No need to be pretty.......

My 5 year old  and I talked about marriage today, this is how it went....

Avery:  "Mom, do I have to marry a mormon girl??"  

Me: " Well, I hope that you do so that you can be married in the temple."  

Avery:  "What happens if I am not married in the temple??" 

Me:   (I went on to explain eternal families, etc. to him) 

          then I said....

          " Maybe after your mission you will go to BYU and find a 

             pretty girl to be your wife."  

Avery: " She doesn't have to be pretty."

Me:  "You don't want your wife to be pretty???"

Avery:  "DAD'S WASN'T."

Me:  "You get that I am dad's wife right?"

Avery:  "Mom, I have seen pictures and you were weird looking.

Thanks Avery, I am sure anyone who's seen pictures would agree.  It was the 90's, give me a break.  

Easter weekend

What a great week and weekend we had with friends and family! We started the week off by focusing each night on the last week of Christ's life. We even had our own "Last Supper" that included lamb, humus, dates, unlevened bread and honeycomb. This will be a new yearly tradition for our family. Next we had a visit from our dear friends, the Singers!  We had such a fun time!  Our kids are already missing them! We then ended on Sunday with church and a beautiful day at the park with family. How thankful we are for our Savior's love and all he sacrificed for us.

My boys ripped off their church clothes before we could get a family picture! Bummer...

Anxiously awaiting egg hunters.......

Instead of the kids track meet today we.....

went for a hike at the beach! Sometimes you just need a break from all the sports activities! We saw dolphins, seals and two baby humpback whales!
We finished off with lunch at the famous beach front restaurant Neptunes Net. Track meet all day or beach??? As you can see, not a hard choice!

A laugh for those "die hard" fans.......

My cousin had these posted on her blog and I just had to share....
