bunnies.... eggs....???

Easter was coming and you know what that means.... Bunnies and eggs! It is one hard holiday to teach our children it is really about the Resurrection of Jesus Christ. We ask our children, "Why does the Easter Bunny come?" They answer, "Because we deserve it." All parents know what I am talking about. So among all the hub bub of eggs and bunnies the true meaning of Easter is the FACT that Jesus Christ was resurrected.... and because he was resurrected we know that we too can be resurrected. That is amazing! So why do we celebrate The BIRTH of Jesus all month long, but the RESURRECTION for only a weekend? I guess that is a question for Commercialized Businesses. As my Dad said, "Hello! You can only buy so much chocolate! The stores know that."
First, on Friday, we went to the Mall to see the Pagan Easter Bunny. Then on Saturday we dyed and hunted eggs. Do not ask me why bunnies and eggs go together. I guess bunnies and chickens are friends. When I told Strong Man we were going to Nanna and Papa's to dye easter eggs he looked at me funny and said, "You mean we are gonna kill them?"




Then on Sunday, After the Easter Bunny hid baskets, we got dressed in our Sunday best and went to church. Nick and Gina were blessing our adorable nephew, Drake, so we went to Sacrament in their ward and then went to primary and sharing time in our own ward. Church was awesome. It was more about Christ than about Bunnies and I liked that a lot! The spirit was thick in primary, even with little bodies full of chocolate. We finished off the day at my parents where we had, yes another egg hunt, and egg rolls. Very appropriate don't you think?




This little family of ours is why Easter is so important...... we will be together forever!

Who wouldn't want to be able to see and kiss these adorable faces forever?

I am grateful for the Resurrection!

Our cRaZy CrAzY Boy!

Sunday morning. Little Miss and Little Man are in the shower....Strong Man decides to join them. Need I say more? Can you guess what he is today?? Hillarious!!!

NINE YEARS!

Yeah I know what you are all thinking........ she married up. To celebrate our 9 blissful years we went to Lincoln City. This is a very significant place for both Dustin and I. We have both been hit by a seagull at the coast, while on a date, but not with eachother. (before we were married for all of you raising your eyebrows) We got to know eachother here at a 4th of July bash, and Dustin got his first head massage from me here. (the #1 reason he even considered marrying me) We also honeymooned here.

We call this location directly behind us "Memory Beach" and have a painting of it, by my Dad, hanging in our bedroom. This is where the Fireworks first flew for us on the 4th of July. If it weren't for that activity, Dustin would have never asked me out.

Here we are in front of our room at the Inn at Otter Crest. We honeymooned in this very same room thanks to my Uncle Don and Aunt Mellie who own this condo. (Thanks a bunch!)

Here we have some romantic sentements written by some mysterious person. It is so wierd that their names are the same as ours!

If you know anything about me it is that I LOVE to swim in to ocean.... so here I go! One just cannot let the cold weather get between them and their love of swimming. I told Dustin he was next, but he declined!

We went to out to eat at the casino once and Mo's twice, we went to the movies, we shopped, we laughed........ we had a gay (happy) ole' time and cannot wait to do it again. Thanks to Nanna and Papa who watched our three little monkeys for us so we could remember what it is to be IN LOVE!
