Happy Easter!



Happy Easter everyone! It's been a busy few days for us. It's spring break right now for us, so we've been out of school since Wed. The ward had their Easter Egg hunt Wednesday, but they ended up having it in the church since it was windy. Kaleb and his cousin Bryson went with Gram and Papa to Thanksgiving Point for a early birthday trip on Friday. I forgot to get the pictures from my mom, but it looked like they had fun. Gram and Papa had their annual egg hunt on Saturday. Carlie found the grand prize egg that had $10 in it! The Easter bunny outdid himself this year and brought the kids 10 baby chicks (what was he thinking?) We've been wanting to get something farmish, so chickens it is I guess. It was chaos trying to get ready for church after all the Easter excitement. I'm thinking that next year the Easter bunny may come on Saturday? That way we could spend some time concentrating on what Easter is really all about. Brock gave a talk in Primary today about Jesus, and the Resurrection. He did such a good job, I was proud of him. We spent the afternoon riding four-wheelers with the Dearden's. We went out to some hieroglyphics, and then to a dormant volcano called Sugarloaf. The kids had fun rolling Easter eggs down the hill (something I had never done?). We brought the boys four-wheelers for them, but of course they wanted to ride with Grandma in the Ranger instead. I think Derrick rode their four-wheelers more than they did today? It really has been a nice break, but I am looking forward to Tuesday so I can start to catch up a bit!

3 nice, polite comments! (otherwise, don't bother!):

Cute slide show. I wish that I had taken more pictures, but I thought that I had lost my camera until sunday. It looks like everyone had a good weekend. Btw, I love your background. Where did you get it?

Katie, I got the background at www.onecuteblog.blogspot.com. they are free and there were some cute ones. I loved that I didn't loose all my stuff when I changed it like I did last time!

Ann~ Katy just cut Carlie's hair again this weekend. I think it's really cute and fits her. Sometimes I think I should have let it grow, it would be really long now, but I do like it short. I'm thinking we are crazy for getting chickens, I hope they are fun?
