Church Easter Activity

The day after Dan returned home we had a Easter activity with our church. It was the perfect time to spend together as a family just reunited with Daddy after 2 weeks apart.

The primary teachers put on a lesson about the Resurrection for all the kids. Afterwards there was an egg hunt for the young kids. Benjamin found the maximum that he was allowed to collect of 10 eggs. Zachary did a great job too. Benjamin was nice and helped him out. The boys both participated in a cupcake walk. Both of them landed on numbers that earned a cupcake. There was a table of sandwiches and lemonade. And the boys had fun playing football and running around with their friends.

I have to say that our ward rocks. There is always an activity planned. And everyone is so nice and welcoming. We have received amazing acts of kindness and service from different people. And it just makes me so happy to be a part of the church of Jesus Christ of Later Day Saints. I usually don't get very "churchy" on our blog. But I am full of gratitude and love for our savior especially during this time of year.








 Benjamin was playing football with boys twice his age. And out there watching him tackle and throw the ball, you could not even tell there was a difference in age. Future football player maybe?????? I'm thinking yes.

love all of the posts. sorry to here about the craziness of your pregnancy. i don't know how you do it! i must sound like a wimp to you!!! i'm glad that your mom and ward members could help out. i rely on my mom and ward members a lot too. sometimes i wonder if all of their service hours go to me! hopefully they don't mind. I can't wait until I get to return that kind of service to them one day. wishing you an uneventful next few months and you're in my prayers.

I guess I jinxed myself with the second to last post. I was bragging on how "easy" this pregnancy has been. Well, the good news is that I have yet to lose my lunch, breakfast, or any meal with this baby. The bad news is that I have been losing a lot of blood and having sharp pains in my belly. This was day 4 of those same symptoms, and I decided to head to a DR to make sure everything was okay. The great news is that I saw the baby's heartbeat for the first time and it was strong! And the cervix looks perfect. Also, I went to one of the best OB Women's health centers in the west. The Mary Birch Women and Baby center is amazing! Their staff was wonderful! I was treated by a perionatologist (Dr who deals with high risk pregnancies) who just "happened" to be on staff that day. I felt very reassured after leaving that I had received the best treatment possible. (Shauna - I thought of you the whole time) I realized how blessed I am to always have such great Dr...
