"I don't want to drive up to the pearly gates in a shiny sports car, wearing beautifully, tailored clothes, my hair expertly coiffed, and with long, perfectly manicured fingernails. I want to drive up in a station wagon that has mud on the wheels from taking kids to scout camp. I want to be there with a smudge of peanut butter on my shirt from making sandwiches for a sick neighbors children. I want to be there with a little dirt under my fingernails from helping to weed someone's garden. I want to be there with children's sticky kisses on my cheeks and the tears of a friend on my shoulder. I want the Lord to know I was really here and that I really lived."

— Marjorie Pay Hinckley

Easter






Grace's First Easter! My sister had an easter egg hunt at her house and Grace even "found" a few eggs herself. We painted one for her as well, but the picture didn't turn out so well! We spent Sunday with Gran't parents, here are all of her cousins but one on that side. (no, I didn't make the dress)






Then, this Mon-Wed my sister, sister's kids, my mom and me all traveled to Utah to see my other sister over spring break, Grace got to take a bath with her cousin. She liked it because they have better bath toys than we do.

How fun! I am looking forward to being able to play with Eldon next Easter like that. How cute, and it was fun seeing a little peek of you in one of those pictures. :) P.S. My goal is to call you this week!
