Easter Egg Hunt

Tonight we had our annual Easter Egg Hunt. We were so glad to have Ty, Trace, Jeff, Kelsey, Jenn, and their families all with us. The kids had a great time. They got to go to their little area where Papa hid their eggs. We are happy that even the big boys still like it. We have such a wonderful family. We are so blessed.

We grilled hamburgers and Jenn made some great beans. Of course, we had to have some sugar cookies to go with. Hope this is a nice week for everyone and you all enjoy the Easter weekend. It is such a special holiday. Love you all........

Fun with Lindsay, Morgan, and Maximus

What a great time we had with Lindsay and Morgan and Max! We were able to celebrate an early birthday with Max. I can hardly believe that he is going to be two years old. What a beautiful home Lindsay and Morgan have made in Glendale. They are doing such a great job with their cute little guy. Thanks for your hospitality! We really enjoyed sunning and shopping with you! Can't wait to get back there!!!

saying good bye......

This past week has been a very hard one for us. A week ago yesterday our dear sister, friend, mother, daughter, and wife left us. Pam Zundel ended her three year battle with cancer after living a life filled with service and love. She has been an amazing example of courage and optimism and faith. She will be greatly missed by everyone, especially her wonderful family. They served her so well and were taught by her til the very end. We were able to attend her funeral and hear many wonderful testimonies of her service to her fellow men. Craig did a wonderful job of teaching us about the plan of salvation and her children paid beautiful tribute to her today at a graveside service in Brigham City where she will rest. I believe that Pam has been close by these last few days and was so pleased with all that was said and done. Included are some lighter moments from the day.
