Happy Easter and Happy Birthday Jared!

Saturday was Jared's 31st birthday! Wow, that seems so old:) It's hard to believe that we've gotten this old so fast. It feels like yesterday we were dating down at Snow and Jared had only been home from his misson for two years. Jared is a super amazing guy! For those of you who know him, you know that he is very talented with his hands. He can make or fix anything! Just last week he made me two signs out of metal for Enrichment night. He bought the steel and welded them up all in one night, at the last minute. He is so good to me. He is a great leader, father, husband, and example and we love him so much!
We had a great day and hopefully Jared did too. We started out with breakfast in bed and then off to the Clinton City Easter Egg hunt. Later we went on a shopping spree to Jared's most favorite stores. First it was Sportsman's Warehouse to get a griddle for our camp chef, then to Smith and Edward's where we found lots of great treasures, and finally Harbor Freight to get this totally awesome tool that he just has to have, and it was on sale and he had a coupon, even better! He was in 7th heaven and me and the kids had a pretty good time also. Later that day, Jared had to speak at the Leadership session of Stake Conference, which wasn't his most favorite b-day present, but he didn't even complain. Then he came home to one of his favorite dinners, bread and milk! It's a family tradition. Next, I headed to the Adult session of Stake Conference, while he stayed home with the kids. (We went out to Gabor Bros. on Friday night). Easter Sunday we had Stake Conference down at the Ogden Tabernacle. It was a beautiful morning and the flowers were gorgeous! We had a fun Easter and a great b-day celebration.

Ready for conference. Garet had a rough morning:)

Coloring Easter Eggs! Garet just had to eat an egg, so he "accidentally" cracked it! Silly boy!




The Easter Egg hunt!


Mason was good, of course!
