EASTER SUNDAY-2013

 WE WERE ABLE TO GO TO MEMORIAL GARDENS BEFORE CHURCH SINCE OUR SACRAMENT MEETING DOESN'T START UNTIL 11:30.  WHEN TAMI CAME OVER WE HAD A FEW TIMED PICTURES TAKEN..

 WE WENT TO ALASHA'S GRAVE SITE AND PLACED SOME BLUE FLOWERS THERE.  IT'S HARD TO IMAGINE THAT IT HAS BEEN 34 YEARS SINCE SHE WAS BORN.  WE DO LOOK FORWARD TO MEETING HER SOME DAY.

 ITS COMFORTING FOR US TO HAVE THE EAMES PLAQUE  WITH MOM, DAD, RON AND TERESA'S NAME ON IT  NEAR THE RESURRECTED CHRIST STATUE.   BECAUSE OF  CHRIST   WE WILL ALL BE TOGETHER AGAIN  SOME DAY.

 GOING TO MEMORIAL GARDENS  REALLY HELPS US TO REMEMBER WHAT EASTER IS ALL ABOUT. THE WEATHER COULDN'T HAVE BEEN NICER.  WE DID MISS THE BLOSSOMS  BUT IN A COUPLE OF WEEKS THEY WILL BE LOVELY.  EASTER CAME EARLY THIS YEAR.

 SHADOW AND MUFFIN LOVE THIS EXPERIENCE AS MUCH AS WE DO.  THEY ARE SUCH WONDERFUL LITTLE DOGS AND WE ENJOY TAKING THEM TO  MEMORIAL GARDENS   WITH US.

 WE ALWAYS SIT AT THIS BENCH.  IT'S NICE TO BE IN THE SHADE AND SIT FOR AWHILE.  IT'S A GREAT PLACE TO TAKE SOME PICTURES TOO.

 WE LOVE THE 3 STATUES OF CHRIST AT MEMORIAL GARDENS AND ALWAYS WALK TO EACH OF THEM.  THIS IS CHRIST  AT THE SERMON ON THE MOUNT.

AFTER LEAVING MEMORIAL GARDENS WE TOOK THE DOGS HOME AND WENT TO OUR SACRAMENT MEETING.   TAMI WENT TO CHURCH WITH US AND IT WAS A WONDERFUL MEETING.   WHAT A SPECIAL WAY TO SPEND EASTER!!

OUR EASTER FUN DAY THIS YEAR!

 WE CELEBRATED OUR EASTER FUN DAY WHEN TASHA AND JEFF WERE HERE IN GRAND JUNCTION.  WE WERE ABLE TO DO ALL OUR TRADITIONS.  I LOVED TAKING PHOTOS OF REYGAN AND COLDON WITH OUR EASTER BUNNY.  WHAT ADORABLE MODELS THEY WERE FOR ME

MY FAVORITE PHOTO.  I DIDN'T POSE THEM FOR THIS ONE BUT I WAS ABLE TO CAPTURE THE LOVE REYGAN AND COLDON HAVE FOR EACH OTHER.



 WE ALSO HAD FUN DECDORATING EASTER EGGS TOGETHER.  COLDON WAS OLD ENOUGH TO UNDERSTAND WHAT WE WERE DOING.  REYGAN LOVED WATCHING AND HAVING HER MOMMY COLOR THE EGGS.

 SUCH  BEAUTIFUL LOOKING EGGS WHEN WE WERE FINISHED.  JEFF AND GRANDPA DON HID THE EGGS OUT IN THE FRONT YARD WHEN THEY GOT OFF WORK.  TAMI GAVE THE CHILDREN CUTE EASTER BASKETS TO PUT THE EGGS IN AND THEY LOVED THE HUNT.

 A FAMILY PICTURE AFTER ALL THE EGGS WERE FOUND.  NOW IT WAS TIME FOR THE INDOOR EASTER CANDY HUNT.  TASHA, TAMI AND I HID THE EGGS AND GIFTS AROUND THE FRONT ROOM FOR COLDON AND REYGAN TO FIND.

 THEY WERE DELIGHTED WITH ALL THE FUN STUFF THEY FOUND!   EVEN THOUGH OUR FUN EASTER DAY WAS A COUPLE OF WEEKS BEFORE EASTER, WE REALLY ENJOYED IT WITH COLDON AND REYGAN,.

 TASHA AND JEFF TOOK ALL OF US OUT TO DINNER AT OLIVE GARDENS TO FINISH OFF OUR WONDERFUL DAY.

THE NEXT DAY WAS ANOTHER TRADITION WE ALWAYS DID AS A FAMILY ON EASTER SUNDAY.  IT WASN'T SUNDAY  BUT WE WANTED TO GO TO MEMORIAL GARDENS TO THINK ABOUT OUR LOVED ONES.  BECAUSE OF EASTER, WE WILL SEE THEM AGAIN SOME DAY.  HOW GRATEFUL WE ARE FOR THIS KNOWLEDGE.

OUR VISIT WITH THE LADNERS WAS LOTS OF FUN AND MEMORABLE.  AFTER TODAY ( EASTER SUNDAY)  I WILL BLOG MORE ABOUT THEIR VISIT.
