Easter time

We kicked off the Easter weekend by coloring some eggs!!
Remi started off by decorating the egg carton and then moved on to the eggs.

She was so cute and enjoyed it so much!
She could hardly wait at all to take the eggs out seconds after she put them in! ;)


She would do some cute little doodles in and then drop the eggs in.
"Oh coooo mommy!!"
is what she would say each time she dropped one in.
Then she kept checking them and would "ooo and awe" at the pretty colors they were turning!



Remi and her beautiful eggs!

I love her pretty blue eyes so much




We had so much fun hiding the eggs each morning.
Remi would rush down the stairs and gather them all up!

The day before Easter, we hit up an Easter Egg hunt!
Grandma Mallard and Aunt Li

Remi was a little hesitant when she saw this bunny
Hanging out with Grandma Mallard 

This is such a fun hunt for the kids in our neighborhood.
A lady that lives down the street from us puts it on every year. 
She collects toys etc. all year long and each kid ends up leaving with a full pillowcase, no joke!


There was so much stuff, Remi almost didn't know what to do or where to start.
She had so much fun!
After it was over, we got to enjoy a yummy ice cream cone!


Sunday morning in our Sunday best!
This little girl LOVES church so much.
Here she is with her handsome daddy before  church.


Eli told Remi to smile and she started sobbing!
(It was already nap time apparently. 11 am church can be tough!)



Not the best family photo, but hey, at least we got one!
My pregnant belly with baby "B"!


And here is the biggest blessing in our life!
Remington Jo Coon!

We enjoyed our meetings and then spent the rest of the day enjoying time with family!
Where do I even begin about the love I have for my Savior, Jesus Christ.
I am not always perfect, and tend to let that get to me more than it should.
But this Easter it really hit me that that's ok. Not to be perfect all the time.
And the reason for that is the atonement of our Savior. 
It is available to us at all times and trials in our lives. I am so grateful to my Father in Heaven for providing a Savior for me and my family. I am thankful to be able to teach my daughter about Jesus. I love her sweet little prayers each night. 
My family can be forever because of him, and I am eternally grateful.
I heard it said that how can we fail with the Savior on our side.

Happy Easter Everyone!
