Sunday Dinner with Pa

The first Sunday of every month, we got to my Father-in-law's house for dinner.

My father-in-law Richard (Rick to everyone else), is a terrific guy.  I know this because of big things, but also many little things he does.  Among other things, one of the biggest ways he has helped Nathan and I is by helping to watch our kids since Jared was a baby.  Not many grandpa's sign up for that.

Also, when he cooks chicken for dinner, he always cooks me boneless, skinless chicken breasts because he knows I hate bone-in chicken.  He knows the way to my heart is directly through my belly!!

Spring Break 2016

For spring break this year, we took the kids to Mesquite for a long weekend.  We swam in the pool the first day, but then it was rainy and windy the next couple of days, so we took a trip to see Hoover Dam.

Clara got to push the buttons for the elevator during our tour.

Easter 2016

This past Saturday, I let the kids color Easter eggs.  It's quite nice that they are old enough to do this pretty unassisted.

Jared was gone helping Pa work on his house, and Amelia and I were getting ready to leave for General Women's Conference, so unfortunately Jared wasn't able to participate.

The next day, after attending church, we headed over to Grandma Carter's house for the Annual Easter Party.  After eating dinner and watching a movie about Easter, Grandma bore her testimony of the Atonement of Jesus Christ.

Then we bashed Easter eggs.  Cole's egg reigned victorious this year.

Then it was outside for the egg hunt.

The kids pulled in quite the haul!  We missed most of Eric's family and Jennie, who weren't able to make it this year.

Clara got some new sunglasses and was very excited to wear them like Nathan.
