Jen hosted Sunday dinner at her house. It was nice and we had Erin’s birthday to celebrate also. She turned 13.
Liz, Ash, Jen, Erin, Justin, Kurt.
I can’t believe this little boy is a Senior! He is getting ready for his mission and I cant even believe it! He is such a good boy. It has been fun seeing them more often.
We spent Easter at Mom’s house. Ryan drove up late Saturday night and spent Sunday with us, it was nice of him, and I’m sure he didn’t want to spend the day alone.
Our Easter Girls
Emma wanted her own picture, I guess I should have done one of everyone by themselves…
It was fun to try and find our Easter baskets in mom’s kitchen, lots of different hiding places than normal! It was a great day!
We had a FREEZING cold Easter egg hunt for the 4th graders. It was miserable! BUT, it didn’t deter them any. Emma was quite happy to find the golden egg. Lucky girl! Dane photo bombed our Emma and Serena picture.
Claire spent her time with Justin’s class, they had lots of games and fun.
Rett and Kaleb were so cute in Heidi’s bean bags and banana chairs. These two are in the beginning stages of a life long journey of terrorizing sisters and scaring their mother’s to death!
But they sure are cute little brothers right now!
We always have a great time at school, we are fortunate to have good teachers who take care of our kids! We love them!
We all got together at Bob and Sara’s new house for dinner. We had all of the locals come which was nice, we haven't all been together for a while. It was fun to see lots of cousins.
Ryan hurt his back (like a weekly occurrence this time of year) so his good mom rubbed him down and he felt good as new. Paxton was helping! Paxton has red hair! 3rd cousin to get that red hair, so fun!
Ash stopping for a second for a picture.
On your mark, get set, GO!
Bobby and Sara have this big forest at their new house, perfect for hunting eggs and exploring in.
No Sunday is complete with out a play directed by Ashley.
Im sure everyone appreciated all of that make up!
Uncle Cody and Aunt Whitny were in town for Easter so we got together Saturday night to color and hunt eggs with them. Claire got her egg hunting clothes on?!?
Ash took lots of pictures of the eggs, but none of the kids hunting them! We had Sara and her kids over to hunt with us too. It was great fun!
The kids found their Easter baskets full of fun treats and candy. Justin got army guys,
Emma got modeling clay, she is big into making things out of clay and I am tired of making it! This kind doesn’t dry out either, she loved it!
Ashley got Yogi Bear, she is starting to get hard to shop for…not looking forward to these tween years!
Claire Bear got a mini Lalaloopsy doll. I think they are so darling, I wanted to get her the big one but I didn’t think that was fair to everyone else, she will have to wait until her birthday, (or I will have to wait till her birthday!)
Ryan and I attempted a picture, I have a horrible double chin still and I am like a giant squishing my wittle husband, he is such a goof, thanks dear!
This one was a tiny bit better, still got some baby weight to loose! We are such a striking couple! HA! Anyway I am holding my most special Easter treat, and Ryan got a cool MP3 player.
It was a fun Easter morning!
Mom and Dad stayed Saturday morning so I could take the kids into the Easter egg hunt in town. The weather was better then it has been in years past, I like having Easter later in April, the snow is usually gone. Justin wanted to take his gloves and I couldn’t figure out why. He told me last year Dad had to pick up his eggs for him because they were in the snow! The grass was green and growing this year! Everyone got an egg or two so we did great!
Rett stayed home with Grandma and did ok, it is good that he takes a bottle, I need to keep giving him at least one a day so he stays used to them. I don’t know how I am going to keep up with all of these kids and a nursing babe! I just keep telling myself lots of people have done this I can too!
We spent Sunday afternoon at Grandma Telfords. We had a lovely ham dinner and lots of good company, although we did miss all those who weren't there. After dinner we hunted a few eggs. This is the first year we have been able to hunt outside! It is always so cold and it did try to rain a little, but it was a beautiful day. Ryan kept saying how hot it was. (it was not hot, it was nice though) I attempted some pictures of the kids hunting and I didn’t have much luck. This is a true to life picture, everyone is running and I can barely keep up lately!
We just had a small group of kids this year, it was nice though. Check out that big ol’ baby Kaleb, he is a monster baby! We just celebrated his first birthday last week!
Aunt Sara organized some egg dying, otherwise my kids would have been deprived this year. Good thing we have a good Aunt Sara who takes care of us!
Grandma with baby Rett.
Ashley and Emma had their Easter parties at school Friday. I had Sara come and stay with Rett so I could go into the school which was really nice! Ashleys class did a treasure hunt and Emmas class dyed eggs and then hunted them. It was a fun day at school!
Emmas class played musical chairs and Claire got included too. She looked so cute and I wanted to get a good picture of her but do you think she would EVER hold still…..
Then a classic Emma and Serena picture:
