6 Deans + a Dog

We went skiing one last time as a family over spring break!  Look at the lack of snow on that mountain! :)  It was fun skiing together and enjoying the warm weather and slushy snow!!!

 Easter was on conference Sunday this year so it was kind of weird not going to church!  It was sure nice getting to hang out at home and watch conference together though!  The kids found their Easter baskets and a few eggs that were hidden.  Our Easter bunny is getting smart... the eggs were all filled with coins and cash this year instead of candy!  It is nice for the kids to have some spending $ so they don't always ask us for $ when they go out!  Who am I kidding...I'm sure they will still be asking us for $...but we can only hope :) We went to Judy and Rogers for dinner and another egg hunt!  It was a great day!!! I am so grateful that BECAUSE OF OUR SAVIOR I get to be with these people FOREVER!!!  We sure are blessed!!!

 

 We spent 3 days and 2 nights of our spring break at the Nelson cabin with Brett, Sairah and Alex,  Jed, Mandy and their kids and my parents (for dinner one night).  The weather was absolutely amazing!  I can't ever remember going this early in the season and driving the car right up to the cabin.  Since there was no snow we did lots of off roading on the 4wheelers, fat cat and rhino.  It sure  makes going on rides fun when you can fit 12 people on the machines and all caravan together.  It was so funny to see how dusty every ones clothes and faces got :) We played lots of games and as always ate lots of crap!  The cabin is such a happy place for me!  I love it when we get to go and I love it even more when I get to spend time with our family up there!  Thanks Mom and Dad for having a place that we can all bond together!!!  

 

 

 

 

 

 Thanks to my little sister Melanie we got tickets to go to the General Women's conference session at the conference center!  It was such a great meeting and so fun to be there with my sisters, sister inlaw, mom, nieces and my two girls!  Ahhh this church just brings me so much joy and happiness!  Doing righteous things together as a family just makes me happy!!! :) The conference talks for this session were all around the importance of families!  I am so grateful to be a part of two active families!  The gospel is such an important part in our lives and I know Mike and I couldn't raise these righteous, confident, spiritual, courageous, amazing and talented kids without its influence!  We are so grateful for the opportunities the gospel gives us to serve others and help us grow and become better people!  ~~LIFE IS GOOD~~
