Happy Easter

Easter was so much fun. The Easter bunny brought Gk a basketball hoop! He was so excited when he saw it. We also got The Blindside, some candy, some root beer, bubbles and more candy!

We went to Jenn & Brandon's house for an Easter brunch. We ate SO much food. Being pregnant I shouldn't be involved in the menu, everything sounds so yummy! We had a lot of fun. We played a lot and ate a lot. We went to the park and ruined Brandon's kite he got from the Easter bunny ~ Sorry~ GK doesn't know how to hold on very well! It was sure fun when it lasted though!

After we went to my Mom & Dad's house and took a nap. We were so tired! Wendi's family came over and it was so good to see them! They hadn't seen GK in a long time. I hadn't seen them since last September, I think! I hope we can see them more often. Gk was so sweet playing the piano with my Mom. She would play and he would sing along.

My parents made a huge delicious dinner, I think I am still full. GK just couldn't get enough of his cousins. He would drag them into the laundry room and push all the buttons while they kept it from actually turning on. Braden was so patient with GK, it was so cute to see them playing together. We had such a fun Easter, it was nice to get home and have some time to relax.

Easter Egg Hunts

I really wanted to take GK on an Easter egg hunt this year, mostly to see if he can hold his own. Our Smith's had one but we just missed it. So we went to Bluffdale City, the Lion's Club was putting one on. It was Super cold but it was a fun place for an easter egg hunt. Patrick had never been to an easter egg hunt like this before, he always just went to his Aunt Drylee's house. I was so glad he went! (I needed him to take pictures;>) When they started we ran to where there were a few and grabbed them and left. GK and I are just getting over colds and it was freezing.

And we knew that there was going to be another Easter egg hunt at Aunt Shell's house that night. GK got so much candy and some money too! Patrick hid and egg that nobody could find. He actually buried it and less than an inch of it was showing. It was a lot of fun. We also celebrated Lyndsey's birthday, but I didn't get a single picture of her... Sorry Lyndsey. We did go to Rod Works for their 50% off one item sale. We all got some good stuff but we barely all made it home in one trip.

GK is getting so big and more and more fun every day! He just loves all of his cousins!

A little while ago we took D'Ohgee and Yogi for a walk on the Jordan Walkway. It was such a nice day and we all needed to go out and enjoy it. Well, the Jordan Walkway is pretty much tore up in just about every direction you go out here. They are preparing for a bunch of new roads (YAY!!), but it's a bummer for the walkway. We got a little ways, then we saw a nice park to play and have lunch. I just love picnics. Brandon, GK, and Patrick had a blast playing soccer. Jenn and I tried to get some sun on our legs.

Then a few days later we dyed some easter eggs. It was such a mess! I don't know if we will do this again for a while. Then we tried to make some sugar cookies and they were really scary, but they still tasted yummy.. All well. Better luck next time!

Easter Sunday

 

On Easter Morning we woke up and had a yummy breakfast. G.K. was such a big helper with the waffle mix. Then we found our Easter baskets. (I only got a picture of G.K.'s) The Easter bunny also brought Patrick some shorts and beef jerky, and he brought me a new shirt and an itunes gift card and some candy of course! G.K. got me a cute necklace and bracelet!

We went to church (well sacrament meeting) then we went home to change and to the backyard to fly our new kites that the Easter bunny brought! I learned that I really don't know how to fly a kite without running around like a madman! 

 

Jenn, Brandon, and Yogi came over and brought a yummy Easter dinner. We went to the park to try out the kites then we took a little walk. It was nice because we were all so full. Jenn is so cute she brought eggs for the dogs to have an Easter Egg hunt too! Yogi is really good at cracking the eggs open to get the cheese. D'Ohgee isn't so smart, Jenn opened up most of hers for her. After the dogs hunted we cut out and decorated sugar cookies, but we ate Michelle's cookies because they are so yummy! I have been craving those like crazy and now that Lent is over I was able to enjoy them! We had such a fun Easter. It wasn't too busy but it was a lot of fun. I tried to tell G.K. the meaning of Easter when I put him to bed (it was his bedtime story). I think I need to find a way to keep the true meanings of these Holidays more prominent than the candy, I guess I have a little while before G.K. will really understand. But if anyone has any ideas let me know!

Easter

 

On Saturday we had dinner and an Easter egg hunt at Adam and Lyndsey's house.

G.K. really just wanted to play in the grass but he really liked the treats that Grandma & Grandpa got him. 

 After we went to visit My parents hoping to catch Jodi and her family, but they didn't make it.

It was really fun to see them. My Mom made a really yummy dessert and she sent us home with some cookies!

Easter

Last weekend we had so much fun it has taken me until today to recuperate!  On Friday we went with T.J. and Kim to a Utah Blaze game.  They got tickets from work and the seats were really good.  On Saturday we had tickets to see Terry Fator in Wendover, we bought them about 2 or 3 months ago and didn't realize it was Easter weekend. It was so much fun. He won America's Got Talent, and has a show in Vegas. Then on Sunday we went to see my Mom and Dad, Wendi & Dennis were there too so it was really good to see them. Then we went to Brandon and Jenn's house for our yummy Easter Dinner. Jenn pretty much made the whole dinner my job was the dessert and it didn't turn. My stomach still hurts from laughing. Yogi's little incident was a nice distraction though.  Thanks everyone for a way fun Easter weekend!
