EASTER WEEKEND

We headed out this morning bright and early to our first Egg Hunt ever. The Bishop hosted it at his house and tons of kids came. We went yesterday to the dollar store to buy a bucket for her eggs and she found a pair of red sunglasses that she wouldn't take off so I bought them for her too. I cannot stop smiling when I see her in the pictures. She wore them the whole party and looked too cool. Dr. Jones, Stephen's boss and our stake president, was there with his youngest and invited us over to their house after the first session of conference to meet their new baby horse that was born a couple weeks ago. I don't even know how to describe how amazing and special their land is. They live on 300 acres of land and it feels like another planet. They own about 30 horses. Seeing them run through the fields of grass is a sight for sour eyes. I felt like I just wanted to stay there forever. The baby horse was the cutest thing ever.  I loved touching him and didn't care about washing my hands after, and if you know me that is a HUGE step. If we ever can, Isabella and I have decided we want horses. Isabella would add second to a dog though. Because she got to meet the coolest dog ever. I will let the picture speak for itself. We also got to go horseback riding. Sadly our phones were dead by then so no pictures but just imagine us giddy with excitement on top of a horse. Isabella had ridden before but very slowly and today we got to gallop and she just laughed with excitement. She loved how it made her jump up and down and loved touching his hair and neck as we rode down the trail. It was Stephen's first time ridding and he did really good. We squeezed in another session of conference after that and now Stephen is at priesthood session. I am really proud of Stephen because the Final Four starts tonight but he didn't even hesitate about going to his session. I know how much he loves basketball but I am really proud of him for choosing to hear those messages that will make him into a better man.

What a day huh? Our days are usually pretty normal and chill so it was so fun to do some things outside our routine and spend time as a family. But of all those things conference was what I needed the most. The messages were so inspired and answered many of my personal questions I have been pondering lately. The world is so wonderful and everywhere we go there are so many different ways to enjoy life. I never want to forget to be grateful for all the experiences Heavenly Father allows us to have.
