Easter 2013

Trying to decide if I should post what I am really thinking or keep this a happy Easter post. 

Woke up and the kids saw their Easter baskets.  This is the first year we have done baskets and I think it went well.  Kids got a few things they needed and a few they didn't.  Then off to church.  I got a few pics before church and this is the result
Well...Let's back up.  So we did an egg hunt inside the house because it was too late at night last night when I got the eggs done.  So the kids looked for eggs before it was time to get ready for church

Then we got ready for church.  It was fast and testimony meeting. For the most part our ward does really well with following the standard set by the first presidency.  Then when we got home I wanted some pictures taken.  So this is what the result of that was.




Then the kids finished their egg hunt.  Lee went over to my parents to fix their stove and we joined him after Andrew woke up from his nap.  We had dinner with my parents and came home to finish a book report.  Lee worked this evening which is good and bad. 

The kids had so much with the egg hunt that they took turns outside hiding them for each other.
Now the kids are in bed and Lee is still at work. 

Life is good!

Just in the spirit of Easter...I know that my Savior lives and that he died for me.  I know that Easter is not about new clothes or eggs or baskets.  I know that my kids know that as well.  It is about a celebration of hope of Christ rising from the death.

Time to dust this off

L:ong story short I came across something that made we want to add back to this. Not sure why but hwere we go. Life is constantly chaning and I feel so mnuch surround bu death lately. Not diredctly although I fee like that is coming but more just heartbreak for so many around me. Yesterday Victoria quailfied for state. It was an answer to a prayer. I prayed she would qualify and felt strongly she would. As we left her away at the meet she was certain as were we that she hadn't qualified and then the clouds parted and she will be able to run. She told me she prayed that she would have a good last high school race. and her last race was not grea. There were tears. And rears when she called me to tell me she qualified. So rad trip to ther side of teh state next weekend Wednesday Jake is going through the temple. So many mixed feelings for so many reasons. I shouldn't expect people to show up but sometimes it is just so hard when my mom is the only "church...

Here is what we have been up to for the past couple of weekends,  Jake had his first soccer game.  Shawn came to visit.  Lee got a new RC truck that he loves and so do the kids.  They spend the weekend chasing the truck which totally wore them out.  We did some gardening.  Victoria and I went to Weiser to a baptism of one of my previous foster kids.  It was so great to see the family again.  I really miss seeing them on a monthly basis.  We played newspaper tag with Shawn and Demitri. Grandma Gina and Grandpa Don stopped by for a little while on their way home.  Oh yea and the primary had a bug day where the kids dressed up like bugs.  Victoria was a butterfly and Jake was a bee.  I  have four more days left of the semester.  Lee is in Kamiah this week to spend some time with Shawn before basic as well as some other things. 
When you know somebody is having a hard time in their marriage.  Pull them closer.  Ask to take the kids for a weekend.  Bring them dinner.  Reach out to them.  Ask them how they are doing.   Don't insist on visiting or having them visit you.  Know that their world feels like it is falling apart and it is taking every bit of energy to put on a good face for the kids and to work and run a household.  And it is has to be done while they continue to reside with somebody who they are struggling to have the most basic of conversation with.
