As you can tell, I have quite the Easter each year! This year was no exception! In the collage with the yellow background, this just shows some of our Easter traditions. Multi-colored cupcakes with 'green' grass and eggs, colored eggs (and this year we used our own brown eggs~ they turned out beautiful! we even made one for Elder Crandall), sloppy joes for our picnic lunch, pistachio salad (one of my favorites! especially with the colored marshmellos!), dumping color dyes into the sink all at once, and of course... sharing the memories with family! I have such a wonderful family to share them with too!
This year was great! All of us went to the new ranch near Burley Idaho and had a blast~ despite the wind ;) We even had a small bon fire and practiced our target shooting skills (I'm still not that great...lol)
One of the fun parts of Spring is seeing all the new baby calves. It makes me appreciate new life and the change of seasons. It is so bright and sunny, just makes me happy and feel good inside.
I hope you all had a wonderful Easter and that you could spend it with family and friends. I also hope you have a wonderful Spring and Summer! I know I will be. My plans are very continuous and never ending... kinda the same thing I guess. At least I will be kept busy.
This spring I am attending Spring Term and also picking up a morning custodial job to bring in a little money... Just need to get to bed early now so I can get up to work in the early morning. But I can do it! That is my goal!
This summer I am working non-stop except for sleep, church, and hopefully a little bit of fun after work too ;) Also, I don't work Saturdays... so maybe I can get in some nature time on the ranch. I love being outdoors, especially with my Dad and brothers, not to mention Mom and sisters... I love being with them all! Being away at college has helped me appreciate them more. If I am not home talking to them, I am usually on the phone with one of the many blessing in my life. I love them all so much. Someday I hope to be as wonderful as my mom, so patient and loving in all things. I have a long ways to go, and am thankful to have such wonderful parents that have taught me what I know. I have so much because of their sacrifices and lessons they have taught me.
Well, this is the end of my little tangent. Not really a specific topic except for my gratitude to my heritage and my wonderful family. ♥♥♥ I love them all ♥♥♥
