I Jinxed myself!

Ok so here is the truth. Right before Easter I was on a blogging roll! I was just recommitted and going strong. But the thing is when I get behind on a certain event I don't blog until I have caught up, which is really dumb because then I get more and more behind. But I do it..... So anyways back to the jinxing... Easter for us this year was great. We really enjoyed it, we colored eggs, went to lots of different hunts spread out through the city, enjoyed listening to General Conferance together and celebrating our Savior. It really was a great day. The Sunday before Easter my mama was holding her annual Easter egg hunt. I remember standing there taking pictures thinking this is what family is all about. We had my grandparents there with us, all of my siblings (except for Jus and Ers :(   ) A wonderful dinner, my mom had made the hunt a little more funner and crazier this year with a string maze for the kids where they found treasures a long the way, really it was such a picture perfect day. But it was also the day that put me on a blogging strike for awhile!! Months before at Christmas time I was chatting with my mom and sister in law I was telling them how in my whole 28 years of life me and my sister Holli have never gotten in a fight NEVER! I know that sounds crazy but we really hadn't. Sure there were times where maybe we both have disagreed with the other's choices or point of views but we have never ever  really argued to the point of a fight. My sister in law was shocked, and that was jinx number one, I mean seriously after saying that out loud you know a fight is on its way. The next jinx was the thoughts I had standing there taking pictures of this beautiful day. I really was just so happy to be with my family and I was just really loving  our whole fam and the memories that were being created. Later on that evening it ended with Holl and I in a huge fight and both of us being soooo mad at each other we didn't talk for days.  Sinse then I just haven't really blogged because I knew I needed to start with Easter! and how was I supposed to blog about Easter when I kept thinking about Holl! But if anything it has taught me such a  good lesson about forgiveness, love,  humility, pride, and most of all the importance of family. I love my sister with all of my heart and I could not imagine my life without any of my siblings, we all grew up with so many fun memories and such a tight bond that I hate the even thought of us not speaking to each other or not being apart of each other's lives. As Holl and I were not speaking I realized why so many families do split up and don't stay invloved in each others lives, and how maybe sometimes it would be easier that way. It would have been really easy for me and Holl to both just be hard headed and blame each other and have nothing to do with each other again. But that is not what family is about. As me and my siblings all get older I see us all seperating and going our own ways. We all have our own little families now and it is hard to balance out how often we see and talk to each other, but my hope and dream is that me and my sibs stay close and involved in each others lives forever and ever. I hate when we can't be together for holidays and birthdays and different events but I also know that that is life and as long as we are all at least trying to make some kind of effort then we will  be forever knitted together. So with that said, maybe now I will catch up!! Here are some pics from our Easter egg hunt at my Mom's.
