Look who came to see us...

We just love that Morgan and Alisa came to see us. Jenna Morgan thought that Morgan was so fun. She says her name MOErgan (moe like toe). She will randomly ask about Alisa and/or Morgan. It's pretty cute.

Happy Easter!

Jenna loved Easter!

She loved her Easter egg hunts...

...playing with her cousins...

They were running in circles... undoubtedly caused by the consumption of many jelly beans.

... going to cousin Bolton's baby blessing.

I loved me some snuggle time with this chunk hunk.

 My brother turned some rabbits loose in my mom's yard last fall. She has one caught because they are starting to munch on all her pretty flowers. Aaron told Jenna that the rabbit in the cage was the Easter Bunny. So if you ask her where the Easter Bunny is, she'll say "side (outside) (at) Magaw (Grandma) Boo's".

Somehow that bunny escaped to hide eggs filled with candy and leave her a kite...

She loved to hang onto the tails of the kite as Daddy ran with it.

And a beautiful dress...

Think she liked it?

When did she become my little girl and not my baby?

Easter reminds us of the atonement and resurrection of our Savior. The more I learn about the atonement - the more powerful it becomes. The atonement is not only for my sins but for my sorrows, short comings and accomplishments. Through the power of the Atonement we can do and overcome all things.

"If you have felt the influence of the Holy Ghost today, you may take it as evidence that the Atonement is working in your life. For that reason and many others, you would do well to put yourself in places and in tasks that invite the promptings of the Holy Ghost."

—Henry B. Eyring, "Gifts of the Spirit for Hard Times"

I am grateful for my forever family.

Hawaii

At the beginning of March we went to Hawaii with some of Aaron's family. I just love Hawaii and am trying to scheme my way into living there during the winter. Sad to say I haven't really figured out how to do that yet :). Going to Hawaii is my therapy, you just tell me who wouldn't feel recharged from this.

It was fun to take Jenna with us. I was nervous about the long plane ride with a toddler but she did great. Infact she was great the whole time. There were no fits, she took naps on the beach and slept well through the nights - which is more than she does at home (additional therapy).

At first she didn't love the texture of the sand on her feet. She would curl up her feet and say, "hold you." However, she was very content to sit and play with the "chovel and bucket." We went to Hukilau beach towards the end of our week. There were families there, assumedly from BYU H, with small children. Jenna played with them and decided that running in the sand and water could be quite fun.

Jenna loved our bike rides. She would just kick and kick those legs as we rode.

Jenna is a Daddy's girl.

My favorite picture... it summarizes our trip!
