Easter

The Easter bunny visited our house but there are no pictures.  Why?  Well maybe it has to do with the fact that our kids view this holiday as Christmas so they woke up at the crack of dawn to see their baskets.  I do not view this as Christmas so my booty stayed in bed and didn't take pictures.  So while I stayed in bed the kids ripped into their baskets and ate 90% of the candy in those baskets.

And finally, our attempt at a family picture.  Bad lighting+impatient/non-willing subjects+ terrible backgrounds= horrible pictures.

 Why did I think the shade from the tree would be cool?  Not so much.

 Yes, we have a shed.  It's part of our family too.

Whatever.  We know we're cute!  :)

Happy Easter!

Easter Egg Hunt

Our ward and neighborhood had an Easter egg hunt with a TON of kids and a bunch of things for all the kids to do.  It started at 9 am so we wouldn't be out in the heat (yes heat.  it was 95 degrees that day) so it was great.  Unfortunately we were out late the night before so Makayla didn't wake up until 9:30.  We got over to the festivities right before they started the egg hunt so we didn't get much time to join in all the other fun stuff.

 Faces were painted.

 Friends were found and the wait wasn't too long.

 Makayla was in the group that got a 30 second head start.

 She was trying really hard to get those eggs.

 Now Bryce gets his chance.

 At this point I totally lost track of Makayla and went out to find her.  A nice lady from the ward was holding her hand trying to find me.  Apparently some kids were a little too enthusiastic and mowed her down.  She was okay....just shaken up.

 Now here's the kicker.  So we get up and hurried our tails out the door to get to the egg hunt.  All the anticipation and excitement and for how hard they tried (Bryce really did run fast and try hard) and for getting run over by kids,  Makayla got about 10 eggs and Bryce got 1.  One measly little egg.  Fortunately he was a good sport about it and Makayla was so sweet and shared her eggs.

It was a fun day!  I should point out that Erik and Preston were in Flagstaff this day hiking with some friends so they weren't around.

Conference Weekend

We decided the best way to spend the 2 hours in between sessions on Conference weekend was to fly kites.  And it was perfect!  Here's the pictures to prove it.

We tried to get a game of catch going on but the kids weren't really into it so I put down the camera and played catch with Erik. 

After the fun we headed home with our mitts, kites, family, and friends for some lunch and inspirational messages.  Maybe some naps were taken but we're keeping that information confidential.  :)
