Easter weekend was very relaxing since it was also
General Conference weekend. I love my calling but I have to admit all week I was very excited to have Sunday off from church! I love being able to listen and regroup in a sense, my priorities and goals in life. With it being spring, General Conference, warm weather...it's a perfect time to take a breath of fresh air of motivation. Easter is a special time for Jordan and I as we reflect on the Resurrection and what that means for us. Because of
Him we are able to return back to our Sweet Madison and that is a breath of fresh air by itself. I think I have mentioned this before, but when I find myself thinking of Maddie and the accident and that day I have noticed my body will automatically take a deep breath, every time without fail, almost telling myself to calm down and go somewhere else. As time has passed I don't take those deep breaths as often and the reason for that is being able to understand the "big picture" for my family and Maddie. Easter is a special day and we are excited to teach Drake more about Madison as he grows. I am humbled by the Resurrection and truly believe
Christ lives.
This was the week before Easter in our Easter attire for church.

Between sessions of Conference we went and spent sometime at the cemetery and then found this field of fluorescent yellow flowers.

It was beautiful!

After Conference we went over to Wendy and Derek's as tradition now, with the Gardner's and had a delicious Easter dinner. After dinner the kids had a fun time doing an Easter egg hunt. Drake was pretty oblivious but still had fun chasing Norah and Jackson around!

After a fun filled day Drake had to sport his "Hoppy Easter" pjs to bed. What a hunk!

Beautiful! (Love your dress and love the yellow field!) As always, thank you for your example of faith and fortitude.
My sister just moved to Austin for the summer (her husband manages for APX) and we looked up their address and think they are in your ward! They are only 5 miles south of you on Hidden Valley drive in some apartments? Does that sound familiar? I told her she'll love you. :)
Those pictures of the flowers are so great! WOW! Love the one of Drake with his cheesy grin and Jordy and Drake posing in front of the yellow field. So cute. And Marlo, you are just beautiful!!
