Hoppy Easter!

Yes, it is 10:30 and yes, we have already been to two Easter Egg Hunts and have one more to go to at lunch.
We are egg hunting maniacs or candy maniacs!

The anticipation is the best!!! Centerville City Egg Hunt
It is all in the "strategery". Where to run to first? Stay close or go far? Any prizes? Money eggs?


Tyler thought the basket I brought for him was too small so he quickly revised and took one of my grocery bags I had in the van. Much bigger and mo' better!

Christian was too little last year. It was good to see some life in him this year. I just kept saying "Clean up, clean up" and he kept picking those eggs up.

Christian's Loot

Brigham did great as well.

Bountiful City Egg Hunt- Our first time
Notice: Christian's mouth is already full of candy as he waits to get more candy.

"Clean up, clean up"

In Bountiful, we saw the Easter Bunny. Katelyn was quick to investigate and whispered in my ear as to not ruin it for the boys. "Mom, the Easter Bunny is a girl".
Christian wasn't too interested.

JNB: First Bath

Love those sponge baths before their belly button falls of! We tried to get the bathroom nice and toasty so she wouldn't freeze. It is always a fast process, but she didn't seem to get to upset. The boys were fascinated to watch and Tyler was a great photographer.

 

Christian's 2nd Birthday

We started off the morning with singing "Happy Birthday to You" over and over again because it is C's favorite song to sing right now.
He got a cool flashlight from Gma&Gpa- Thank you!

Our home teacher brought him some candy that he devoured.

We went to IHOP for his birthdy dinner (and for mom).

At IHOP, we sang "Happy Birthday" again and they gave him some ice cream. He wanted to eat the whip cream with no spoon.

Came home and had cupcakes and lit lots of candles.

What do you give the 2 year old that has every toy already?
A new yellow ball!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY PUPPY!

We love having Christian in our family when he isn't naughty!
At 2 years old Christian loves...
his Dad, riding bikes, playing outside, feeding the ducks, throwing everything, jumping off the couch, standing on the table, playing at McDonalds, helping with laundry, eating sugar, to help his dad work, play with his brothers and sisters, have his back scratched to go to sleep, to read the picture story of Jesus coming to the Americas.

Ty's Injury

On Tuesday, 3.29.11, after school Tyler was playing with a neighbor boy, Alex, and crashed on Katelyn's bike. He was pulling Alex in the Burley trailer and with the speed they picked up by starting at the top of the street Tyler jacknifed when he hit the drive way and ... CRASH...broken arm. OUCH!


XRAY: Both bones broken in his left forearm.


Very excited to get his cast. He chose black. He will have this full cast on for a little over a week. Then we go back in to have that one cut off and another xray. Hopefully, everything will look great and then he gets a shorter cast for the next haul.

St. Patty's Day

We always do breakfast for dinner! Green waffles, green eggs & ham, and a leprechaun peed in our milk and turned it green (according to Tyler).

Marriage: Is what brings us togever today!

Mike's brother Brent got married this past weekend. It was fun to get together and see lots of family. Here are some random pics I had on my camera.
Congrats to Brent & Lori!
