Easter

I told Kono to smile and this is the pose he made. That silly boy!
Cute picture but that wet spot on his vest ruins it. He just so happened to spill his drink on himself right before pictures. Too bad I don't have photo shop. I also didn't have a tie for him and his pants were wrinkled, too long, and his shirt not properly tucked in. Oh well, there's always a next time and besides, his adorable face and smile makes everything better.
I am so lucky to be so adored by my son and to have him as my own.
Me and my two boys :)
Kono loves to take pictures with his Daddy. I think he looks cute the way he is looking at Granite.
Kono and Granite in their Sunday best.
This is the face they both made when I told them to look up and smile. Isn't it funny that it's the same?
Nahoa and Kono were sooo excited to start hunting for the eggs.
Last year, Kono really didn't hunt that well. He would get distracted and be slow about it. This year, he knew exactly what to do and was so quick about it.
Kono and his shy smile (he bites his bottom lip). The boys are all done hunting.
Kono was so pleased with all the eggs he found.
Not a good picture of me, but here is my growing belly. I even think it's huge. More pics to come soon.
The boys kept wanting to get into the cake. Pebbles made this cute cake. She was going to make it into a basket (with a Red Vine handle and a basket decoration) but decided that the taste was more important than the looks, since most of us aren't frosting fans. It was a yummy chocolate strawberry cake.
Kono getting ready to eat Jello eggs.
It's alot more fun to eat Jello when you can hold it!
Kono loves to make things for his Daddy.
This year was Kono's first time decorating eggs since he is old enough. He thought it was so cool.
We made it through with a couple of spills. I hadn't dyed eggs in the longest time, it was fun for me too.
All done! Kono applauding himself. :)

We had a great Easter. Granite and I both spoke in sacrament meeting on Easter. Preparing for the talk and speaking really made me ponder upon all the blessings that we are given because of Jesus Christ. I really tried to ephasize that though we are all going to be given the free gift of resurrection where everyone's spirits will be reunited with their physical bodies in perfect form, we will not have a "perfect" spirit if we don't use the Atonement properly in our lives and follow Christ throughout our lives. I am deeply grateful for what I consider are the two greatest things within the gospel- the Atonement and the gift of the Resurrection.
