GOTTA LOVE DISNEYLAND

We're back or I should say I'm back. Daddy got some well needed rest after his trip to the hospital to have three more stints placed in the arteries to his heart. After I was assured that Jim was doing very well, I went gallivanting around Disneyland with Sydney, Bob, Shea, Nathan and Abby for four days.

The Keyes have a timeshare with Disney so we had an amazing suite at the Grand California Hotel. The room had a wonderfully stocked kitchen and a large dining area. We made breakfast every morning before heading off to the Magic Kingdom. We even made breakfast for Aunt Maxine, Uncle Jack and their daughter, Wendy with her whole family one morning. They were at Disneyland celebrating Little Jack's birthday.

A super fun time was taking Abby to "The Princess Dinner". Sydney and I savored every moment enjoying a wonderful dinner and watching Abby in her beautiful Cinderella dress mingle with all the Disney princesses. Of course the guys went to the Angels game.

We all went to an Angels' game on Saturday afternoon. They were clobbered by the New York Yankees.

Enjoy the pictures!

More Pictures Of Easter Fun

Easter With The Prophet!

It's always special when Easter falls on Conference weekend. Of course we don't get to dress up in our new Sunday outfits until next Sunday but we get to hear our sweet Prophet and Apostles over the whole weekend right from our televisions at home. After all Easter is about the love of our Christ! I was very uplifted by all the encouragement and I was inspired to try to be a better person. I'm thankful for the knowledge I have of the gospel and I'm truly grateful for a wonderful family to whom I adore. I have been blessed with a sweet life.

Of course Easter is filled with good food, Easter egg hunts, lots of laughter and chocolate found in the strangest places! I can't imagine life without all my amazing children, their spouses, grandchildren, my sweet sisters, nieces, nephews and choice friends.

The G-Kids Make Easter Treats 2010

Making Easter treats is a tradition with Granny Franny. This year we were inspired by a recipe Paula Deen prepared on her cooking show a few days ago. It's very close to a family favorite we make called "Potato candy". It's that exactly but she makes a ball and dips it in chocolate. You can't go wrong with that!

Drue was the master baker along with his assistants, Shea, Nathan and Abigail.

There is chocolate in Granny's house where chocolate should never be found!!!

Sydney, Bob and Rachel cheered us on and stuck a finger in here and there.

We shared a delicious taco dinner and had our decedent Easter creations for dessert.
