Pres. Emery and the Henderson's

It's so great to catch up with friends. First, we visited President Emery and his new wife Sharon, Cades mission President and new wife. It was great to see them. Cade was really close to him on his mission because of being AP (Assistant to the President) for a while. The girls favorite part of the visit was the stork they got to ride :).

Aimee and Russ Henderson came to visit!!! We miss them so much! What great friends and amazing people. We were first friends with them in college in our married BYU ward. We had some awesome memories- stinky sheep, exploding chocolate fountains, crazy dog Jonah, camp-outs up Hobble Creek, singing in stake choirs, card game nights, and seeing them adopt their first child, Savannah. And so much more. They are incredible people and it was so much fun seeing them again! (Photo credit: Emma :)).

Easter 2016

I love Easter time- the flowers and plants starting to come back to life, baby animals, our Robins nest on our back porch (minus all the bird poop!), warmer weather that brings playing outside, dying eggs, Easter Egg Hunts, and of course the most important thing- talking about and spending more time thinking about our Savior and His atonement and what that means to us in our lives.

Our favorite tradition is to eat a waffle breakfast and watch the sunrise in our family room and talk about Christ being the Light of the World. I am so grateful for my Savior who makes it possible to repent from mistakes and wrongs we've done and become more like Him. There is such great happiness that comes from knowing you can always be with your loved ones for eternity. Hallelujah!

A new favorite tradition (3rd year now, I think?) is going to Thanksgiving Point during their Tulip Festival. The gardens are filled with tulips and it's gorgeous. Some day it would be fun to go with just Cade and I and have a RELAXING walk with him :). By myself with all 4 was still fun but by the time we were half way there, deep into the gardens, the girls and my feet were hurting and there was a whole lot of complaining on the way back!!! We still had fun!
