I'm sure you're wondering why the pictures of these awful looking pies are on my blog- because they are the result of a great "Lynn" moment. I made two strawberry pies, a bananna creme, and a german chocolate pie for Easter dinner at Aunt Marcia. Our fridge is very small and the one in the garage doesn't work so it was Lynn's job as I finished the pies to fit them into the fridge. He thought he was being very creative by stacking them on top of the chinese food leftovers and then on top of the milk cartons and then he ran out of room for the chocolate pie. So he did what any good builder would do- he double stacked on top of one of the straberry pies- how I'm not sure, I only witnessed the aftermath. He kept telling us all to not slam the fridge door and it would be okay, but when he opened the door later he said "Oops!" which you really never want to hear him say. I walked over and the chocolate pie had tipped into the strawberry pie and then ALL OVER THE FRIDGE. I stayed calm and no swear words were uttered cause thankfully the missionaries were standing there to go to dinner with us. It only took about 1/2 hour and a dismantling of the fridge, but we sorta saved the pies.
On a more spiritual note, my lesson for Young Women's went really well. I love Easter and all it portrays- the love of our Savior Jesus Christ and the sacrifice he made for us. We placed the events of the last week in Jesus's life in order and talked about each of them. I made a packet for each girl that is called "A Fourteen Day Walk with Christ" that has a letter for each day of the next two weeks that they open in the morning and read and think about during the day. It's supposed to help them understand Christ better and to help them see that how he lived his life can help them live theirs. It also passes off about a dozen personal progress goals. I hope the girls really take the time to read and ponder the things in the letters- it was so nice cause we had a couple of girls there that rarely come so hopefully it will touch them. My sweet family stayed up till 2am to help me get them together- which is tough for Lynn. I hope you all had a joyous Easter- still waiting for our sweet baby- poor Mandy went to the doctor today and he won't start her so she's pretty down. Say a prayer for her!

sounds like you had a somewhat stressful easter dinner too :) the car rallye is something anyone can join... its just $20 per car and anyone can do it. there are just different levels you are put into like first-timer and beginner. its pretty fun. We are excited for the wedding... how are the plans going? Have a great week!
The story about the pies is hilarious! I can totally see Lynn doing that...I'm sure it's something Joe would do too. Your lesson sounds really cool...someday when I'm in Young Women's I'll have to call you for all your ideas!
I love that Robyn said she can see Dad doing that...I can too! I am sure he thought he was being VERY smart! What I was most worried about was if the chocolate pie was still edible! That is my favorite pie! Good job on not swearing in front of the missionaries that would have been a little awkward! The lesson sounds awesome I will have to get a copy of it!
I was going to tell you that you need to check out my Grandma Hand's blog--she always reads yours--but then I saw that you posted a comment on hers! She's pretty excited about this blogging thing...look what you guys started! I love being able to keep up on what everyone's doing...you were like my second family growing up, after all!
Susie - loved the story of the pies. In my house, it would somehow be my fault that the pies looked like that, but everyone would eat and eat and eat. I would love to have you send me some of your ideas for YW. You always have the best ideas and lessons and I would love to share them with the YW here. Mandy is in our prayers
