's. We usually watch one or two saturday sessions together. This year they came to our house. We ate dinner together after the 2nd session and Joel and Justin went to priesthood session together. While they were gone we hung out in the front "yard" and I took some pictures.

Friends

On Friday we were invited by the Flinders to go play pool with them. They also invited our good friends the Wilsons. After pool we went to Chili's for some appetizers, desert and laughter that we just hadn't gotten enough of.
(I took the picture of the women. Not a great one of me and it's also my excuse for almost cutting Jen out. The thing is, it took me four or five tries to get this. I'd ment to have Joel take a good one but forgot.)
