Our BUSY Easter Weekend...

We had a very busy Easter weekend. It actually started on Wednesday when we took our young women to the Easter pageant. I hadn't been to the pageant in years so I was just as excited (if not more) to go as the girls. Here are some of us eating at Sonic before the "main event"...

Here are the "crazy" girls at the pageant waiting for the show to start...

I just have to note how much I LOVE all of my young women. This night was my official last mutual with them. I was released and am now the Primary president of our ward. I'm scared to death and intimidated by those little kids but I'm also very excited and anxious to grow to love them just as much as I love my young women. I'm going to miss those girls sooo much but I know that I have a new "mission" in this ward and that is to help these little children grow closer to their Savior. I can't wait!

The busy-ness continued on Friday when Kylee and I dyed some Easter eggs. We have a very fun traditional egg-cracking game that we play with both sides of the family, so Kylee and I had over 3 dozen eggs to dye this day. Kylee did a great job helping me!

*
Saturday was the Montez party so we made the long drive out to the West valley. After 1 traffic jam due to construction and another traffic jam due to an accident, AND then running out of gas and having to stop once again to fill up, it made for a LONG drive and we got a little stir crazy! Kylee took this picture below of me....

*
Kylee also took this picture of David as he was filling up the car. This is his "mean" Officer Pew look!

*
We finally arrived at my parent's house 45 minutes late, but it was worth it in the end because we had a lot of fun! Here is Kylee in her hunt for candy filled eggs!!! One was even filled with a $5 bill!!!! The Easter Bunny is VERY nice!

All the Montez grandkids!!

These next couple pictures are from Easter morning before church. Here is Kylee's cute Easter outfit...

*
And our attempt of setting the timer on my camera and taking a family picture. Awe....so cute!

*
This was just a very cute picture that I took of Kylee and David while testing out the timer on the camera. I love how Kylee is hugging David's leg! So precious!

*
*
That night was the Oram-Pew Easter party at Becky's. We had so much fun that night too. Obviously there are a "few" more grandkids on David's side of the family! Here is the grandkids photo...

We feel so blessed to have 2 amazing families! Kylee has the best cousins ever! She never has to feel like an only child because she always has cousins to play with everyday. We love all our family members so much and feel like the luckiest little family ever! I hope you all had a wonderful Easter weekend!!!

I knew when they released you that you would be the president. That's why I looked back at you. Because I knew you would be the perfect person for the job. The kids will LOVE you! All though Gaige is pretty sad to have Beth leave him as a teacher he has said it a few times that he misses Sister Jackson.
