Birthday and Easter Weekend

                            

Caelin and my birthday fell on Good Friday this year and we spent the weekend in Thatcher with my parents and 4 of my sisters and 1 brother, and many nieces and nephews.  We had a great time.  Jeff and I started off my day with a trip to the Temple.  I couldn't have asked for anything more.

My cute niece Kristi made me a white chocolate raspberry cheesecake from scratch with homemade raspberry sauce.  It was so yummy! She is quite talented!
My cake!


Caelin's cake!





Caelin had a chocolate cake with vanilla frosting which I made (not from scratch).


Jeff got my windows tinted on my truck for my birthday. I am so excited with summer coming and all maybe it wont get quite so hot in there. :)

Then for Easter we had a little Easter Egg Hunt on Saturday with my sister Rocki and her two girls.  Jace was gone with his buddies Austin and Brittney so we had Jett and 4 girls.  Jeff, Brett, and Chayne hid the eggs and the hunting began.  It was fun to see the little kids faces light up when they saw an egg.  However it did take some coaxing to show them where to go.  Caelin was such a good sport and saved the low eggs in plain sight for the 2 and 3 year olds.  I think they had fun and it was a lot of fun to watch.

We also had time for a little riding out in the dust! It was dirty but it was fun to have so many of us out to ride.

It was a great weekend with family and celebrating the resurrection of Savior Jesus Christ. I have always loved Easter and this year was one of the best! I enjoyed the time with my sisters and brother and of course my amazing parents! I am truly blessed!

I get a kick that you are a truck driver. Seriously... load up kids and jump up we're going to Fry's :)

The cakes look delicious. Did you break down and actually eat them. Yum- how fun that you have a professional chef to prep your family treats.
