Easter 2017

easter, easter, easter.

good friday and easter saturday were spent watching jevan play in the easter comp.

apart from the early mornings and long drives we had a good time.

but then along came sunday.

that was not such a good time.

i was determined to make it through sacrament being SUPER patient and loving.

we (braxton and i ) got all the way to the beginning of the closing prayer,

then i lost it, snapped it, whatever you want to call it.

braxton was removed (against his will) from sacrament meeting,

taken to a room and blasted.

i did try and remember to try and maintain a lower screaming voice 

but i'm pretty sure i wasn't on the quieter side.

this boy is my everest.

he stretches and pushes me to the brink of self-destruction.

i pray every morning for more patience 

EVERY. SINGLE. MORNING.

some mornings it works,

some it doesn't.

easter sunday went under the category of didn't.

so the day where i should've felt extremely grateful for all that i had been given,

i was feeling like jevan was going to have to admit me to a crazy home.

one with white walls and inside the room you would find a distressed mother in a straitjacket.

and then after church he had the hid to run up to me 

give me the biggest hug and tell me he loves me.

he blows my mind ! 

anyways our easter festivities were fun.

the easter bunny came and left eggs for the boys to find in the morning,

we had our annual hot cross bun breakfast,

we went to church where the boys got more eggs,

we came home and had a bit of a rest before heading to the temple,

we had an easter egg hunt with our ormsby cousins

and then we went to grammy and grampy's house and had our final

 and probably biggest easter egg hunt there.

the boys got way too much chocolate (which has been confiscated)

but they had an absolute ball of a time.
