Here comes Peter Cottentail!

We had a wonderful Easter this year. We are so blessed to be surrounded by such wonderful family and friends, we are so thankful for them and all that they do for us. We are also very grateful for those of our family who are far away, we love you all very much!!! We went to the Easter Pageant at the Mesa Temple, it is such an awesome production. The feeling that you get there can't be explained, it's just amazing. We are so thankful for our Saviour and the sacrifice he made for us so that we can return to live with him and our Heavenly Father again, there is nothing that we want more than to return to them above and to be with our families forever, an Eternal Family!!! I KNOW THAT MY REDEEMER LIVES!!!
Rebecca and Rocky both talked in Sacrament meeting on Easter Sunday and did a terrific job. After church we ate dinner at my Dads and then had an Easter egg hunt for the kids. Being with family that loves you is the best and we couldn't have asked for better. The Faucette's and Coleman's are the BEST!!!

Jeron searching for some more eggs. He got the $10 egg and Chandler and Dallin both got a $5 egg.

WOW, what a trip!!!

On spring break we went to Oklahoma, Missouri and Arkansas, it was a long 7 days. We first went to Oklahoma to see Phillip and Sirena and to be there for Lilyana's blessing. It was good to see them again. While there we got to see Christopher play in a soccer game, go bowling and listen to Phillip and Sirena talk in Sacrament meeting. The boys had a great time playing with KyliAnna and Christopher, they miss them so much! Next we headed to Missouri to see Brian's Nana and on the way there we found out she was in the hospital ill. We still got to see her though, we went to see her in the hospital at least twice a day. We also got to have a quick visit with Aunt Marilynn and Uncle Don, their doing real well. We had fun getting to visit with Matt, Aunt Carla, Nana, Aunt Karen, Laura, Rhonda and her husband, we hadn't seen them in over 3 years. We had to go to Bass Pro Shop of course, that is just a tradition we have to do when there (even though there is a Bass Pro only a little over a hour away from us now and probably just a big). Aunt Carla spoiled the boys as usual. After a couple of days there and a tearful goodbye we headed to Arkansas. We went to Fayetteville first to see Lisa and Mike and have lunch at their restaurant Steak n Shake (it was soooo good). We visited with them for about 2 hours and then went to see where Phillip and Sirena will be moving to in May a town called Alma. Then started our 2 day trip home. It was so good to see everyone though.

Me and Lilyana. She's so adorable!!!
Jeron and Lilyana. He loves holding babies.

HaPpY BiRtHdAy to me!!! I'm 33!!! March 13th!

My Mom and Sisters took me out for lunch on my Birthday. We had so much fun reminiscing, making funny faces and giggling. The people at the restaurant probably thought we were crazy!!! My sweet mom and me!
The beautiful flowers Brian got for me, I loved them!
Brian and the boys cleaned the house for me that day for my Birthday present. I couldn't have asked for a better husband or children. I Love them so much!!!
My present from Pam and Jimmy, they are such good friends. Jimmy made me a key holder that says Coleman and is shaped like a big key. It's so neat!
Time to blow out the candles. We had a BBQ that night with family and friends and played games. It was so fun, my family and friends are AWESOME!!!
