Springtime

I love springtime. I always think that the fall is my favorite, well I still think it is but, there is just something about the springtime that I so love! Could it be my birthday is in the spring, or maybe because my wedding anniversary is in the spring, or it could be because of mothers day?

I had such a good time for my birthday yesterday. I was thinking about the day last night as I went to bed, and thought about all the people that gave birthday wishes, or that I spent time with. I love you all. I felt so much love. My family treats me like a queen, but yesterday they really out did themselves. It was nothing over the top, just their thoughtfulness and the love that I felt from them. My friends, my extended family, my kids friends, my husband! A big thank you!

I do know for sure I love spring because it is EASTER! I love the thought of EVERYTHING coming to life again. As my thoughts have been on my SAVIOR so much this week, I can't help but be grateful for his life, his death, and then of course the Resurrection. I loved all of general conference! It was so good. I think the best talk was Brother Holland's. I love him, I love to listen to him talk. His talk on Christ was so good.

This week for our scripture study we have done the last week of Christ's life. Shea assigned each one of us a day. We study it and then talk about it on that day. It has been wonderful to hear the kids testimony of how they feel about their Savior. Tiffany did such a good job yesterday, and then Derek and Justin had this morning. They are great teachers, and I can feel their spirit as they give us what they have learned. I love that they talk about the things they learn about in seminary. I am looking forward to hear Jordan and Aubry do their day also. And then Melany and I have Sunday! I am so thankful that I have the gospel of Jesus Christ in my life.

Happy be-lated birthday Yvette!! I'm so glad you had a good day. I have to agree with your opinion on Brother Holland. He is one of my favorite's as well. His talk last fall on angels was so beautiful. After hearing it I couldn't wait for the Ensign to get hear. There is not a lot of talk about angels, so I absolutely LOVED his talk.

I like what your doing with your kids for Easter and studying the Savior. I'm gonna have to remember that as my kids get older. Happy Easter!!
