Young Women General Broadcast

So about a month ago I was called as my wards Young Women President.  I was so excited/panicked for this calling.  So far everything has transitioned very smoothly and I have beautiful amazing young women to work with.  We got to meet at my house to watch the meeting last weekend with the girls and their moms.  It was so much fun.  The meeting was extremely spiritual.  Young women's is a busy calling, but I feel like it's one of the best and I'm so glad I get to work in it.

Easter 2013

I love Easter for many reasons.  For the obvious spiritual reasons, Jesus was Resurrected. But I also love the rebirth of everything around me.  The trees starting to bloom, the sun shining a little more, the days growing a little bit longer.  There's just so much joy, peace and happiness around this time of year. 
 I also have a deep weakness for Easter candy.  I love Easter egg hunts and Eater meals.  Our ward did an Easter Devotional and Easter egg hunt this year.  It was a lot of fun and the weather was perfect. 
 My kids dyed Easter eggs on Easter Sunday.  I was kind of the mean mom and only let them do 8, so that I could just make devilled eggs out of them, but my kids thought it was awesome.
 Before church I tried to get Easter pictures of my kids, which is not always the easiest thing.  Olivia wouldn't let go of her dress in her picture.
 This is the best one of my boys together, I never could get them to look at the same time.
I loved this one.  Even though it's not technically the best, I love Olivia looking at her brothers.  That is just how she is, always looking to them for everything, whether it's a laugh, to play, to tease/torment or whatever.  She loves her boys!!

Pinewood Derby 2013

Pinewood Derby 2013 was set to be EPIC.  Brandon (and Logan) researched and worked on their car for weeks.  Brandon (and Logan) were determined to win.  Logan painted his car and named it the "Blue Beast".  He was so excited to see his car race.  There were 12 boys in his group racing.  When the results came in he was 3rd overall.  Logan was so EXCITED!! Brandon saw room for improvement for next year and lucky him, he'll get to do 2 cars next year.
