Easter.....

For the last 6 years or so we have gotten together with cousins and celebrated Easter. We have great memories of this time. We asked our kids if they wanted to go to St. George this year or be with cousins, and they said stay with cousins. Crazy, but I love that they love to be with cousins so much. We had a great time. We decorated eggs, decorated cookies, had an easter egg hunt, played games, had a sleep over, went to the park, and had a great dinner. We had fun, as you can see. Decorating eggs is always fun, but messy. I love that it is getting easier since the kids are getting older. When it was time for the easter egg hunt, thankfully, it stopped raining for a brief moment. So that was great. On easter morning, we did a scavenger hunt for the kids to find their baskets. My 6 year old was hilarious. She was so excited and new that the easter bunny had come because her basket was "missing". It was interesting that when Trevyn read the clues, Witnee actually was the one to get and figure out the clues. It really surprised us. It was really fun and added a new twist this year on finding their baskets. We also had a great time at the park before we went over to my brother's for dinner. I wanted to move my body a little before eating. I was feeling sluggish, so we walked to the park/rode bikes. The kids played golf, football, rode bikes, etc. It was actually pretty nice weather too. Then we had an awesome ham dinner (of course). It was a great easter together as a family.

This is the craft we did at Trevyn's school party. Very fun. The kids loved them.

Can you tell who the ham is in our house? She is showing her new polish and hat.
We went to the park to move a little before our easter dinner.
I couldn't resist this picture of our goon Kiersten.
When the wind came up, it was a little cold.

Anniversary.....

Well, every so often Easter is also my anniversary and my birthday. Being it was Easter and wanted to be with the kids, we didn't do a whole lot for the anniversary and birthday side of things. BUT, I have to say I can't believe I've been married for 11 fabulous years. I have a wonderful, thoughtful, fun husband that I am so glad that I married. Wow, time flies. We've been blessed with three beautiful children and we are still best friends. I truly couldn't have married a better guy:)


(I know this isn't a great picture BUT realized looking for pictures that my favorites are in boxes and that I very seldom take pictures with myself in them. Plus, I had to wear glasses due to an eye infection. UGH!)
