1st Beach Day!

We've had weather in the 80's all week and too many stressful things going on, so we decided to make a trip to the beach this weekend and relax for a couple of hours. It was Sadie's first beach day ever, and our first beach day of the year.... so here we are in all of our whiteness:) Her cuteness was not so cute, however. Hopefully she'll enjoy it more next time when we don't decide to wake her up half an hour into her morning nap to go. The rest of us had a lot of fun though!

Happy Easter!

We really enjoyed our Easter this year. It was a busy day, but lots of fun, and lots to be grateful for. The bishop asked Russ to give the "Easter Sermon" at church, and the kids did a great job trying to sing a song with the primary that they barely knew. There were lots of other great musical numbers, and the meeting was very uplifting. We had some friends from Russ' class over for dinner and an egg hunt to celebrate the occassion - although I think we had nearly as many non-Christian friends as Christian ones:) The kids all had a great time hunting through the backyard to see what the Easter bunny brought...


Jess took some great pictures including the one of all the kids below: Mason, Elsie, Luke, Mimi, Parker, Katie, Cole, Ellia, and Kayla. What a fun bunch with so much personality!
