Easter!!

Happy Easter!  We had a wonderful Easter.  Benson had a long week due to his minor surgeries and so he stayed home with Spencer.  Our Young Women's lesson was on the Savior and it was a powerful lesson.  I feel so blessed to have a testimony of the gospel and of our Savior, Jesus Christ.  He gives me strength and is my friend.  Because of my testimony of his gospel and the plan of Salvation I have been blessed with three handsome boys and an amazing father and husband--our family would not be as strong as it is without the gospel.  Families are forever!

We enjoyed the afternoon at the Miller home.  We had a super fun secret we got to share!! Our brother-in-law has been in Texas training for the National Guard.  He was supposed to come home in two weeks but surprised Candice by coming home on Easter!  I cried at least 4 times about this reunion (once after I booked his air flight, twice as I thought about their reunion, third when I heard Candice open the door and    have her breath taken away as she looked at Kayle on the doorstep holding flowers, and then fourth as I thought of Candice's reaction when she saw Kayle).  We enjoyed a delicious family dinner, beautiful spring weather, and a scrabble game (Kristi beat Nicki and I).

I should add that my parents were in Arizona picking up my Mom's new Harley Motorcycle.  She said she can now turn 50 (which will be in October) because she is a Harley Grandma! I will post a picture of her shiny bike soon.

 Reece absolutely loves the Sunday comics.  This is him in heaven.
