Hone Family 2012

Here's the latest and greatest of the our family.  This picture was taken for us by Marissa Moss at our adoption photo shoot we did a few weeks ago.  The pictures are going to be used for an adoption outreach book I'm working on completing.  If you'd like to look at more of Marissa's work visit her at www.marissadphotography.com

Happy Easter

This Easter was a special one. We had family in town! Kal's cousin and his family came for a visit. We had a great time on Friday morning having a warm-up egg hunt. It was perfect to get Shaylee ready for Easter morning. At that egg hunt they had a unique idea: each child had a certain type of egg they had to hunt (Kaleb had camo, Sage had pink camo, Karter had blue with polka dots, and Shaylee had solid orange eggs). It was perfect! Each child had 18 eggs of their color or pattern to find. No one went without and no one hoarded. We thought it was pure genius! Plus, we could hide the older kids eggs in more difficult locations to make the hunt more of a challenge. Thank you so much Gunderson's for being a part of our Easter!

Today we had our own egg hunt and gifts from the big bunny.  We always have so much fun!  For sacrament meeting we got to visit the Serene Ward where we used to live.  One of my former young women just returned from a mission to Guatemala and was speaking today.  It's always so rewarding to see the young people we've taught make good choices.

We hope each of you had a wonderful Easter and took a little time to reflect on the gifts we've been given by our Lord and Savior.  As I told my CTR 5 class, someday we too will live again!  What more can we ask for?!?
