We missed the actual egg rolling (and all the accompanying scorpions that hatched from the sand) but we got to color eggs at Grandma Grafs.
Zion National Park. My favorite park and the best place to spend Easter weekend.
At Upper Emerald Pool. We haven't been here in a long time.
Here's a picture of some of the approximately 80,000 people on the trail and in the park. Thank goodnes for the shuttles or parking and driving would have been a nightmare. My mom, dad, Rachel and I enjoyed a lovely lunch in the lodge (love the parks, love the lodges, love the food!) while waiting for the Angel's Landing hikers to return.
Speaking of Angel's Landing hikers...here they are.
I brought random Easter things down in a plain bag. Luckily my mom made it look cute. Without true believers, my motivation to go all out is gone.
We had a lovely Easter breakfast. Then left for Cedar where we had a lovely Easter lunch.
Random fact. Last October we went to Lava Hot Springs and bought a rug. Well here it is in all it's glory. I knew it would work with whatever we decided to put in our downstairs family room and it did! Now we just need window treatments, pictures framed, and some organization. This summer's goal.
Rachel turned 12 and is now in Young Women's. No more Primary programs with a Graf child in it. Sad.
Rachel's Primary teacher brought her banana cream pie because Rachel said that was her favorite treat. What an awesome Primary teacher--the whole family enjoyed this treat. However, in this picture, it looks like Rachel isn't going to share! Mine! All mine!
And finally....
Phish enjoys the fish that Krysta got as a white elephant over Christmas. She hasn't stuck her paw in but she loves to look.

Ok! Loved this catch up post and it showed me a great example of how I might catch up on my blog since I am so behind and need to get something up sooooon! Learned that soon trick from lisa;)
This was really fun to see all the events you posted about and I loved camille's comment above. I guess us moms don't know all that goes on in our homes.
By the way, thanks again for the awesome package you sent to Brandon. I know that took some effort in your busy busy schedule. Loving all these nephews in the field right now. Gods army!
