Easter

Yes, Easter. I had the best intentions of getting this posted and then chaos at school and in life. So here it is. Thursday before Easter (during Spring Break) Lincoln had his 6 month check up. He was 90% on height and head and 50% on weight. He got his shots (not his favorite) and we headed home to pack up the car. Jefferson loaded the car when we got home and we headed to St. George! Lincoln pretty much slept the whole way (thanks to the shots). We camped in the tent trailer with Jefferson's parents in Snow Canyon. It was a lot of fun! Friday we went on a short hike up the Hidden Pinyon Trail.

Suzanne, Joe, Capree, Oakley and Megan came down Friday night and stayed at a hotel. It was interesting getting Lincoln to sleep in the trailer. He slept between the end and Jefferson, and I slept right below them. Friday night Lincoln started being really fussy around 5 a.m. Jefferson usually got him back to sleep no problem, but this night was different. Lincoln started crying and got louder and louder. I felt bad because the Porter's were trying to sleep! Finally I had Jefferson hand Lincoln to me. I laid him by me and it only made things worse. So I sat up with him and lost the binki. Jefferson was helping me find it when I found the problem with Lincoln. He had somehow got both legs stuck down one side of his pajamas! He was totally stuck and hated it! So I unzipped him and got his legs in the correct openings and zipped him back up. We laid down and he was instantly asleep! It was pretty funny the next morning...

The big party was Saturday. Every year Ramona's extended family gets together for an Easter picnic at this cool farm that has been in their family for a long time. There was dutch oven lunch, easter egg hunts for the children, and even a Jeopardy style game about the ancestors. It was a lot of fun, even though the weather was on the cold side. Joel, Michelle, Grant and Ella made it for the party on their way to a week in San Diego.

We left St. George Saturday after the party. Sunday was Easter and my first day in Young Women's. I am the Beehive Advisor in my ward. I am loving it! The girls are super fun and YW is just a great place to be. We took some cute Easter pictures of Lincoln. Here is my favorite.



All in all it was a great spring break and Easter!!
