Temple Building

We recently found a blog called Build In Holy Places. Dallin loved looking at it. Since Legos are really the only toys he plays with anymore, I told him we could save up for bunch of white Legos and we could build some temples. He informed me we didn't need the "right" Legos to build a temple and he wanted to try anyway. We picked a temple that wasn't all white so we could use colored blocks as the bricks. I helped him separate the bricks by sizes and colors and helped place the pillars. He did the rest. I am particularly impressed with Angel Moroni. He built it all on his own. He also insisted on lots of trees out from. That is what the tall colorful pillars are, tree trunks.

Easter

Well, I've been a slacker. I don't know why I don't get around to blogging more. Maybe it is because nothing all that special has happened lately, but looking back I usually just blogged regular, everyday stuff before, so I don't know what the excuse it. Weather? Let's go with that. 

I don't know if anyone checks this blog anymore, especially now that google reader is going away. (Anyone else sad as I am about that???)  I am trying to get used to Blog Lovin, but it is just not the same. Anyway....to the post.

Easter. Here are some photos from Easter time. 

Easter Egg Dying

A friend invited us to an Easter Egg Hunt at their church. It was nice. It is a very small church and she was related to about 90% of the people who came. Dallin was really shy at first but had a good time. They had an egg hunt, prizes, flew kites, and roasted hotdogs and marshmallows. It was a fun group of people to spend Good Friday with.

 Fun gifts from Dallin's adoptive grandmas and grandpas. They are just so sweet to Dallin.

Easter Morning. I think the Easter Bunny went a little overboard this year. Even D said he got too much. The problem is the Easter Bunny finds good deals on things, and next thing you know he has spent $25 and has a full basket. Oh well. He won't get any other gifts till his birthday, so I guess he can enjoy it.

Sunday morning we made Resurrection Rolls. We have done this before. it was nice since usually we are pulling D out of bed at 7:30 am Sunday mornings in order to get to church in time for Russ's meetings at 8:30. (He gets dressed/brushes teeth/etc at church once we get there.) Since Easter was a 5th Sunday, no early morning meetings. We didn't have to leave till 9. It was great. Ironically, we were late for church that morning. Go figure.

Easter Clothes. So handsome.

I'll try to be better with posting, even if it is boring stuff :)
