"Throughout our lives, we must deal with change. Some changes are welcome; some are not. There are changes in our lives which are sudden, such as the unexpected passing of a loved one, an unforeseen illness, the loss of a possession we treasure. But most of the changes take place subtly and slowly. Day by day, minute by minute, second by second we went from where we were to where we are now. The lives of all of us, of course, go through similar alterations and changes. The difference between the changes in my life and the changes in yours is only in the details. Time never stands still; it must steadily march on, and with the marching come the changes. This is our one and only chance at mortal life—here and now. The longer we live, the greater is our realization that it is brief. Opportunities come, and then they are gone. I believe that among the greatest lessons we are to learn in this short sojourn upon the earth are lessons that help us distinguish between what is important and what is not. I plead with you not to let those most important things pass you by as you plan for that illusive and nonexistent future when you will have time to do all that you want to do. Instead, find joy in the journey—now. Let us relish life as we live it, find joy in the journey, and share our love with friends and family. One day each of us will run out of tomorrows. " Thomas S. Monson

Easter...

Easter is so much fun.
I love spending time with family its the best!
This year we did 2 Easters. Shane and trish and brayden were able to come to cedar and spend the week with us, they stayed at our house and we had lots of fun...kaylin and brayden played so well together, brayden loves to teach kaylin new things! we did some house hunting together here and then on saturday we had a fun filled day with the haslem side, saturday morning the Easter bunny left a few things for the boys- kiptin got a new set of shuvels and buckets to play in the dirt with, and kaylin got "squishy baff" which turns the bath tub water into a slushy type stuff its pretty cool actually and he also got pop rocket and yummy chocolates which may or may not have gotten eaten my ME! then it was off to playing a discovery park eating pizza, then off to grandpa and grandmas house to color some easter eggs, and then is was up to the hills to do some target shooting SO FUN, and Easter egg hunt. Nicks parents always hide prize eggs for everyone and then we get silly gifts which we all laugh about but they are fun, its fun just to be silly sometimes, right!
Then we headed to stg on Easter Sunday to spend the day with the forsyth family, we ate the best feast ever, everyone brought stuff to share this time to make it easy on nana, then as always she makes sure to have a little easter egg hunt for the 5 little grand boys she has.
We all love nana so much, we each told a favorite memory we have of her and that was fun to hear from everyone!

One thing we never want to forget and we need to be better at teaching out boys about it why we even have Easter in the first place...its not all about the egg hunts and candy and Easter bunny...but most important about Christ, who bled and died for each of us and made it even possible that we are here and have the chance to raise a family here on earth and are able to live the life worthy of returning back to him someday. I love my savoir so much, what he did for us is so unthinkable and selfless, the greatest act of love and kindness any one can ever offer us. I hope we can always remember this and think of it daily and not just when Easter comes around!
HAPPY EASTER!

good advice!

Be very careful if you make a woman cry, because God counts her tears. The woman came out of a man's rib, not from his feet to be walked on, not from his head to be superior, but from his side to be equal! Under the arm to be protected, & next to the heart to be loved.
