Finding their Easter Baskets

I’ll have to do some speed blogging to catch up…  no picture editing or spell checking (not that I do much editing anyway), just keeping the memories

 

What a wonderful Easter with these sweeties!

Since the girls found out about Santa last Christmas, figuring out the Easter Bunny was bound to come next…  Now, they have one Easter tip, to hide their Easter Baskets harder, lol (they love a challenge).  Growing up, my  mom hid our baskets each year until we moved out, I’m sure I’ll keep that tradition.

 

So we hid them good… and they looked hard.

Sage found hers first, behind my mirror (well, there are only so many places you can hide a basket) 

Score!

We just returned from Spring Break, so their baskets were quite simple, but they didn’t seem to mind, or notice :)

 

Sophie was finally hot with her searching and climbing

She found hers in the office

Trevor’s turn

He’s lukewarm

Ha,ha, he found his out on the grill

What a nice day celebrating Jesus’ resurrection!  The best part for me was attending church, the uplifting talks, and hearing my husband sing a solo for the musical number.  He sang “Peace, I Leave With You” from John 14:27.  I had to hold back the tears.  The ward loved it and most of them let him know.  Great job baby!!  It added so much to our meeting today! 

Thanks Mom B. and D. and Uncle Mike for coming!

Hope everyone had a peaceful Easter

Sophie and Sage’s Birthday Carnival…

My babies are turning 9!  Not babies anymore

Sweet Sophie and Sage asked for a carnival birthday, so now that I’m not working (as much), we had time to plan a fun home party, the best!

They had a great time with friends in our private backyard carnival

Bean Bag Toss

Gunny Sac Race

Balloon Toss

Waiting for the last girls to do the Hoop Shoot.

Such a fun group of friends- from soccer, school, old neighborhood, and new neighborhood.  They all had a great time and blended well

Circus Peanut Game, a great age to start games like this

Josh shaped balloons and Jessi (his “unofficial” girlfriend) did face painting

Birthday wishes for our sweet girls! 

Sophie on right, Sage left (looking stoic, in deep thought) 

We celebrated a week late since they had soccer try outs on their B-day.  What a fun filled day, one more b-day post coming, can’t fit on one post :)   

Spring Fever

64 degrees today.  Counting down the days ‘til Spring!

Sunday Walk

Paul told Bruno to sit for the picture, so he did… facing the wrong way.  LOL

Yes, we have a pink dog, ask Sophie...  She got a little carried away the other day while adding highlights to his ears & tail. 

Josh, Trevor, Sage, Sophie

Since when has Trevor (13), my youngest boy, been taller then me??  He’s shot right up this year

Don’t let go Josh!  Big brother’s the bomb!

Two things I like most about our new home are the jogging/ biking trails, and a nice size kitchen.  I’ve been so busy this is my first time on the trail, not exactly dressed for jogging, but I can’t wait to start using it, so close I have no excuses now!  At least I’ve broken in my new kitchen and made some yummy entrees, I guess you know where my priorities are?

Happy Spring!
