A few easter pics...

We had a great Easter weekend!! It was a very busy one. We started off Saturday having an Easter egg hunt at Scotts grandma's house. She died a year ago but this is where Scotts family always had their Easter egg hunts as kids so we thought it would be fun to do it one last time! The kids loved running around getting Easter eggs! At the end Scotts mom gave out money that went with corresponding eggs. If you had an even numbered egg it was a dollar, odd numbered 50 cents and Egg number 33 was the coveted $5 egg!!! Brinley found that one. And boy was she excited!!!

We then went up to my moms house for her birthday!! She is turning 31 ( *wink wink ) this year and we went up to celebrate. You would think we would have been the most exciting part of the day but no...it was when two ducks flew into her yard that she thinks followed her home from work! She ran out to feed them and had everybody cracking up that she was so excited about it. I guess these things excite you when you get as old as her!!

The next morning was Easter *and my birthday*. The kids were very excited to wake up to the Easter Bunny foot prints that he leaves every year. (sorry this picture is from my phone so its not the best...but you get the idea!)

After church we headed down to my grandma and grandpas house for lunch and an egg hunt! The kids loaded up on lots of candy and money eggs!! Lucky ducks! I say we do a money hunt for the adults next year. I could use a few dollars.

We then ended the night at Scotts parents house for dinner. (Did I mention we ate enough to last us a week!!) It was a great Easter and Birthday!!!

I belong

Elder Jeffrey R. Holland in speaking of the divinity of The Book of Mormon said: For 179 years this book has been examined and attacked, denied and deconstructed, targeted and torn apart like perhaps no other book in modern religious history—perhaps like no other book in any religious history. And still it stands. Failed theories about its origins have been born and parroted and have died—from Ethan Smith to Solomon Spaulding to deranged paranoid to cunning genius. None of these frankly pathetic answers for this book has ever withstood examination because there is no other answer than the one Joseph gave as its young unlearned translator. In this I stand with my own great-grandfather, who said simply enough, “No wicked man could write such a book as this; and no good man would write it, unless it were true and he were commanded of God to do so.” I testify that one cannot come to full faith in this latter-day work—and thereby find the fullest measure of peace and comfort in these, our times—until he or she embraces the divinity of the Book of Mormon and the Lord Jesus Christ, of whom it testifies. I ask that my testimony of the Book of Mormon and all that it implies, given today under my own oath and office, be recorded by men on earth and angels in heaven. I hope I have a few years left in my “last days,” but whether I do or do not, I want it absolutely clear when I stand before the judgment bar of God that I declared to the world, in the most straightforward language I could summon, that the Book of Mormon is true, that it came forth the way Joseph said it came forth and was given to bring happiness and hope to the faithful in the travail of the latter days.
