Easter

It felt so nice to be out and about this week!  I quarantined myself last week from basically everybody while I was sick.  Even Zach created a barricade of pillows around me while we slept at night.  So glad that’s over with.  Luckily Because of the holiday we were able to spend lots of time with family and friends!

Zach and I went on a double date with our friends Whit and Tyler – including their son Maddox.  The love of my life, this child.  If my children could be as sweet and good as this little guy…

Ty and Whit will be having their second little guy in three months!  It’s a strange feeling for your friends to have babies…but even crazier when your friends have their second and THIRD child!  I love watching my closest friends become mothers.

I finally got some exercise this week – which was long overdue.  I even took another hip-hop class and brought my friend Whitney along.

We also are actively working on our yard [both front and back] for spring.  We hope to complete the landscaping in our back yard this season – we can’t wait!

At work I have been spending the majority of my time working on a new Proactiv mall kiosk.  It’s going really well [possibly the biggest job our company has ever had] and they sent me a lovely package in the mail this week:  over a year supply of Proactiv swag.  This picture doesn’t do it justice…there are two more towers of the stuff.

I am trying a new Spring Cleaning challenge – thank you Pinterest!  [There are technically only 34 items on my list, some of Pinterest’s suggestions didn’t apply to Zach and I].  Obviously the easiest ones I checked off my list first.  It’s going well, so far…

This weekend Zach and I finally got to visit our brand new nephew, Clark!  He is grandchild number 23 in the Henderson family.  Zach’s brother Chad and our sister-in-law Rachael had this beautiful babe last Monday and he couldn’t be more perfect.

When we left their home, Zach said to me “I liked that baby, he was nice.”  The baby slept the whole time, so I’m pretty sure that’s one of the many reasons he liked Clark so much.

After we had a date at Tona, again…we both are obsessed with the garlic edamame.

After dinner we met up with Zach’s dad at their Ogden hangar to check out some aircraft.  Zach was in heaven.

We ended our Friday night at the latest possible showing of the Host in Bountiful.  A very…unique movie – we both agreed.

Saturday was spent at [wait for it] Zach’s cousin’s wife’s baby shower.  It was fun to see family and visit.  After the shower my mother-in-law and I conveniently stopped at Nordstrom on the way home…because it was on the way home, ya know?  Zach was at the Spring Mobile park watching the Mariners play with my brother, so he didn’t miss me at all.

Later we met up for some Easter shopping [I don’t pick out too many of Zach’s clothes these days, he is getting picky in his old age] and dinner at Rodizio Grill.

We drove around the valley looking at landscaping, trying to hunt down my dream modern home [no luck, but we’re giving it another go later this week], and stopped at Sweet Tooth Fairy for some treats.

Sunday morning I made Zach ‘hunt’ for our Easter gear.  I promise the Panama hat is mine, Zach wouldn’t be caught dead in a hat that wasn’t sports affiliated.

Then we were off to church in our duds.  This is the best photo I could get of the two of us while using the self timer app on my iPhone.  All well…

This year the Hendersons decided to celebrate Easter a week later so we could all celebrate with our other sides of our families over the holiday.  Hence no bunny suit this weekend…but it’s definitely coming.

We spent Easter at my parents’ house – where we discovered the Easter Bunny had left us stadium chairs and delicious caramel-filled eggs.

We had tri tip, homemade rolls, pasta salad, and fresh fruit for dinner.

I made Cadbury Cake for dessert – which nearly sent my relatives into a sugar coma.  Sorry guys, it didn’t phase me at all.

We are excited to celebrate Easter next weekend with the Hendersons and get a visit from EB.

We are both so grateful for our loved ones and for our Savior.  We both feel so blessed to have such wonderful families and the gospel in our lives.  Hope you all had a bomb Easter!
