Easter Weekend!

What a WONDERFUL Easter weekend we had.  It started off Saturday morning with Easter Baskets!
 

 

The kids were all thrilled with their little surprises!  Then we headed on out to my parents house for their annual Easter Party! 

We had an amazingly delicious lunch that included Friend Funeral Potatoes!  They were so yummy!  (I'm sure they will be all over pintrest before we know it!)  Then we told the kids that we had to have a picture before they could go on their egg hunt... this was our attempt to get all 12 kids... 

Oh well, at least we tried! 

Korbin and Cambridge chillin' together on the floor 

Let the egg hunt begin!!! 

 

Each kid looks for 10 eggs of a certain color.  Then among the treats and prizes finds little paper clues to where their big prize is!   

Audriana is sporting the big prize!  At one point all the kids were wandering around the house with their head lamps on!  The kids also made the most adorable bunny mobiles!  

We also celebrated Jeremy's 30th Birthday!  

My Mom and I went with the kids over to the school yard and played kickball, red rover, and 4 square!  We had SO MUCH FUN!  Then everyone else had to go....  

Me and the kids went back over to the school and let Boston practice with his new tennis racket (he is surprisingly good)  and let Hadley practice with her new PINK bat! 

Then it was time for Jeremy and Boston to go to the Jazz game!  They had so much fun and even caught a ball!!  

Hadley, Cambridge and I did a downtown tour!  I LOVE DOWNTOWN!  I seriously feel at home when I am there. 

This was my favorite picture of our Salt Lake Tour!

We arrived back home pretty late... I walked into the bathroom to find Boston brushing his teeth with his head lamp on!!  I would say the head lamps were a HUGE HIT!  

Sunday Morning came and the kids got dressed up fancy for Easter Sunday! 

We had a wonderful time at church.  I wasn't sure if I would like fast Sunday on Easter, but I LOVED it!  I loved hearing lots of testimonies born about our Savior Jesus Christ.  Ever since my sister died, Easter has truly become one of my favorite holidays!  I am so grateful that Jesus is Risen!! 

Sunday evening we dyed some Easter Eggs! 

This is always so fun for the kiddos.. and the adults!  And yes, we do dye our eggs in Christmas mugs!
What a Happy Easter!

Special Easter Bunny Visit

So I am sitting on my couch having a lovely visit with my Visiting Teachers... when both of them start staring out the window, with mouths wide open, speachless.... I go over to the window to see what is going on, and I see that the Easter Bunny has just pulled into our driveway!  I ran and got my camrea, and told the kids to answer the door!

Terrible lighting... but priceless. 

I love how Boston has his Super Boston cape on!  

My VERY surprised visiting teachers!

What a wonderful Easter Bunny to stop by totally unexpected!  I will NEVER forget the look on my visiting teachers faces... never.

Fun with Cousins!

My brother's kids came to town for their Spring Break, and my Mom let me join in on their fun!

The first day we went to Hollywood Connections!  We had soooo much fun!   

The kids loved all the rides 

The best part was it was free with our Pass of all Passes! 

Seriously, so fun!

We even did a round of mini-golf!

These two were SO CUTE together!

The next day we met up again, this time at Wheeler Farm!  We started out with a picnic lunch, and let the kids play on the really nice playground! 

Then we went and enjoyed the stinky animals! 

How Hadley feeds a horse... (She LOVES horses!)

How Boston feeds a horse!  (He is a little nervous!)   

 

 

 It was such a fun day at the farm!  

The funniest part was the boys talking about being in a black and white movie... like the WHOLE time.  Towards the end they were playing on this tree and Boston said "Hey Mom, take pictures of us in Black and White"  I did, and they thought it was SO COOL!  Kids crack me up!

It was really really fun to spend some time with my niece and nephews!  They are so adorable! 

Trip to Idaho Falls

We took a little road trip to Idaho Falls for my nephew Korbin's baby blessing.  As a bonus we were able to go a day early and join in the fun at Peyton's 6th Birthday party!!  They had it at a super fun Trampoline place.  The kids had the time of their lives! 

The birthday boy!! 

The 5 original grandsons! 

Theses two crazy girls had so much fun together!

At the party I took this photo... its one of my new favorites!  

After the party we went over to my brother's house and had pizza!  I was so excited to finally meet Korbin!  Isn't he adorable?! 

Then we headed back to the hotel to swim!!   

The kids were in heaven!! 

Cambridge enjoyed the sideline view with Grandma! 

In the morning we all got ready for church!  My mom captured this photo of two very handsome men! 

We grabbed some breakfast at the hotel (The kids thought it was way to cool!) 

Then we were off to Korbin's blessing.  My brother Phillip gave him a beautiful blessing.  I am so glad we were able to go be apart of his special day. 

We enjoyed some yummy Brunch after church!  Here are 4 beautiful cousins!

All 12 of my parents grandkids!

It was a really fun trip!

Happy 30th Birthday!!

Jeremy is an old man.  I tried really hard to make his 30th birthday special, and although most of my plans failed... a few came through!

I worked with one of his co-workers to get his office decorated for his birthday!  This is the sign I made for the door, along with 2 cute banners.  He was really surprised by this one!  

His work went all out and got 30 employees to write 30 things they love about Jeremy.  It was awesome.  They also had snickerdoodles and rootbear floats for him! 

Jeremy with his pizza ( his choice for his bday dinner!) 

I asked lots of people to send him cards, trying to get 30 cards for him! 

It was so awesome to see the mailbox flooded, and the surprise on Jeremy's face! 

We had a great time opening gifts... Jeremy especially liked his U of U sunglasses 

Hadley gave Jeremy a bandaid for his birthday.  Jeremy put it right on his fore head just like Hadley's!
