This weekend has been full of Ben and the kids spoiling me with love. I got to sleep in, change less diapers, and have some girl time with friends. I am so grateful to be a mother. Being a wife and mother are the best things that have ever happened to me. They are my everything!

Easter is always a wonderful holiday! It is all about celebrating the resurrection of Jesus Christ and the promise that life doesn’t end when we die. I really tried to teach Hallie about the resurrection this year. (I don’t have anything against the easter bunny but we opted to not mention anything about it to Hallie.) When we asked her what Easter was about she would tell us that bad guys killed Jesus and then 3 days later he came back to life. Ben also took the time to teach her a lesson about our bodies and our spirits using a glove and hand.

The Easter festivities included a pre-easter party at my friend Corina’s house, a naked easter egg hunt on Easter morning (only Hallie was naked btw), a wonderful church meeting-besides me wrestling both kids during sacrament meeting (ben was on the stand being the choir narrator) and Hallie yelling at me, “Let go of me, don’t touch me!” so the whole congregation could hear. And it ended with a wonderful meal. (The sure way to please Ben!)

FYI: Potty Training has introduced Hallie to the world of being naked. She would run around naked all day if I let her…so sometimes I do. 🙂

This past week we had amazing weather. We took walks to the park every morning, played outside for hours, and wore sunscreen and short sleeves. It was heaven! One day we even went swimming at my friend Lindsey’s house. I love warm weather; it makes me and my kids happy.
