Easter Sunday

Easter was a good one for us this year. These are the kids getting their Easter baskets that morning.

Mom! Take a picture of this!

Doesn't that look just say, "Thanks for letting me eat chocolate for breakfast!"

After conference was over we went to my Grandparents chapel for dinner. My uncle, who has ALS or Lou Gehrig's disease just got a new wheel chair and was giving all the kids a ride.

We are so grateful for the plan of our Heavenly Father and for Jesus Christ who made it possible for all of us to overcome death and to one day be together again as a family.

Easter Egg Hunt

This last week we had a ward Easter Egg hunt. The kids loved it. Scott was at a Young Mens Stake basketball tournament so he wasn't able to make it.

Can you tell that Park didn't want me to take his picture?

Indie totally knew what to do with the eggs!

BE FOREWARNED! SURGERY PICTURES BELOW!

Okay, apparently I needed to have put up a disclaimer before the last post. Our friend JP tells us that the pictures were disgusting. I didn't think they were too bad. I've seen some pretty grusome surgeries before and I didn't think a couple of pictures of the inside of Scott's knee were too bad, but I guess I was wrong. So...I know it's a little late, but here is the disclaimer. =)

A new ACL

About a month ago Scott hurt his knee playing church ball. (It's always church ball, isn't it?) He went to the instacare and they said it was probably sprained and to give it a couple of weeks. If it didn't feel better then he should see a specialist. Well, last Friday he saw the specialist. He was almost positive Scott had torn his ACL. Surgery was necessary. So Tuesday Scott went in to Altaview hospital and got himself a new ACL, as well as having to have his meniscus (the pad inbetween bones) repaired, it was torn in three different places. Here are some of those fun pictures from the surgery!

Before, with no ACL and some of the damage.

All cleaned up and his new cadaver ACL.

It's official!

Indie's first word is.....cracker!

Zion

Scott had the week off of work this last week. We decided to take a quick trip down to Zion and St. George to enjoy some warmer weather. So, here are a bunch of pictures from our visit.

I must say that Zion Nat'l Park is aptly named. It is such a beautiful and peaceful place.

Swimming at the hotel.

What's the name of this action figure?

We call him Grandpa Minson

Seriously? How many kids can say that they have an action figure of their Grandpa? Complete with the blue eyes, brown hair, high pants (I know, dad, it's a generational thing), and the side part that has been there for as long as I can remember. Even the part is on the correct side. It even looks like an outfit my dad would wear.
