Easter

 We began our Easter celebration on Saturday with our traditional Easter Egg Hunt.

We decided a couple of years ago to replace candy filled eggs with money.

Not surprisingly, the kids LOVE this tradition!

Lining up to get a good start...every second counts!

 This year we hid the eggs in Grandpa & Grandma's front yard.

We needed some new hiding places!

 Haley was the lucky bunny to find the "golden egg"!

Missionary blessings!

Easter Sunday, March 31, 2013 was Haley's farewell talk.

She spoke in her YSA ward, along with Elder Jim Wright (area authority).

Haley did an awesome job and we are so appreciative of all the family and friends 

who took the time to come support her.

 Cousin Kyle reports to the Provo MTC the same day as Haley.

He will be serving in the West Indies Mission.

 This could be the last family picture for 6 years....(insert quiet sobs)

 Tyler, Brett and Cameron

 So fun that Kyle and Haley's farewells were on the same day...

Cousin Jerry, Jessica and cute kids were here from Germany!

 Can't wait to see who will grow the most in the next 18 months!

Easter Pageant Angels

Haley and Cassidy have been participating in the Easter Pageant this year.  

It has been a great way for Haley to spend her last few weeks at home

before she reports on her mission.

We participated in it as a family in 2008 and it was awesome!

A huge time commitment, but we had an incredible experience.

I can't watch the pageant now without having 

all of those feelings of being in the cast come flooding back. 

We recite the narration, sing the songs, listen for the ques,

 and remember how amazing it was to be back stage

 and watch the crucifixion and garden scenes.

2008

Curt played an apostle, Tia an angel, Bennett was a young shepherd who got to hold the lamb,

and the rest of us were multitude people.

 This year Haley and Cassidy are both angels!

Their performance takes place up on the roof of the stage.

The are in the birth, resurrection and finale scenes.

 One of the favorite parts of being in the cast 

is mingling with the crowd before the show begins.

It is fun to see friends, as well as meet lots of new people,

many of which want to take a picture with you!

with Jesus

 the Roman Soldiers

cousins Kyle and Brittney and their cute little girls, Addison and Charly are also in the cast

HAPPY EASTER!

Easter 2012

We had a busy, but wonderful Easter Weekend!

Bennett loves to make money.  He has more ideas than I can keep up with.

This Spring he and a friend bred and sold rabbits.

Not just any kind of rabbit, but the cute floppy eared kind.

 They timed the births to perfection and had

Furry, floppy eared baby rabbits ready to sell Easter weekend.

I was a huge skeptic!

I quickly became a believer when he easily sold all 5 rabbits for $35.00 each and

people came from over an hour and a half away to purchase one.

 They even rented the baby bunnies out to a family for a party the night before they sold them!

 Last year we began the tradition of an easter egg hunt with the kids.

This tradition is different from the one the kids grew up doing with cousins.

We had 25 eggs filled with money.

The "golden egg" had a $50 bill.

 The girls gave up after about 15 minutes.

Haley and Cassidy only found 2 eggs each and Tia let Brett do most of the hunting.

No one is more motivated by money than Clark!

With his persistance and competitive spirit, he found the coveted egg!

Sunday we attended our Sacrament Meeting Easter Program
and loved that Haley was able to join us.

E.T. and Kristin hosted a delicious dinner with Grandpa and Grandma
who shared an Easter message and their testimonies.

We are truly blessed!
