Easter...

We managed to get our annual Easter egg hunt done in between sessions of conference this year.  It is always fun to get together with family but we missed Vaughn and Barbara's family this year alot of them went to Utah for conference.  It is so weird that I don't have any kids that hunt eggs but Brady had fun hiding them this year.  After our picnic Kacie and I went to get Brandon for the night.

We were happy to have Brandon home with us for Easter.  To be perfectly honest it wasn't one of our better visits so we took him home after the Sunday morning session of conference.  As a mother it is so hard when you can't connect with your child.  We will just cherish the happy moments when we get a glimpse of our old son and pray we will be worthy to see the day when his is whole again. 

After we got back we had a little Easter dinner with Mom and Dad plus Valeda, Melissa, Teniele and her boys.  We then played a few games which was nice.  During conference they announced a couple of big changes.  The first being that they will discontinue the High Priest Quorum and will have just one Elder's Quorum with all the priesthood combined.  The second change is that there is no longer any visiting or home teaching but rather ministering.  Everyone seemed to be pretty happy with the changes.  It was also pretty cool to be able to sustain our new prophet  President Russell M. Nelson.
