Our Easter

Easter always starts with coloring too many eggs.





Saturday morning starts off with a hunt for candy at the park. We didn't let the snow stop us from getting all the candy we could get.


Next we head to Fayette to roll eggs down the sand dunes. We build a trail that goes all the way to the bottom of the hill.


We also eat, play in the sand, and the biggest event is sand surfing.




We woke up to snow Easter morning, but that didn't stop the Easter Bunny from hiding the eggs outside.




The kids in their Easter clothes.....wish they could have wore them.

Most of Easter day is spent at the Plum Patch where we eat, have another hunt, play baseball, shoot trap, sit by the fire, and break the last of the Easter eggs.

and they're of......................


The kids look forward to these Easter traditions all year, and once again it was a very fun weekend.

My baby is 2

I can't believe my baby is two. She is the happiest child I know. Her girly personality adds so much to our family. I have been told by other parents "just wait till you have a girl, that's when the tantrums start." She is not like that at all. She just gets her feelings hurt easier. It is so nice having another girl in the home. She already loves painting her nails with me. It is so fun getting a little girl ready, especially for church. When she is done, she will look in the mirror and say "cute." She loves playing with her dolls, polly pockets, her kitchen, dress ups and jack. Jaydee is a such a sweet blessing in our home.






Fun in the SUN!!

We wanted to go somewhere warm for spring break, so we packed up the van and headed south. Grandma Sandra and two of Karl's brothers were able to make the trip with us. We left after church on Sunday and found what we were looking for, the Mesquite sun. We played in the pool, bowled, played arcade games, ate too much food, rode go carts, and played in the pool some more.












It was nice to get away from the wind and snow, even if it was only for three days.
