Here is a picture of us at the Dixie College Easter Egg Hunt, Emma was there but she was with her friend Josie. We had an interesting weekend it was Easter and Alex was grounded, that doesn't make for too much fun. John had the weekend off but he really didn't because he was working on the basement. It's coming along, he's just putting the putty now then sand and paint, so it'll be done probably by next weekend that's the hope anyway. Alex was grounded because he's been on a stealin/lying spree. Sneaking on the nintendo sneaking on to watch movies early in the morning, stealing money, lying about it all (of course). He's really learning a lot, I hope! We've doubled our efforts for personal scripture study and prayer in the hope that he will be able to avoid the temptations of the devil. Kind of funny when you hear that way but not really, it's horrible. He knows it is and he's trying very hard to be a good boy. As for me I ate 3 cupcakes yesterday and 4 fast food tacos so I'm having a hard time resisting temptation myself. I'm going to have to read my scriptures more to, I actually think they give me strength to have more control over myself the same way Alex will have control over himself. The natural man is an enemy to God and me! We are all struggling with ourselves every day.
