Easter Fun

Easter was great this year. Although we missed out on family conference time in Provo (because Sarah was sick...it was sad), we were still able to still have a really nice, relaxing, uplifting day.

Our day started with some yummy cinnamon rolls. (This has kind of become a tradition for us.....a not so healthy but worth it as a special conference treat splurge that I look forward to)


Then Sarah had a fun Easter egg hunt because the Easter bunny had visited our home.
   
Then our day continued by watching LDS General Conference on TV. I love to hear our modern day prophet and apostles. I always feel a renewed energy to be better when I hear general conference. It gives me a good uplift. It seemed like a lot of the talks were about women nurturing the children in the home and men using their priesthood righteously in their home. It was a great conference and I loved the talks. They were powerful. Anyone who missed out should definitely hit up LDS.org and go to the general conference archives. I loved them all, but a few of my favorites were President Eyring, Elder Holland, and Elder Ballard.
   

After both sessions of conference we had Easter dinner. This is the first Easter dinner I have cooked all by myself and it was scrumdiddlyumpscious, if I do say so myself. :)

  
  
   
  
There were rolls too to go with the jam. :)

Following dinner we decided to die some Easter eggs. It was fun!
 
The above speckled egg is Tyler's favorite egg he made.
 
Sarah made this really cool speckled pink egg. It was her favorite one.

These two were the best ones I made. I know, I know, not quite as cool as Sarah or Tyler's...they've got mad skills....but hey--I still like mine too! :)

After such a good day we were all tuckered out, and our beautiful Easter ended with this:

Sarah's Easter Dress and pink Chuck Taylors

Katie and Sarah came to work to visit me the other day so I could spend some time with Sarah in the studio. We just got a new white background and I was excited to use it. It was so much fun, and we got some great photos. You can find them all on flickr and I will put a few highlights here. She got a new dress from Grams for Easter (and one from Grandma, but we couldn't find a good white jacket in time for the photo shoot, why do all cute little girl dresses h5ave to be sleeveless) and she also just got some new pink Chuck Taylors so we did a few wardrobe changes.

it was really cute, Sarah was super scared of the background. It is a big white piece of vinyl and it was impossible to tell the difference between the wall and the floor. Sarah could not tell where she could stand and was scared she was going to fall through. Once she took some with Katie she started to feel a lot more comfortable.

Here are a few of the favorites

This is when Sarah was too scared to be alone on the background.

This is Sarah shaking her booty - pretty cute :)

Sarah's dress a little closer up, and a cute smile ;)

Sarah was still a little scared, so Katie held her for a little while, and she gave me a really cute smile. I love my girls!

Cutest kid EVER!

Sarah decided to lay down, it was super cute, then she said she was going to close her eyes and go to sleep. This is how she closes her eyes. when I tell her to close her eyes and go to sleep she always says, "But that's tricky" now that I can see her in the light I can see why it is tricky, I don't think that would help me fall asleep either.

She loves to make funny faces

she ran over and sat next to mom along the wall. Turned out pretty good.

Katie took some pictures too, and some great ones, Katie was shooting and I told Sarah to do this. I love it, my favorite from the whole shoot.

This was her pose, she put her hands in her pocket, she did the sideways foot thing. ADORABLE!

cutest shoes ever.

well that was it, sorry I posted soooooo many photos. There were 245 to choose from and I skipped at least 30 more I wanted to post as well. I love my little girl and I am so glad I am able to capture these cute memories.
