So Easter came and went, along with my flowers that were trying to grow. I must have yelled at every kid at least three times to stay off of my flowers. They weren't all flattened, but maybe they'll bloom next year.I also dyed eggs with Erick and Sarah, that's my favorite part!


It was fun though. We had everyone here, and it was really good to see how huge my family has gotten. We're ready to start our own family reunion.

Too bad some of us live expensive-plane-tickets away. My grandmother also died a year ago, so we were able to go to the temple and get her work done for her. My mom is so excited to have had her parents sealed together and be sealed to them. I would be too!

So, we made a decision a while back not to watch rated R movies. And we just watched an awesome rated R movie, but we had ClearPlay, which is a DVD device that filters out the bad stuff. It is my compromise with Adam, and it has been going pretty well. Although I have a friend who says that she has a problem with supporting rated R films, but that's why I don't go and watch them in the theater. I figured I was actually supporting the person that cared enough to try to "clean"up movies. I really don't miss all the blood/violence, bad language, and nudity. In fact, I'm so glad that I did not have to watch Steve Martin make out with Claire Danes, who really wants to see that? Besides him and he wrote the film. By the way it is not the movie that we watched tonight.

Okay, I need some suggestions. Even though some may not know my mother-in-law, and even if you know who she is, you still may not know her, but her birthday is coming up. Like, next Wednesday! I want to shy away from the usual rooster present or earrings that she usually gets. She likes the outdoors, but then again, she gets a manicure regularly. She has a garden and some dogs and new baby chicks. She owns a loom and has woven rugs. And so if you have any suggestions- hurry, I don't have much time.
