Thankful!

I am thankful for this past Easter weekend and the remembrance of the Savior and his resurrection. How comforting it is to know that Christ lives and that He loves each and every one of us. There is a plan and reason for this life and I am so grateful to have this knowledge and be able to teach it to my children. I am so blessed to be a mother and have such a wonderful little boy to raise and I know I have so far to go to reach my potential and to create the home that my Savior would want me to have. I am grateful for General Conference and the teachings that were given by such inspired men and women. I love my family so much and am grateful for the multitudes of blessings that have been poured out upon my family. As I work at the hospital and see the trauma and turmoil that people go through I wonder why I have it so easy. Bryan helps remind me that we will have our trials too and that we should just enjoy the good times while helping others through their hard times. My husband is such a good example to me of how to treat others. He is so kind and genuine to everyone. I love him so much and cherish the times we get to spend with each other. Time flies so fast that I need to remember to just enjoy every minute of it.

Easter, 2010

The Friday before Easter Bryan's work did a egg hunt for the kids and the Easter bunny even showed up. Just like Santa though, Dylan did not like the Easter bunny. In fact he didn't even like any of it except for the ride home when he was able to chow down on all of his candy!


What a great Easter Sunday we had. We started it off having my parents and my brother Darrin and his family over for breakfast and Conference. The later that night everyone came back over for dinner, easter egg hunt, and dessert. My brother Scott and his family came as well. Here are some pictures from the Easter egg hunt.

Katelyn is Scott's little girl. She just wanted to stick all of the smarties directly into her mouth, wrapper and all! So cute!

I love this picture of Dylan! What a handsome, happy little boy I have!

This picture is not from Easter but I love it. Since we have moved to Lehi we are 5 minutes away from Dylan's cousin Carter and they are becoming good friends (when they are not fighting over toys) On a side note, my parents just moved all of their stuff into their new home in Lehi this past weekend. They still have to stay in Price till the end of the school year, but we are so excited to have them close!

Our house is now a home!

Here are the pictures you all have been requesting. It has been so fun moving in and getting settled and I cannot tell you how much less stress I have now that we are moved in and unpacked. We will first look at the downstairs starting with the stairwell.

Bryan's second favorite purchase next to our king bed; his big flat screen TV.

Master bedroom. Bryan said last night that of all the things we have purchased for our house he thinks that our king bed was the best investment. I have to agree that is true.

Shower in master bathroom. Don't you love the two shower heads, and yes I use them both!
