Happy Easter

The kid's didn't have school on friday because of "good friday" so we went to the mall and saw "Hester" the Bunny and her friends. They did a little musical program and my kids loved it. The look on Olivia's face is pure terror over this bunny. She was not happy about being that close to Hester:)


(I can't get this picture to move down so they are a little out of order.)

The annual egg dying, a family favorite!

Monster Eggs!
Our ward usually does an Easter Egg hunt but decided not to this year. I knew I wanted to do an egg hunt and so my friend Amanda and I put together a egg hunt/picnic on Saturday.
The weather was great and it was so much fun.





EASTER SUNDAY





I Love these kiddo's!

it's FUN to RUN!

Thanks to everyone who supported these stud's on their FUN RUN! They had so much fun and ran their little hearts out.
This is Logan's class, Logan's on the second row.


Logan went in spurts of running and walking, he did awesome!


Olivia had a pompom and cheered, "Go GAGA!" Whenever she could spot him.

Porter was probably more pumped about this run than anything. He ran the entire time, which was about 10 minutes and loved every minute of it!


Porter with some of his buddies. They are such a cute group of boys.


Porter's class!

Pushin' through!

At the begining the kids were really clustered and this boy tripped in front of Porter and Porter tripped over him and then another boy tripped over Porter. They all got right back up and kept running.

A little bit of this and a little bit of that

Brandon took the boys to an animal presentation and they were able to touch this baby Alligator.
We went mini golfing with our kids and some of our friends. It was crazy! But it was a lot of fun!
The day I found my camera the boys playing Guess Who?

Our family is starting the first steps to becoming Ohioans. We've done this drill a fair amount of times and you would think that it would be easy at this point. Well the truth is it's not! We had decided to rent and went down to Ohio and looked at houses. The last house we saw was pretty much our dream house, with a few exclusions. So we came home and tried to get this house out of our heads, we needed to rent darn it. After failing miserbly at trying to forget the house we decided to put in an offer and are waiting patiently for all the financing mumbo jumbo to go through:) So that's where we are with that. All other decisions and things that we need to do rest solely on the house being bought. So as our patience is being tested we put a smile on our face and say, "yes we are so excited to be moving and staying longer than 3 years." Because we are. We're just stressed, anxious and excited all in the same breath.

Last week was our Spring Break and we stayed here in Michigan and just hung out as a family. I love the stage that my kids are all in right now. They had friends who were going to Disney World, or to the beaches in South Carolina and they didn't complain at all that they didn't get to go do something cool like that. They loved everything that we did here and we had so much fun together. I (or my kids) lost my camera and so I didn't take any pictures but we went to the movie, I took the boys bowling, we went to the zoo, watched Harry Potter and the Chambers of Secrets, played a little Wii Fit to pretend the weather was nice enough to go bike riding, it was just fun. I found my camera on Sunday and took a couple of pictures of my fantastic kids.
