Easter Weekend







We had a great time in Mesa, working with Tim on his new home, spending time with Grandma Reed, attending the Easter Pageant at the temple, going to Church with Grandpa and visiting on Sunday afternoon with Tim and Cindy and their adorable kids. The weather was so wonderful and warm. The Easter bunny even found the girls!

Saying good-bye to JoAnn

Mark's cousin, C.H. Packer, lives in Taylor and is the closest relative we have up here. His wife, JoAnn passed away last week and we went to the funeral. They were a wonderful couple and such a strong support to the local community.

I loved this picture of C.H. Packer and his wife, JoAnn. She had Alzheimer's the past 6 or 7 years and he took such good care of her.

JoAnn Packer as the young woman C.H. fell in love with. He remarked that he couldn't believe someone so cute could like him, so he grabbed her up.

Some flowers we ordered for the funeral, I thought they turned out so pretty.

Still bloomin'

Snowy Spring!


Our crab apple tree started blooming a couple days ago. I hope it doesn't freeze tonight. We'll be sad. We usually get to enjoy the blossoms about two weeks. Freaky spring snowfall today...really coming down hard. So pretty though!


Speaking of pretty...found this cute bedspread at WalMart today and Calla really liked it. A finishing touch was that we finally hung up some alphabet letters that Jenelle painted for Calla for her birthday. Way cute!
It was so much fun to get re-acquainted with Connor and Kamri during our quick trip to Mesa during General Conference weekend. They are growing and discovering the fascinating world around them. They are so cute. We love you!
