easter

Hello all! I have been waiting for about an hour to blog. The power was out and I had no internet. It was sad. But now all is well.

Our Easter was quite marvelous. Friday night we tried to dye eggs. It was mostly James doing it. We used Kool-Aid and it worked pretty well once they dried.







Saturday morning we drove down to Salt Lake. We went to breakfast with my family and then saw Heaven is for Real. It was pretty good. Kind of slow but it had a good message to it.

My aunt had an Easter feast at her house and it was quite delightful. It was great to spend time with my grandparents and aunts.



We drove to my aunts with my brothers. While we were driving there we saw this guy driving with his foot out the window. It was pretty hilarious...so what did Shane do? Stuck his foot out the window too! I love my brothers! Mom and dad weren't entirely pleased with his decision...mainly dad. HA!



The rest of the day we spent hanging out with my family and relaxing.

Sunday we went to church with my parents. The era of the palm leaves is officially gone! Bishop Hansen is here and is making changes!! The new Easter program was very nice...and normal. HA! I love my family so much! I am so grateful for the great relationships we have with each other.




We came back to Logan Sunday afternoon just in time for dinner and Easter basket hunts!

Daren taught Adison about what the beaver says and he does a little beaver noise. Well she thinks it is so funny! Doesn't she look so grown up?!



James and Susi brought over a new bubble machine and it is awesome!! I seriously want one! The kids LOVED it!






 Time to find the baskets! We hid them pretty well. Most of them had trouble finding them. Except for Adi. She went straight to hers. I'm not sure how she knew where it was! Love these kiddos lots and lots!








One last note, the other day Adi was over playing outside. She kept putting rocks in her pockets. So many that her skirt fell down! She didn't quite understand but I thought it was hilarious!





I am so grateful for my life. Grateful for our families and our friends. Grateful for our health. Grateful for our Bear doggy.Grateful for my sweet husband and all he does for me. And it's all because of Him. And for that, I am forever in His debt.

jacob cruz

Guys! I have a new nephew!! And he is so squishy! I LOVE him!

Jacob Cruz was born on March 26! We are thrilled for the Bastos family!






This week I was able to take some pictures of him at just one week old! Of course he had to wake up during them! I don't know what it is about babies but whenever I am suppose to take pictures of them, they are awake! Just the opposite of what I need them to be! Oh well! We got some cute ones...and he did finally fall asleep. 




In other adventures...

We went to the Home and Garden show a few weeks ago with Annie and Harley. It was the MOST random show ever. They had everything from jewelry vendors to bee hive keepers to tombstone companies. Also, there was this giant chair there! So random. But we had a good time and we bought FOOD STORAGE!! You know you are getting old and boring when we are excited to buy food storage...but seriously we were stoked!




Last but not least...what is a post without a few pictures of Adison, right?! She makes my soul happy.



We have been enjoying a nice relaxing weekend watching conference. So far it has been wonderful and I can't wait to hear and learn more!

Much love!
