It was BEAUTIFUL here today~ 
Jeni (my hiking buddy) and I took advantage of the weather and the view, hiking a trail along the creeks edge. It was peaceful, beautiful and very inviting....we walked the creek trail to where McKay Creek meets the Umatilla River. Along the way we were greeted by a number of Pheasants (this is why I have the leash.. being a bird dog, I needed to keep her close) a number of Deer and a heard of cows. I tried to capture the view along the way to share. NOTE: I am not one who wants for what others have.. But the swinging bench along side the creek.. I REALLY WANT IT!!!

This evening
the kids colored Easter Eggs...which I am still having a hard time grasping, Easter being tomorrow. Although reality was clear when I went to WalMart in search of a big eared chocolate bunny for a friend... I was WAY TOO LATE... There were parents with seriously worried looks about them. There were plenty of jelly beans & colored chocolate bunnies, but if TRUE chocolate is what they were in search of...the search continued! The kids had fun coloring, and of course being a kid at heart, I colored too! Looking forward to morning, when the kids will wake early with excitement to search out their baskets. Tradition has been that the EB hides the baskets the night before and when you wake in the morning you search for them. The 
baskets are filled with c
hocolate, bunnies 
and jelly beans (all my favorites...since I'll be the one nibbling too) and a small gift. We'll go 
to church and then on to brunch. Later in the day we'll have an egg hunt for the mop top. The guys will nap or watch basketball. The mop top will nap too! Me, I'll go for my Easter walk with the dog, because I will have well over indulged and guilt will consume me =O And when I return feeling better, I'll nibble on an ear or pop a few jelly beans... because Easter tastes soo yummy!

I think I ate three packages all by my self this Easter season, UGGG...the therapy of biting someones head off and then the joy of the sugar high..It caught up with me, I am cured...for another year anyway! Looking forward to the service at church tomorrow, the reminder that HE HAS RISEN! I try and share with the mop top why we celebrate Easter, I've come to conclude there is a reason why I am not a Minister...I know why I'm not a nun =O.....For all of the sharing during Holy
week and talki
ng about the Resurrection, it is nearly impossible for me to convey the message clearly to a three year old. Although, I think she gets the idea, most importantly I suppose is that I'm trying. And I do...for all of my own short comings the one thing I strive to do better than anything, is to share with my children that Jesus loves them, He died for them and HE HAS RISEN FOR THEM... HE HAS RISEN!!!
