Easter Baskets

It is Easter Sunday and the kids were very excited to find their baskets. They got swimsuits, clothes, candy, and snacks. Lexi also got a game - Cat Stacking. We have a visitor this weekend - Lucy.

Have you ever wondered why I have less pictures of Lexi lately? She has become the queen of avoiding pictures. She turns, holds her phone up in the way, complains a LOT, and generally ruins my pictures of her. So - there will be less for a while until she finishes this annoying stage (hopefully, soon).  

YW Cell Free Zone

For the past few years, the YW leaders at church offer treats to girls to turn in their cell phones. That way, they can concentrate on the message rather than be distracted by their phones. It was a teenage girl, Emily Field, that came up with the idea. She has since graduated from high school and gone on with her life. In fact, she just returned from an 18 month mission to Siberia. They look this picture in honor of her contribution and to welcome her home.
