HOME away from HOME

 We are are so lucky that my parents have a home in St. George that we can stay at.  We spend a lot of time down there through out the whole year to just get away.  And we also use it as an in between place to break up our traveling.  Yesterday we took off around 4, as soon as Das got off work.  We didn't want to be traveling in the rain and dark.  The weather was great the whole way.

 We really love staying the night in St. George to break up the trip.  Especially since Logan got car sick, and threw up half way there.  We arrived around 8 and stopped at Del Taco for dinner.  I put the kids to bed, and myself, while Das ran to the grocery store for a few items for the week.

The kids wanted leftover tacos for breakfast.  The plan is to shower and head to Las Vegas for a couple of days, and then back to St. George for a few more.  Time for some R and R.

Easter Sunday

 Unfortunately, I didn't take very many pics Sunday.  I just had to much going on, and forgot.  But Sunday morning the boys woke up pretty early to find their Easter baskets that were filled with lots of little toys.  Their favorites seem to be the bug lockers.  Boys!  After church we rushed home to clean up and prepare food.  We of course had to get a Honey Baked Ham. 

Logan was the only one who had an Easter outfit this year.  The boys just wore their regular church clothes.

Das's mother came home from India a few days ago.  She brought a bunch of gifts with her to give to the kids.  This is Logan enjoying his gift from grandma.  She also brought back some calming oils and stuffed animals, coloring books, and a board game for the boys.  They love them.   

Ratha and Racie couldn't make dinner, but were able to stop by afterwards to visit.  Such cute boys in their Eater outfits.  I can't believe how fast they grow up.   

I am so thankful for this Holiday and for the chance to reflect on Christ and his sacrifices for us.  I feel so blessed to have what I have.  How grateful I am for the atonement of Christ, for the sacrifice he made for us, and for the knowledge of his resurrection...that he lives again...that we may have eternal life.

Easter Eggs

The boys chose to do their Easter egg hunt on Saturday instead of Sunday after church.  I preferred that too, since we had so much to do on Sunday. 

We hid 50 pkastic eggs in the backyard filled with candy.  And a few for Logan to find as well. 

We told them they could have 2 a day.  So far they have been pretty good about it. 

And of course they were so excited to dye eggs.  I boiled a dozen for them, and they spent an hour creating master pieces.  Let's just say I was exhausted at the end of the day.  But I still had lots more to get done before I could hit the sack.  Iwas a great day though.

Hard work = Progress

Last year we put these grow beds in with the plans of putting gravel around them.  We didn't get to it last year, but jumped on it early this year.  We hired some men to come weed our back yard and we wanted to get the gravel down before the weeds came back. 

So Saturday Das got a move on it.  The whole section behind him will also be filled with gravel.  I tried to get out and get some weeds up along there as much as my body would allow.   

Ashton loves to help.  Even though he doesn't quite do a whole lot....we love his motivation and determination to work hard. 

Das laid down some weed blocker before the gravel. 

The finished look.  We have put in so much time in our yard.  It looks amazing.  I will be sad when we sell it.
