We all stayed at Aunt Merilee's in Twin Falls and had lots of fun. On Saturday, the kids dyed Easter Eggs. Here is Dawson and Jaycee
Kaylee, Spring, Hayden, Rockhard, and Jaycee coloring eggs.
Mom and Dad Ellis. Mom Ellis hasn't been feeling well, so we were glad that she was able to come to our mini reunion and stay. She's been on oxygen, but is able to take it off for several hours a day.

This is in Merilee's house. This is ONLY the crew that stayed for Sunday. We listened to conference together. The night before...we easily had more than double this for a big bbq dinner. All the men went to priesthood session together. This picture only represents 4 out of the 7 siblings. Only Randy's family in Texas was missing from the Saturday party---and a few of the grandkids that are spread out across the US.
Kim, Tammy and Coby
We were able to take the kids over on Sunday to see the new Twin Falls temple. It's really pretty. It was gated closed so we weren't able to get any closer for pictures. The girl on the right is Devin's girlfriend Kiera who was able to take the trip up with us and meet our crazy family.
WOW. The biggest surprise of all! When we first got there, I was shocked when I walked into their home and found a COW in the front room. Yep---a full size BIG cow. His name was T-Bone and he was their pet. When they had him butchered...they decided to have him stick around and had him mounted. It made me laugh to see this big cow...he's huge. The girls had fun taking pictures with him...and he's a great conversation piece!!
On Sunday, we went to Gooding to see Mark and Aki's new house. It's really cute the way Aki has decorated. We spent some time visiting with them and Kevin, Sylvia, and Matthew. My girls just love playing with Leiliani and Tristan.
Sunday night, we went over to Mom and Dad Ellis' and stayed the night since everyone else went back home. We decided to stay an extra day and enjoy getting away. Bonnie came over on Monday and visited before we had to leave. This is her cute little guy Blake.
Bonnie is due with #2 in 4 weeks. What a cute little momma!
This is Mindy and Bonnie..our nieces.......what beautiful girls.
We left Wendell about 4:00 and had a blizzard almost all the way home. Around Switzer Summitt there was a car that slid off and rolled. It was pretty much a white knuckle ride all the way home. I don't think we've ever hit such bad weather in all the times we've been up there. We had tons of fun, but were glad to get home to our own beds.

I'm so glad you were able to get away for a few days to visit family. Looks like you had a great time, except for coming home.
