Happy Easter!!!

I know I'm a little slow getting this up, but I figured better late than never.  Here's an update from the last week of March.

 

Tuesday, March 26th--We had our Relief Society Birthday Dinner.  We had a pretty good turnout.  Our theme was on Finding Faith through our Trials.  We had a potluck dinner of soup, salads and rolls.  We put the cake on the tables so they were ready whenever the sisters where so we could move on with our program.  We had three sisters talk about an experience they’ve had that strengthened their faith, and then I spoke for a few minutes and our Branch President.  It was a great meeting and I felt those who attended were strengthened and uplifted.

Since Friday was Good Friday I decided to take Thursday off as well so we could go up to my parents’ house for Easter.  Steve’s friend Zach Hannay wanted to come up to the farm to get away and shoot his guns, so he can as well.  We borrowed Steve’s parents’ car since it was a little bigger so we could have a little more room for a trip.  It was nice to have more room (Thanks Dave and Joann we really appreciated it!)  We got up there in a descent amount of time though we did have to stop a couple times to feed Nyles.  As soon as we got up there Steve and Zach were ready to go out and shoot something ;)  Nyles was glad to be out of the car and his car seat, as was I.

The next morning they went out and shot rabbits then went over to a neighbor’s field and shot Rockchucks.  Nyles and I went over and visited Grandma Hegerhorst for a while.  Daron and his family came over that night to visit.  We had dinner then played some games.  Pauline, Chris, Charlotte and Rose showed up later that evening.  They left after Chris got off work and Rose dropped off the girls to Jared.  Pauline surprised us w/ some exciting news.  She had Charlotte wearing a shirt which said “Big Sister Charlotte.”  She’s due end of October; we’re all really excited for her!

Saturday morning the boys went out hunting again.  I stayed home because Nyles needed to take a nap, but everyone else went to the Bruneau Elementary School for their Annual Easter Egg Hunt.  Barbara and Anna and their kids met everyone else at the school.  After they got back we visited a while until it was time for lunch.  We all met in my dad’s shop so we could be out of the wind.  We had a good turnout.  We then hid some candy around the house and shop/machinery and let the kids find it.

Afterwards we visited some more.  We went over to Grandma Hegerhorst’s to visit Corinne and Kris’ families.  We then went over to the Dairy.  After dinner Corinne and Diana came back over and we played a few games while the guys went out hunting again.  It was nice seeing everyone.

The next morning we were planning to go to church but I wasn’t feeling well and we wanted to get Zach back in time for his family dinner, so we decided to leave.  We actually made really good time.  Nyles did a lot better coming back home.  Steve’s family was also getting together so we hurried and unpacked and went over for an hour or so.
