A couple of weekends ago our local elementary school put on a 5K to raise money for the school. Salomon and my Dad participated in it and both did really well. Salomon rocked it by coming in 6th place and my Dad finished the whole thing without walking (of which he thought he might have to do) and both had great times! Way to go guys!!

Latino America Event
Salomon's parents were involved in putting together and participating in an event put on by their church branch to help those in their stake and community learn more about the Latin cultures. It was a wonderful event full of dances, music, exhibits and food from the different Latin countries. It was well done, a lot of fun, and the food was amazing!! And of course there was dancing afterwards. Great time had by all!!
Dances from Mexico and Chile

Having a good time- Liane turned into quite the dancing queen by the end of the night!
Easter Sunday - Temple Square
We started a tradition with Salomon's family of meeting at Temple Square inbetween conference sessions on Sunday for lunch. We all pack food, bring it to the eating area in the Joseph Smith Memorial Building (located on the bottom floor) and enjoy lunch together. This year General Conference landed on Easter weekend so it was an extra special day. We love going downtown and we really could not have asked for better weather!!

Sorting
I still do my weekly lessons/themes with Liane and this week we are talking about rain/water, umbrellas and how to dress for the rain. In these pics she is gluing buttons to the top part of her umbrella. Shortly into her gluing I noticed that she started sorting the buttons on her own!! She was totally focused and having a great time, I just had to take pics! I love to watch her learn and grow!!!! Good job Liane!! (notice the outfit too... all decked out in her Cinderella dress from Halloween, her necklace and all the bracelets she owns. Thats my girl!!) Purple first... (and a whole lotta glue lol)

Easter Egg Coloring
Tonight we colored eggs with Liane. We started a tradition of coloring eggs on Friday so the Easter Bunny can come to our house a day early and hide the eggs. We want to keep Sunday a holy day and have it be focused on the Savior and the true reasons why we celebrate Easter in the first place. I grew up loving the holiday, the eggs, the candy and all and didnt want to do away with it so we found a nice way to incorporate it all. "Commercialized" easter on Saturday and the "Real" easter on Sunday- church, spending time with family, and enjoying a meal. Its great!!
