Over Conference weekend, April 4th, we went down to Utah to spend time with family and friends. We all got Iceburg ice cream, the best ever!! Friday night Kristofer and I went with my parents to my father's 30 year mission reunion. It was pretty cool, all 15 mission presidents were there (minus 2 because they are dead, but their wives were there). I even got to meet some of his companions and hear there stories. I though it was fun!

Then on Saturday we met up with Ashley and her kids and Kimmy too. We all went to Gardner's Village or as we have always called it "the Old Mill." It was so much fun! Kimmy and I got star glitter put on our faces, we got fudge, played with the nieces, went to lunch, and got to SHOP!!! What a grand time.









Sunday we watched conference, and then went to a family gathering at my Aunt Diana's home. It is so nice to around family. Then we headed back to Rexburg for finals week.

This was the most exciting day for Kristofer!! He finally got his wii from work. At Melaleuca he receives 50 loyalty pays every month he works there (if he doesn't miss a day). A wii cost 400 points. This is the last month they are giving out wii's, because they are too hard to get. But Kristofer got his. Now the fun begins, where he NEVER gets off, even for bed. Wish me luck, with this new love of his.

Easter Sunday was great! I thought it was going to be lame, because I am not with my family and there were no kids to watch hunt for eggs. I was really just missing the nieces and nephew and my family. But I was mistaken, because we had a blast!! I made my first ham, and it was AMAZING!! (thanks, Jill) Jill's ham glaze was the perfect touch! We had Melissa, Melanie, Lee, and Angie over, with a perfect Easter feast.

After dinner our next door neighbors invited us to watch their kids search for eggs. It was so cute and a perfect ending to the day!

My mom always made Bunny cakes growing up. I can still remember watching her make cakes by cakes. Fridays are Melissa, Melanie, and mine new bake date. :) Last Friday was the eclairs, this Friday was my choice and since it is Easter weekend, I thought why not bring a bit of home to Rexburg.

We had a bit of adventure, I wont go into that detail. It was so much fun and now I have cute Bunny cakes and I feel as if I have my family close around me. Thanks mom, for being such an amazing mom. For always being involved in our lives and for being so creative and crafty. It is all the thoughts of kindness you show to others (including us) that rubs off to your children (us). Thanks for that example. Even though I made my first Bunny cake, I would have given it up to spend this Holiday with you! Miss you!

I Hope Everyone Has A Wonderful Easter From the West Coast to the East Coast to all over the World!! :)

Ok, so as I was eating the the last bowl of Kristofer's favorite soup at Olive Garden, I realized I hadn't taken a picture. :)

Kristofer really likes Toscana Soup. And if you don't know we have (shhh) secret recipes. Kristofer made this soup, without the Olive Garden $PRICE$. YAY! It was so amazing, if you go to Olive Garden I recommend that you try it. If you really want to make it, let me know. I am not going to post it. ;) It is a bit spicy, but so delicioso.



This picture to the right is of Olive Garden's Pasta e Fagloli...
Mi FAVORITO!!! The only thing different is I accidentally add too much beef and I didn't have ditali noodles. This too is amazing!



No more Olive Garden for us any more, because we even have the salad dressing recipe!! :)
