"You will have significant experiences. I hope that you will write them down and keep record of them, that you will read them from time to time and refresh your memory of those meaningful and significant things. Some may be funny. Some may be significant only to you. Some of them may be sacred and quietly beautiful. Some may build one upon another until they represent a lifetime of special experiences."
-Gordon B. Hinckley

Happy Easter!!

We had a fun long weekend. It was a great way to end our Spring Break. Brody got to go golfing for the first time in over a year! It was a nice day, little chilly, but it was still super busy out there. It took us almost 5 hours to do about 12 holes.
It was really fun to be back out on the course with Brody again!

There were squirrels everywhere. At one point there was one right next to me, looking up at me, and acting like he was going to crawl up into my cart and search me for food.
Brody played really well, he said MUCH better than he expected for not touching his clubs in so long! I am glad we were able to go, it's always a lot of fun!
I like this hole, the sand trap looks kind like a heart.
We ended up spending about 6 hours at Disneyland, we got there in the morning and time just flew by. It was a blast! : )

We picked up some of these yummy freshly made chocolate fudge eggs for Easter.

Brody letting the Toys out of their chest!



On our favorite ride, Pirates of the Caribbean!

We heard that in the 'Many Adventures of Winnie the Pooh', they have some of the characters from the old 'Country Bear Jamboree' that used to be in this spot, up on the wall right after the "heffalumps & woozles" room. And it's true! Here they are! It's fun how they "hide" things like this on rides!



haha....I had to put this up : )

(Took this mid-ride, came out really pretty)

One of the best things about Disneyland this time of year, are the beautiful tees that are in bloom right now! Everywhere you look, there are these colorful trees......and flowers! : )



Brody also won a Tony Hawk prize pack! He saw Hawk was doing a 'Treasure Hunt' on Twitter this weekend, so we followed it and found out that there was one prize in Mission Viejo; we were curious to see what it was all about, so we thought we would drive down there, and see how many people would show up......we got there, and JUST missed getting it! Talked with a guy whose wife was also helping him out, and then we went on our way.....thinking that was that.

Then a tweet came in on my phone about one in Costa Mesa, so we hopped in the car to give it a shot! We pulled up to the location and Brody got out while I parked---and he just happened to be the first one there, and WON!! We were SO surprised! The wife of the guy that we met at the first location sent us a congratulations message from the both of them. We thought that was nice. What a fun 'Easter egg' hunt!

Brody with Joe, the guy you had to see to get the prize. Joe was SO excited to see what was in the backpack, he was opening it before Brody had a chance to! haha

The official photo that we had to send to Twitter to let everyone know it has been found!! : )


The whole prize!! : )

Our Sunday Morning....laziness in PJ's, Yummy breakfast, lots of Easter basket candy, & lots of General Conference! :)


Candy & all other things aside---We are very mindful of the reason for Easter and are so thankful to our loving Savior, Jesus Christ. For His ultimate sacrifice for us, His ministry and the opportunity He gave us to have such a wonderful life, with so many things that fill our hearts with gratitude each and every day! We are so blessed to have the knowledge of the gospel in our lives! Happy Easter!! We hope you had a wonderful weekend! : )

Bottom of the 9th, baskets loaded...

We had a really fun Easter weekend! Saturday we went to the Angels game, and we thought it would be nice to bring something to contribute to the memorial for Adenhart---I bought several tulip plants the night before--I couldn't resist they are great for Easter & I yellow is my favorite color---so we took one of those up and added it with the others before the game. We were thinking how nice it is for the family to see how much people care.
The mound with his number on the back!
We LOVE baseball!!
It was a great game! We were ahead for most of it & then the Sox really started gaining on us....and it was time for the Rally Monkey to come out!! =)
It was bottom of the 9th bases loaded, Angels only down by 1---and everyone was on their feet for what felt like ten mins.....and then they lost it and the Sox won! But still it was an exciting game & we had a blast!! =)
It was such a beautiful day for an afternoon ball game!
I see the big leagues in my future!!

Easter Sunday we went over to my parents house for a really yummy Easter dinner (Thanks again Mom!) & loaded Easter baskets! Don't you just love Easter!? =)
(We also gave my parents a lovely tulip plant. They are just so pretty) =)
I had boiled some eggs on....I think Friday night and we were planning on decorating them, and then got busy! So we took it all over to my parents and had some fun with eggs! =)



We had fun experimenting with the colors and wax crayon! =)

We are so grateful for the gospel, our Savior and this beautiful time we have to reflect more on his life and love for us! We hope you too had a wonderful Easter!! =)
