Easter Morning

Easter morning started early.... The girls came into our room around 6am and were so excited to go right downstairs to see what the Easter Bunny brought them. We made them wait awhile in our bed (while we tried to get a little more sleep and wait for Logan to wake up.) We all headed down to see our Easter baskets and eat a quick breakfast before we headed to church.

Straight to the M&Ms

Logan got his first train track and LOVES it!

CHEESE!

We stopped for some photos on the way home from church. Too bad it was right in the middle of the day when the lighting is not so good. We had to find some shade and work with it.

Our best attempt at a family picture out in front of the church.

Happy Easter!

Easter Weekend Was Hoppin!!!

We had lots of fun this weekend! We went to a huge Easter Event put on by one of the churches in our community, had a blast with our wonderful friends at our ward's Easter breakfast and egg hunt, and colored Easter Eggs! Yes, we had way too much sugar, but LOTS of fun! Maybe the title of this post should have been COTTON CANDY!

We tried doing glitter eggs this year....

Logan with the "eggies" and of course his 2 Lightning McQueens!

The Egg Hunt!

Logan and Sophie know where to find the goods!

Playgroup pals!

The race is on! Logan knows there is candy in those eggs!

Where to begin?

I have been really bad about posting lately and my only excuse is this pregnancy! I am just too exhausted to stay up late and edit my pictures and "write in my journal." I sometimes try to do it during the day when Logan is busy playing, but as soon as he hears the keys on the keyboard typing..... he wants to be on my lap to see Lighning McQueen on the computer. (Thanks to daddy for discovering every character from the Cars movie on google.com) So, here I am playing catch up and it may take weeks, but I want to post the fun things my kids are doing before they grow up anymore before my eyes! With baby #4 coming in about 5 weeks too, I better get my act together before I REALLY have no time to post! I should probably start with most recent and then go back right? Well, here goes.....

Congratulations Tyler and Rebecca!

My brother Tyler just got engaged a few weeks ago and I am way behind on my postings so I want to first catch up by saying CONGRATULATIONS! We are so excited for your big day! They are getting married on August 22nd and then after the honeymoon they are heading off to a permanent honeymoon paradise on the North Shore of Oahu where they will go to school at BYU Hawaii! We are all JEALOUS!!! Yeah! We love you both!

Happy St. Patrick's Day!

Hope you didn't get pinched!

Family Time

We decided to do a last minute weekend getaway with the kids over President's Weekend and make some fun family memories. It's so cute to hear how EXCITED they get when we say we are going to stay in a hotel! The whole drive down to San Diego Ella and Avery would ask, "are we still in California?" Ella couldn't contain her excitement and made the cutest faces as she'd say, "I can't wait to go to San Diego!" So we headed down and stopped for a visit to see great grandmommy and daddy in Poway and even got to see aunt Kelly and uncle Ryan while we were there. Then we checked into our hotel and picked up CPK takeout for a fun family Valentine's Dinner. The girls loved sleeping on the sofabed in the living room of the hotel and playing hide and seek in every little spot they could find in our little 1 bedroom unit. We went to Balboa Park and took the kids to the science museum, walked around in the rain at the outdoor mall, fed the birds, ate at restaurants and just enjoyed being together. It was a fun Valentine's Weekend!

Ella and Daddy were a team and Avery and Mommy were a team

(can you tell how surprised Ella was to find Avery in the kitchen cupboard!)

The BEST hiding spot of all!

Be Mine!

Leaving for school with all their Valentine's to give out and so excited for the Valentine's Day Parties!
