1)Glad to remember what is important about Easter and hear how the kids feel about Christ.  They always have a fun perspective.  Every one's testimony is personal, and each relationship with Jesus is unique...but I can not imagine life without knowing that He know who I am, what I can be and where I am going.

2)That being said, it is also great to have a little bit of fun on Easter day with a few treats.  We always wait until after church, because we would like the kids to remember that Easter isn't really about a bunny.  This year I was sick...in bed for days kind of sick...which sucked, but it also gave me a chance for laughter.  Pure joyful type, not sarcastic over the way that Shon and I do things differently.  Shon and I had shopped for baskets before I got sick and on Sunday Shon-O brought the basket stuff to our room so I could help.  Here is how it went,

K-Did you find everything?
S-Yep all taken care of. :-)
K-Did you find baskets for them?
S-Don't need them, I have something else (pulls 3 Big Lots bags and a Wal-Mart bag out of his pocket and proceeds to start dumping stuff into them.)
K-(laughing) uhm, what about the eggs?
S-Don't need them, I'll just put the candy in the bags...
Kids-Yay!

Lesson learned?  I have my way of doing things and Shon has his way of doing things...and they are both okay.  Everybody was happy.

3)Even though we don't do much, Shon and I still enjoy getting each other a little something on Easter.  I am not a clothes horse, so I don't do the Easter dress thing, but Shon treated me to fresh flowers and my favorite chocolates.  He picked out white chocolate and some little plane parts.  Not much, not expensive, (which is good) but it makes me feel special to know he is thinking of me. 

Happy Easter.  Life is sweet.

1) The sunshine in the trees in outside my bedroom window.  I can't be outside in it, but it is so beautiful and it makes me feel like I am in a treehouse.

2)  Even though I am stuck in bed sick, I am glad that Shon is in town and I don't worry about running anyone anywhere or worry that they aren't getting enough attention.

3) Orange juice with ice in it. 

1)Shelter from our crazy wack a doo spring weather...snow rain WIND mix tonight and 50+ tomorrow.

2)Ibuprofen I hurt everywhere from coughing. 

3)Talking to my sister.

1)I love, love, love the fact that my kids are out of school for the next 5 days! 

2)Whoo hoo we get to sleep in tomorrow morning...I tell ya, early morning seminary is an act of obedience and faith for the parents as well as the teens.

3)I have a new book to start and since I have a cold, I am going to be lazy and get back in bed for a while tomorrow and read. 

1) Enjoyed teaching at National Camp School with Shon and some other amazing teachers.  I love that we both love Scouting so much and can do it together.

2) Glad that Joey was able to go with Shon on his trip this weekend.

3) Amazed, humbled and grateful that we have a living prophet here on the earth today.  I know that he is a man of God and that we have a rock for our foundation and a rod to hold onto in a turbulent world. 

1) The delicious dinner Alex and Joey made.  Skinless chicken breasts cooked in garlic and olive oil served with rice on the side and fresh veggies.  Half of us ate them cooked, half (me included) chose raw.  It was fresh diced turnip, asparagus and green beans tossed with a little bit of olive oil and lemon pepper~salt mixture.  Heavenly.  Plus I love to see my kids enjoying being together. 

2) Starting to feel like I am getting a handle putting my house back together.  It has been so busy with kid activities, Shon traveling (he is gone again) and Scouts.  I have been painting, worth it, but brother, during it is such a mess.

3) My bedroom, comfy bed, warm blankets, window cracked and a new book.  Goodnight.

1) While I am sad our old Bishopric was released, I love who the new Bishop is going to be. 

2) Built a bookshelp kit all by myself. 

3) Having an Oreo on hand to help me recover from thinking that I wanted to build a bookshelf by myself.  loll
