Easter is continued!

My friend Natasha hosted an Easter/Spring party a week after Easter because Easter just came so quickly! It was definitely worth the wait. She had amazing food and amazing games set up for the kids to play. One of the most fun parties I've been to!


 To start with we had a HUGE Easter Egg Hunt. We each had to bring 10 eggs, and Natasha set out about 250 eggs before hand. They all loved it! 
 READY. SET. GO! 
Brecken could care less. 

Our friends Leah and Landon and Bethany! How cute is Leah with her pregnant belly??!!

Liam and Landon looking for eggs. 

Brecken would rather play in the mulch. 

Resting after getting not only the one basket shown, but TWO! Lucky kids. 

 LET THE GAMES BEGIN!
 Egg Races. Jackson walked the entire time making sure he did not drop his egg. Safety First! 

Ball races! 
Love all of these pictures! Lera looks like she is riding a bull, Caleb's hair is outrageous and well Jack is Jack. 

Teagan's so happy and showing me her cat impression! 

 Potato Sack Races!
Again there is Caleb with his luscious locks and the picture of Molly is AMAZING! I'm so proud I got that shot!

Everyone's favorite Tug-A-War!


This was so cute to watch. All the kids had a lot of fun.
Natasha and her husband Scott are shown in the picture too and they both were great hostess and hosts! 

We love Easter!


Jack's Easter Concert

Jack has been practicing his songs at home and he would get very angry at us when we didn't know the words to what he was singing. When we would sing "Jesus loves me", he would tell us that we needed to use sign language throughout the whole thing. It was cute. However, while he was in the concert he did not sing or sign. 
He started acting very silly throughout half of the concert. Sticking his tongue out at us, picking his nose and he even starting fighting with his friend Dalton, who is on his left side. 

Jack's Easter Egg Hunt!

Brecken was able to participate too. 


Dying eggs is hard work. 
Carrots for the Easter Bunny!
Apparently if you plant jellybeans the day before Easter you might get lucky and get lollipops! Jackson was very excited for the possibility of this and wanted to keep checking on them throughout dinner and the rest of the evening. 

The Easter Bunny Came!!

 Love Brecken's facial expression here. 
 Someone is VERY excited for his Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtle sword! 




Time to find LOLLIPOPS! 

 Grandma Sue got us bubble guns and they LOVED them!! Used all the bubbles in about an hour. 
Unfortunately the lollipops that we planted up by the trees the ants got a hold of because it rained!

Happy St. Patrick's Day


A parade, Price's Chicken and the Whitewater Rafting Center is what entailed celebrating St. Patrick's Day this year. Nate and Jill came up with their two girls, Shelby and Madison, and we had a great time. The boys are IN love with the girls, and the girls in return ate them right up. The parade wasn't a parade until the belly dancers and the Ghostbusters came out. But shortly after that we ended up at the famous Price's Chicken, which by the way was delicious, and then we were off to the White Water Center for some beer and a live band. We did not expect the thousands of people that were there and surprisingly about 1,000 dogs. I mean thousands of people so we were in line for longer than we were there getting beer. They died the river green, and it was so sunny that a few of us got a mild sunburn.  I love St. Patrick's Day. Everyone is mainly happy and mainly because they are drunk, but it is always fun. Thank you Nate and Jill for making the trip down to see us!

Kevin, Madison and Nate at the parade. Do we go anywhere without a red solo cup?? 

I must say this is one good looking little guy!! We put gel in his hair because it's SOO long and it is always in his eyes..

Shelby and the boys on the left and Jill and I on the right! 

Like I said..It's not a parade until these beauties come out. :) Happy St. Patrick's Day!

The Green River!  We will be visiting more during the summer! 

Nat and Jill are so cute! And I love that Nate is still sporting his bow tie. 
Shelby and Madison are cracking me up in this picture. :) Love it!! 

 I'm in love with this picture!!

Shelby and I are wearing the same outfit...Sort of..

Well the Hunt's could not visit without some sort of game. We had a cupcake eating contest. They brought down cupcakes from their bakery, and we got some from ours. I LOVE Madison's face in this picture, I love that Nate fed Kevin a cupcake, and mostly I love they are wearing my socks as blindfolds. And FYI...our bakery won and Kevin swears he hates our bakery. :) Good times!
