Easter April 24, 2011

I LOVE EASTER!

I love Easter, because I love to see my family having fun hiding Easter eggs, and being creative with their egg painting, and pretty much just being together.

The Easter Egg Toss

 I love when the kids find their Easter baskets.  Sometimes we play hot and cold, and sometimes the kids just find them on their own, any case it's a ton of fun to watch.

 Oooo this is Scott already starting the "raid"

I love new Easter clothes especially when worn with a tennis sock line.

 I especially love Easter, because we pause a little longer in our day and lives to remember our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ.  He died for each one of us, atoned for each one our sins, and then on the third day he rose from the dead.  He was resurrected, he lived then, and he lives now.  I know this to be true.  I love my Saviour and Redeemer, and I know he loves each one of us.  I'm so thankful that each of my children have that same knowledge, and testimony.  I love Easter.

Prom 2011

My babies.  This is the only year that Dallin and DeWitt have been able to double date
to Prom.  Dallin is not in High School, but he asked a girl who hadn't been asked, so it
worked perfect, so that the boys could go together.

Not sure why it's blury, but it really looked so nice.

Nice!

Beautiful table

Dallin is 19!!!!

Crazy, I never believed that my baby would really turn 19, but he did, and it's a glorious day!



Dallin and his ever present smile!


 



19 wonderful years have passed since my 1st son Dallin was born.  He has brought so  much
 joy into our llives.  One thing that comes to mind of Dallin, is when he was about four years old,
he wanted to borrow a hammer and nails from his dad.  We asked him why and he said "I want to build a
 ladder to go and see Heavenly Father, I miss him."  It was so sweet.  Dallin has always been a giver. 
He loves to give to anybody in need.  He gives a smile, a hug, a gift, a note, he gives time and it's all
given freely, he is a very thoughtful person. 


Dallin has always had a "plan".  He knows what he wants from this life and he has never wavered. 
He has a wonderful testimony.  You can see by the way he acts and by the way he treats people that
his testimony is sure. 


Dallin effects everybody he comes in contact with for good.  He makes people feel good
about themselves. 


He is very busy this time of his life.  He has a very full schedule at school including night classes. 
He is the elders quarom secretary in his singles branch.  He is the baptizer at the Gila Valley, AZ Temple
on Saturdays.  He is preparing to leave for his mission to Argentina on May 25, 2011.  He coaches 15 kids
in tennis, and is the assisstant coach at EAC for the women's team.  He has very llittle down time, but when
he does, he plays with his family and shares his contagious good attitude.  His best friends are his brother
and sisters and it's a joy for Scott and I to witness.  Dallin is a wonderful example to our family,
we love him.
Happy Birthday Baby boy.
