Easter Egg Hunt-Winks Family Style

On Saturday we popped over to Collin's family's home for a good ole' fashion egg hunt. 
It turned out to be quite a big deal. Grandpa Winks had hid 70 eggs, and then we brought 24 more.
Needless to say there were plenty of eggs to find and lots of fun to be had.

But, I think most people get the gist of an egg hunt through pictures. 


Raleigh was doing this, while...

Penny was trying to eat all that was in each egg she did find.

Eithan looked like this when he found his eggs, but first he did this...

He had to study it a little bit and then put it in his basket
{which Collin carried around for him}


Which was then followed by a little comparison... 
Raleigh was really patient and helped Eithan find eggs, pointed eggs out to him and wandered around while telling him where to look and what was going on.. it was really cute. 


It all ended with this... counting the eggs to make sure we found them all, which we hadn't, so we scoured the yard a little more, found a few more.. {but, of course, not all. ; ) }

It was a fun play outside all day while the grown ups talk and get a little bit sunburned and the kids wear themselves out and sleep peacefully all through the night day. Loved it.

Officially Missing You


It's been 4 years today that our handsome little guy returned home to His Father in Heaven.
And every day we remember what a miracle he was and what a blessing he is in our lives.








The Lord Has Not Forgotten You- Linda S Reeves

.."Our Heavenly Father and our Savior, Jesus Christ, know us and love us.... They feel the depth of our suffering, and we can feel of Their love and compassion in our suffering.
Alma testified:
“And he shall go forth, suffering pains and afflictions and temptations of every kind; and this that the word might be fulfilled which saith he will take upon him the pains and the sicknesses of his people.
“And he will take upon him … their infirmities, that his bowels may be filled with mercy, … that he may know … how to succor his people according to their infirmities.”
I know this is true. He loves me. He loves my family. And He is taking care of my little one now.
I will forever be grateful for all that He does for us.
