Happy Easter


March 23rd, 2008

Here’s our annual family easter picture (using the camera timer).

I made the girls’ dresses, of which I’ll share more pics later. I’m pretty pleased with how they turned out, considering my sewing machine died mid-week and I had to borrow one. (another post on that later this week)

Justin was in the Stake Easter Pageant again (this time as an angel), so we went and watched that last night. It’s a good way to get the kids understanding why we celebrate Easter. Of course, I could go on and on about the lack of services where we live, and how we tried getting dinner somewhere in White Rock to take and share with Justin at the church, but found there weren’t any restaurants and ended up getting cold cuts and bag o’ salad at Smiths. Ugh.

We also went on a picnic in Rendija Canyon yesterday afternoon with several other families. It was very enjoyable, and the kids had a lot of fun running around and even having a small egg/candy hunt with their friends. Of the 6 families, I believe there were 16 kids. Caemlyn and Zephram were the oldest, but are good about playing with the younger ones and not complaining. We had such lovely spring weather, and ended up washing the cars when we got home since the suburban was covered with canyon dust that I knew would end up all over clean church clothes today if we didn’t.

In somewhat more exciting news, Tyghe is almost crawling. I figure he’ll have it down by the end of the week. I did get some nice progression pics of him “crawling” to his Easter basket during our little sunroom hunt this afternoon.

I think Tyghe enjoyed his first Easter. :)

    Everyone looks beautiful. The dresses are very cute with nice bright colors. Glad you had a fun time yesterday with some friends. Tyghe looks adorable goin for the basket, but mostly I am glad to see the sunroom is getting put to use again, other than for construction purposes!!

    Nice picture. Good lookin’ family! I look at your family and think, “Is mine that big too?” I look forward to more close ups of the dresses. My mom wasn’t very domestic but she did make me an Easter dress when I was little. Tyghe looks adorable next to his basket.

    You are so talented! My mom used to make dresses for us when we were little and we loved them!
    We’re planning to be in Yuba City this summer the end of July/beginning of August. Do you guys have any plans for a summer visit? It would be so fun to meet up!

    Hi Meg, your family is so cute and I can’t get over all your talents! Do you make dresses for other people?? You should contact my sis in law in White Rock, Heidi Cannon, she’s awesome! Thanks for the comment on my blog, Tom said he never wants to do rec management again because they work most when everyone else is off, plus I don’t think we can afford to live there…I love it though. :)
