NYC

I had a blast in New York.    This was my 3rd trip to the city, but it never gets old!

   *Warning! Picture overload*
I drove in NYC! It was much less intimidating than I thought.  There were a couple tense moments, especially merging from 10 lanes into 2 in 30 feet going into the Lincoln Tunnel.
 I lucked out this trip!  Randee has friends that live in the city.  Thank you Allison and Noah.  I am lucky to have met such a great family.  They were great hosts and I am forever grateful for their hospitality.

-The Shake Shake. (really, really good burgers)

Easter Weekened 2013

Happy Easter from our family to yours! 
 Sunday: At the branch.  I am so thankful for Jesus Christ and the hope and joy that the act of the atonement brings to all mankind.  I know he is my Savior.  He lives!  I know this to be true.  I can feel the comfort and joy in my heart when I say this.  He took upon himself the sins of the world.  He took upon himself my sins in the garden of Gethsemane.  Jesus Christ is the Son of God. He lived for me, and died so that I may live again and become clean and pure.   

 Saturday:  Egg hunt at the church.  It was freezing.  (As usual around here.  Spring just doesn't want to show!)
 Heath wanted to find eggs. He really did.  But every time he started to, he got side-tracked and forgot what he was supposed to be doing.


 We are the parents that forgot to bring an Easter basket for the kids.  Naturally, we used trash bags from the janitor closet.

 Friday Night: Painting Eggs

 Scuba- 'Dye'-vers.  (I love pinterest.)

More Easter Weekend activities!

We went to the Zoo with Cori and her kids on Friday.  Getting a zoo pass has been one of the best things here!  We go at least 1x a month, and when the weather is nice, more!

 Every time I hand my camera to a stranger to take my picture, the people in it are ALWAYS blurry.







 Be the polar bear!
