Easter vacation found us once again in Arizona where we enjoyed the Mesa Arizona Easter Pageant, Jesus the Christ. We never tire of this beautiful depiction of the Savior's life. Joining us were Jerel and family, Shad and family, and Janel and family. The rest of the week was spent in watching Trevor and Tanner play their baseball games, taking family photos of Shad & Jodi, eating together, watching Owen and Nya hunt easter eggs, visiting, taking a side trip to Apache Junction and just relaxing. I'm sorry I don't pictures of Ty, Janel, Jerel, & Camille. I messed up! We left Saturday morning and finished our week in Santa Monica with Lindy and family. Easter is one of my favorite times of the year and especially this year, the resurrection of our Lord is more significant than ever as we anticipate being with our Shannon Lovebug again.

And as someone famous and well loved always says, "We're having joy in our posterity."

I absolutely loved the pictures of the family. Time is no better spent than to spend it with children and grandchildren. There is something special about a beloved can of Campbell’s soup. What flavor of soup is that. Oh I bet I know "Celtics and Ham". I don't know they just come to me. Great times, making great memories, with a great family, in a great place. Yes I think it’s just great.

Family is the best. I was just telling Heavenly Father that the other day.
