SURPRISE...!
I joined Wyone, Camille, Carrie and CJ and headed to Montana to surprise Carol Ann for her 60th Birthday. It was great to see the look on her face as we came off the plane. (She knew Carrie was coming but not the rest of us) Kellie and Addy surprised her as well but Kim had everything under control. What a fun weekend we had visiting, eating, checking out Billings, and doing missionary work with CA.




The Girls and CJ...and CA on the phone....she had missionaries calling her all day long.


They also surprised her later the evening with cake and ice cream
They love their ice cream....there were two more cartons in the freezer!!!!


We visited the Billings Temple and they went to two different baptisms.

Easter Time 2010

EASTER TIME....We had a lot of fun getting ready for Easter especially on Tuesday...we planted some grass and then watched it grow through the weeks and finally were able to hide a few jelly beans and marshmallow bunnies

Meanwhile Sharla was preparing for her Easter Egg hunt on Friday evening. With help from the boys and Bryn and others...she had over 2000 eggs ready to hide

They spread them all over the grounds and in the rocks and in the trees and anywhere else they could find to place them

By evening the families and friends began to arrive and they kept coming and coming...

The brought treats and Easter baskets and lots of little people...as soon as it was dark they headed out with their flashlights and filled their baskets.

It was a very successful evening!

Saturday we met again between Conference meetings with the Barton family and had a great
picnic at the Johnson Home with delicious food and great visiting. It was fun to have all of the Russ Barton family there as we haven't seen them all together for quite a while. We really missed most of the Gardner's and were glad to have Carrie and Colby and family to represent them.
