Easter.

I had a great long weekend home last weekend. Thursday I went and got a pedicure with my mom and we bought LOTS of plants, which I spent all day Friday planting. (It started pouring just I was finishing and didn't quit until I left home, so no pictures of my hard work. The rain is another story. Goodness...) I really enjoyed my day outside. 

Kody (and Gus) came over, and so did Brett and Emma, Friday night. Sabbath we spent the day at church, remember the great sacrifice that Jesus made for us. I sang "Why" by Nicole Nordeman. I will post the video but it's with a little apprehension. It was hard to get through. Everyone was crying, my allergies were TERRIBLE, and I was the most nervous I have ever been when singing in front of people. I literally thought I was gonna pass out in the middle of it. Haha I normally don't get nervous when I sing in front of people, especially my home church but this song has so much power. I guess that is what made me so nervous, the words are just amazing! Aunt Caroline and I cried almost every time we practiced it. Anyway, enjoy.

Sabbath afternoon was spent with family. :) It was raining so we all visited inside.

Saturday night was exciting. The kids decided they both wanted to sleep with me, both nights. Which was a little surprising, considering Emma is glued to my mom usually. Friday night went pretty good. They both talk in there sleep, which made me laugh a few times, but Saturday night was the fun night. It stormed really bad. About 3:00 in the morning the thunder got really loud. Every once in awhile it would be really loud and every time the kids would both sit straight up and yell "It's a tornado!!" It was hilarious. I would tell them it was just thunder and they would automatically be back asleep. One of the times Brett popped up and said "It's a tornado!! Don't worry I learned what to do at school." so cute.  It rained ALL day Sunday. We got almost 8 inches on Sunday alone I think. Or at least somewhere close to that much. It never quit! 

Our whole yard looked like this.

Our little pond was going over the spillway and spreading way out into the pasture. 

So, we spent the day inside. I braided Emma's hair. I was surprised she sat still that long.

We dressed Gus up. :) He still loves us. 

We dyed eggs.

Adam was quite creative. 

This is how Gus felt about it.

Since it rained ALL day, we hid eggs in the house. The kids still enjoyed it.

Gus is loved by all. :) He had so much fun running around everywhere in our yard and escaping. Sunday he had to stay inside because it rained so much. I don't think it hurt his feelings any.... he was worn out by the time the day was over. He had a blast following everyone around. 

It was so nice to be home and relax with family. This weekend is my dad and I's birthday weekend. I have to work, so my family came to see me. 

Well I need to put the girls to bed.

Hope everyone has a happy weekend! :)
