Happy Easter

This year we had 3 Easter egg hunts. The U of U puts on an easter event. We had an egg hunt and dyed and egg. The kids loved it!

 When the kids woke up Easter morning they discovered the Easter Bunny hid eggs around the house.

Then Aunt Hanna and Uncle Matt got in on the actions. They hid some eggs outside for another hunt. Jamie and B LOVED it! We had a very good Easter.

 

Jamie got a new suit and B got a new dress.

 

Jamie is showing off his tie pin that the easter Bunny brought. It says: FUTURE MISSIONARY.

Brionney got a bracelet and an anklet from the Easter Bunny to match her new dress.

Jamie was very excited to learn about easter. We've been discussing the events of the week. Jamie was so excited to get to the Easter part. When asked why we celebrate Easter he'd throw his hands in the air and yell: Jesus is alive! Super cute. Love you baby.

 

Happy Easter!

Happy Birthday Dad!

This is a crazy time for us. Daddy is away at school and work all the time so we didn't get to celebrate his birthday. So we packed it all up and took it to him. We had his birthday in the parking lot of Kohl's- presents, song, and cupcakes.

 

 Happy Birthday Daddy!

 

Miss B is a very fun girl to have at our house. She and her brother are forever playing and laughing.

They are awesome together.

 

She loves to put things over her head and walk around. It is funny to see her try to play with her toys with blankets, ribbons, and what not draped on her.

 

I took a shower. In the ten minutes I was not with them - they found the candy. Jamie helped himself to two candy bars and gave one to Brionney to enjoy. It took her thirty minutes but she finally ate her 100 Grand fun siaze candy bar. She was a mess! But as you can tell- she didn't mind at all.

Pinata

I amde this pinata when I was in eighth grade- 12 years ago. It's a lightbulb!

At first I was just so proud of it that I couldn't break it open.

 

 

It was packed away and I found it again! Still of full of candy ...

 



Jamie took a whack at it.

 



Mommy had a turn.

And Daddy finished it off!

We collected the candy and went inside.

The gum, when we did finally manage to crunch it, turned to powder in our mouths before turning into gum. The rest was hard as a rock.

In the end, none was salvagable and we had to throw it all away.

St. Patrick's Day

Uncle Ethan came to stay with us for St. Patrick's Day. While he was here we had a small visitor.

A leprecahn came to visit us. He left us some green snacks to eat throughout the day. Then he hid our left shoes around the house. Lucky us, Jamie was here to find them all for us.

 

In true holiday spirit, we had a green breakfast and dinner. We also made green jello cups.

It looked like an Irish Pub when dinner was over but we had a great day.

 

Happy St. Patrick's Day!!!
