Easter Weekend

We went to our neighborhood Easter egg hunt on the Saturday before Easter. 

Darrell went with Tyler to "3-5 year old" area and I went with the girls to the "1-2 year old" area. 

 

Emily grabbed one egg at a time to put int her basket. 

 

Megan, on the other hand, put her basket down and grabbed whatever she could. 

 
 

Later that evening we dyed out Easter eggs. 

 
 
 

The girls wanted to participate also, but they were semi-accepting of a cup, a spoon, plastic eggs, coloring pages, crayons, some stickers and popcorn. 

 

Surprisingly it only took me 2 tries to get this picture of the kids on Easter Sunday.

Visitors

My sister Kimberly, her husband Sage and their son Kyle came in to town so they could attend a session of General Conference.  We were so excited to have them stay with us.  

Megan attached herself to Kimbo and wanted Kimbo to play with her the whole time. 

 

The kids had fun playing with the tent and tunnel. 

 

Darrell even got in on the action.  

 

Tyler and Kyle had a sleepover in the front room and loved it.  Even though the girls didn't participate in the sleeping portion, they loved playing on the sleeping bags.

 

Catching Up

It has been awhile since I've blogged, so this will be a random-type post to start getting caught up.

One Sunday night I got out our card table and a blanket.  The kids LOVED playing in their fort.




Even Daddy joined in the fun.

 

Tyler likes to stand behind the TV tray (it usually holds the newspaper) and have the girls come up to him.  I think he thinks that he is standing behind a counter at a restaurant or store.  Sometimes he'll even say, "Good morning, Brothers and Sisters" like he's conducting at church. 



One day the girls were hungry for popcorn before breakfast.  Here there are sitting down to eat their popcorn and chug their milk.



We've been storing the kids' bouncy balls in the garage.  Emily discovered them and they've had a blast playing with them.



I turned the big 4-0!  (I preferred making my cake instead of buying one because birthday cakes with "7-minute" frosting were tradition going up.  It turns out the kids and Darrell love the frosting as much as I do.)



The girls found the bag with training pants in it and wanted to wear them.  I put them on over their jammies.




Tyler joined them for a picture.

 

The girls both tried their hands at putting headbands in their hair.
