Easter Sunday

I am going to start with the dying of the eater eggs.  Dying the eggs is half the fun! 

 Since our church isn't until 1 we did Easter in the morning.  The kids got to go a hunt around the living room looking for their baskets and candy filled eggs.

Any under here?

Then after all the eggs were found and we had lots and lots of sugar in our system it was time to start getting ready for church.  This was the big task of the day.  I thought it would be fun to do everyone's hair.  It was a good thing we go to afternoon church because all of the hair took a long time.  But it was worth it!

Here are the divas.... I mean girls.  I actually sewed these skirts myself.  I was pretty proud of myself if I do say so!

An d the whole gang.  Poor Cam didn't get any new church clothes but he did get new shoes!  wahoo new shoes!  Yeah, he didn't really care either.

 It was a great day!

Take A Hike!

Last Saturday Spring was in the air and we were getting the itch go outside and play.  I really wanted to go for a hike but figured there was still too much snow in the mountains.  So we decided we would go to Ensign Peak.  That is where Brigham Young proclaimed "This is the Place!".  It is a fairly short hike and not too steep.  (Not too steep that is unless you haven't hiked in forever and 200 ft in my calves were already burning!)  We all had a ton of fun and the view was amazing!  Of course I brought my camera and took some fun shots!

Moo's Birthday

My sweet Moo had her 9th birthday last week.  We didn't do a party with friends this year but we did have a family party. 

For her birthday dinner she wanted homemade pizza mmmmmm yummy!

After we were all stuffed with pizza she opened some presents

She got a weaving loom that I remember having when I was her age.  Here I was showing her how to weave the bands.  

And of course we sang Happy Birthday and then had some cake & ice cream.

Happy Birthday Moo! 

Green Eggs & Ham

On St. Patrick's Day we had our traditional meal of Green Eggs and Ham.  The kids love it and Paul tries really hard not to get sick.  There is something about eating green ham that your head tells you that you really shouldn't be eating this.  It was a lot of fun and really pretty tasty too! 

 

I do like them in a box.
I do like them with a fox.
I do like them in a house.
I do like them with a mouse.
I do like them here or there.
I do like them anywhere.
I do like green eggs and ham.
I do like them, Sam I am.
