Easter plus another week

Avie 

 Easter is my favorite holiday.  It's a time to think about the Savior and everything that He has done for us, and not have all the distractions of  presents, parties, programs, etc.  It is also the most important holiday to me for many reasons, but especially for the reminder that death is not the end and we can see those loved ones again that have gone on before us.  I loved the Easter lesson and the reading suggestions in the Come Follow Me program this past week.  I felt closer to the Savior as I read the scriptures and watched the videos. 
While we don't have too many "trappings" at Easter, we still love to have the family over and to have an Easter Egg hunt for all the grandchildren.  I've made it easy on myself by having everyone bring enough eggs for their own children, and then having Caitlyn and Jennie hide them.  Unfortunately, the yard was too wet this year to have our hunt outside, so we put all the kids in one room while the eggs were distributed.  Then, of course, they found them all within minutes!

 After the hunt was over, the weather cleared up just enough for the kids to get out and play.

 Mav, Max and Bev had their own Easter in Texas.  Georgia isn't any closer, but it will be fun to visit them there as it's kind of by our old stomping grounds.

Just before Easter I had the opportunity to watch Nick's kids.  Sara had a doctor's appointment, and Nick had a scout camp out.  Effie got hold of my phone.  She obviously knows how to work the camera.  I had to delete about 20 pictures of my ceiling and the back of Avie's head, but she did get one of herself.

Avie was sweet, but had to be held the whole time.  Hopefully this stage
won't last long because it makes it hard to play with Ori and Effie.

 Ori brought some bubble gum and asked me why her name was on it.  The word that was on it was "Original."  But the first three letters definitely spell Ori.

 Roy and I also had the "opportunity" to spend a few days with Dan's kids.  He had a mandatory, on-site meeting at Berkeley with his fellow classmates.  Jieun was able to escape with him.  The kids were actually very good.  It was a chance to develop a closer relationship with Dojin.  The first night he thought his place was right between grandpa and grandma.  Roy tried to switch him to the outside of the bed so he could be by me, but Dojin was not going to let that happen.

He took a nap each of the 4 days.  I was not expecting this, so it was
really nice!

 We finally found a good place for him to sleep (see below).  We thought we had it all figured out because by the last night, he was putting himself to bed in this spot.  However, when we awoke the next morning, he was not in this bed, but was downstairs sleeping with his sister, Doyeon.  I guess we didn't have it figured out after all.

He was mostly asleep in this picture, but when we started taking pictures
with the flash, he couldn't resist smiling.

 We took them to Sizzler before we took them home on Wednesday night to put them in their own beds to wait for mom and dad.  They ate well, especially the watermelon.

 Jieun painted these murals for Mountain Man Days at her kids school.  I told her I hope the school uses them for years to come.  What a lot of work!

We went to Ollie and Finn's baseball games on Friday night before Roy left on a camp out with his priests.  He didn't leave until 9:15 or so, because a lot of his priests had work or other activities, so he waited for them so they could drive up together.  They all complained they had no money, so Roy put them to work when they got home on Saturday so they could earn a little bit.  He was able to get our cars washed, waxed and detailed, and extend our drip system to some new plants.

Roy on left with another leader.  Our bishop worked very hard to get Roy
released from his YSA calling so he could have someone who was willing
to go camping with the boys.

 After the camp out, Saturday's chores and a short rest, we headed to Logan to eat dinner with Crista and Matt, then watch Caitlyn's ice show.  Caitlyn ate with us, but left before we took the picture.

 Greta and Ruby loved the ice show.  We left at intermission so we wouldn't get home too late.

Caitlyn choreographed this number for the Utah State Figure Skating Team.  She also coaches the team (volunteer).  The number was really cute, but of course we focused on the star of the show!

Dan and Jieun needed my help to take the girls while they
took Dojin to get a couple of stitches after he fell and
hit his head at a neighbor's fireplace.  I was in Logan, so
they had to find alternate care.  I told them I was super glad it
didn't happen on my watch.
