Spring all around!!

I was so excited to go home for conference weekend. Weston happened to have work there that week so it worked out perfect. I was able to go to the Portland temple visitor center for the first time. It was fun seeing the prophet so up close and playing interactive games about temples all over the world! Then we walked around the temple. A highlight for me!!

This tree looked like it was glowing! I loved it!!!

I loved walking around the portland temple. It was absouletly stunning, and beautiful. The temple was closed for Conference so there was nobody there walking around or in and out of the temple. It was so peaceful. Just my kids and my mom and dad. I had so much fun watching my kids run around and taking it all in. The spirit surrounding the temple was so strong. It was a wonderful time to be there and be grateful for our blessings, and pray and yearn for others.

On our way home we stopped at multnomah falls. Gorgeous! We had a great time in Oregon. We went to parks, fed the ducks and had a picnic, had the famous jelly bean hunt with grandma, and stayed up way too late every night eating ice cream and talking. The kids were even lucky enough to have a sleepover with Aunt Stacey and Uncle Jason. Spring was blossoming everywhere in Oregon and it was fun to see some spring!! When we got home we were so glad to have some spring weather of our own. So...... this morning we headed over to our park to have an easter egg hunt!

I said on your mark get set go and this girl took this easter egg hunt very seriously. She was off and running!!!

I hid 30 eggs. The kids found 29. We searched and searched. Number 30 didn't show up. Haylee wanted to do it again, so I hid 29 eggs all over the park again. This time we found 27!! We searched and searched even harder this time. Nothing. I didn't hide the eggs that hard. I'm pretty sure a squirrel was walking off with our easter eggs!! No one else was in sight the whole time we were there. I'm still very confused how we lost 3 eggs. But we had a great time anyway. We love spring and Easter around here!!!
