Easter Weekend

Well, all of these pictures and more are allready up on face book, so feel free to go there and see our whole Easter weekend festivities.

My cousin Julia helped me out big time again in making Kailey a special Easter dress! I am making good use of the fabricville membership these days, and I am thinking that I really need to get a sewing machine ... but then again I really like going out to Julias house to use all her fancy equipment, and I like having her there to answer my questions .... AND she is good company, so maybe I should'nt get a machine after all.

I couldnt help myself one day looking at kaileys cute little toes. I was doing my own nails and she was trying to grab at the bottle of nail polish, so I sat her down beside me and did her toes too. She was so shocked that she sat very still the whole time. It has been 2 weeks almost now and she still points and smiles at her pink toes. She is Mamas girl after all!!!

Also on our Easter weekend I made some treats that we used to make at home when we were little. I made up a big batch one day and we brought some to our neighbours on Good Friday. We really are trying to get to know our neighbours, they are really nice as far as we can tell and we are sad that we wont be here in the summer to get to know them better.



I guess I should have put this picture up by the other one of the dress, but I bought this little tag at fabricville, and sewed it into the back of the dress. I like making stuff for Kailey that is differant from everyone elses stuff. Who wants to be wearing the same thing as everyone else? how embarrassing, right??

Anyway Easter was great, Kailey was all excited about the chocolate trail that she discovered outside her door, and she followed it all the way to the pile of goodies in the living room. The bowl of chocolate was sitting on the table for a day or two and everytime she saw it all she would say was " OOOoooooOOOOooooo" and point at it, smiling so sweetly at me as if to say, " Mama do you love me enough to give me just one more candy?"

Other than the commercial side of Easter, the real side of Easter was definetly on my mind while I was remembering Elder Hollands talk from General Conferance. He did what He did for us purley out of love and compassion and mercy and He did it completley alone. I think back to the times in my life when I have felt alone, and they are some of the most horrible memories i can think of, and even then I wasnt really alone. He truly had to bear more than we can imagine and I love Him for it.

Anyway Davis is deep in Exam mode the last few weeks, I am spring cleaning and getting things ready to go out west yet again. Davis leaves a week from today and Kailey and I are leaving the day after Stake Conferance. We are looking forward to another great summer, but we will definetly miss our house, family and ocean again.

Is it too early to start a count down for when we come home???
