But we still manage to find some wonderful times each week. We got to exercise our "grandparenting privileges" and keep Kaiya and Taylor one day. We spent 1/2 the day hiding and finding Easter eggs over and over and over again. It's pretty amazing how a 2 year old can endlessly repeat the same activity and still be as excited as the first time.
What's a stay at Grandma's without playing dress up. Somehow I don't think Taylor quite gets the reason for struggling into clothes that are scratchy and then just sitting there!! Kaiya does relish in her royalty.
And nothing better than listening to Grandpa's stories and digging in the "bean drawer" for secret treasures there.
Easter that falls on General Conference weekend is absolutely the BEST! It was a marvelous occasion to spend 2 days reflecting on the tender mercies of our Savior and his Atoning sacrifice as we listened to prophets and apostles counsel us on relevant issues we deal with in our lives. Such a refuge of peace in the troubled world we live in. Now to follow the challenge of our prophet to
"make the messages of this conference find expression in our actions."
It is so great to be a place in life when I can spend a day with one of my beautiful children at will. Brittany and I had a fun and chatty lunch/afternoon together laughing and loving (and enjoying Cafe Rio). It was so nice to be removed from distractions and share these special moments together.
And of course who could not be HAPPY with Mr. Smily-britches Nahlu and his chubby little snuggles.
Life is so incredibly good--I want to savor each moment.

Who could imagine...we're that old? Sorry about the mix in weather. We are heating up here in Leon.......con amor!
That picture of Taylor just kills me! I know the girls had a blast with you guys -- all Kaiya could talk about were the beans! What lucky kids we have to be able to have so much quality time with their grandparents. We so appreciate the efforts you make to help them all feel so special. We love you!
Oh, Diane! your grandkids are all so cute. The newest baby of Britt's has got those huge killer eyes! What a doll he is. I am jealous that you get so much time with them. I miss mine like crazy! You look so happy, too! Yes, life is incredibly good.
