Happy Easter!

We forgot to add a few pictures of the kids from when we were on our trip

Do slide pictures even need any explanation?

 Lyza got to go on a date with Grandama

 Look at this Boss Baby with the TV remote in his hands

 Time for some reading

 With spring weather comes spring yard clean up. Mason is getting started early with the mowing

 Mason loves sitting up on this side table

 Free cones on the first day of spring at DQ. This is an annual tradition

 He was serious about his cone

 This boy LOVES playing with play dough

 This looks like a fun game

 Good job Nixon!

 She always enjoys playing with slime

 At the start of spring break we got to tour Lyza's class room and see some of the things she has been working on and learning. This note book was really cool. There is a picture and a sentence each day of the year. It was really fun seeing how Lyza's drawing and writing has progressed through the school year.

 Lyza showed us these cool things that help them sound out words

 There was a huge alphabet poster and Lyza started singing this song

I am convinced we have a monkey living in our house

 The bouncy house always puts smiles on their faces

Mason tried the big slide for the first time

Mason is ready to play some basketball

 Mason and I both look the same when we sleep after a long hard day. I will spare you the picture of me sleeping ;)

 The big kids did a community Easter egg hunt last Saturday

 Lyza won this prize somehow

 I took Nixon on a little date later that day and he wanted to go for a donuts.

 The kids looked AWESOME in their Easter outfits last Sunday

 Sometimes Mason sleeps with his legs hanging out of the crib

 That is one cool train track

 We made resurrection rolls for FHE this week 

 Our weekly moose sighting.

 Toy swaps make for happy kids, at least for a few hours after ;)

 The kids love playing with this hanging chair at their friends' house

 Kim and the kids made sugar cookies

 They then iced and decorated them

Playing down at the river (the dam is still open so the water is really low) 

 Cute bunch

 Check out how fast Nixon's feet move at the start of this video

Our neighbors got the kids some Easter gift baskets

 The soccer ball is a hit

 Mason went up and down this little slide so many times

 Conference Saturday

 I don't think Nixon wanted to be in this picture

 Fun at the park in between sessions while I took down the Christmas lights and killed the moss on our roof

Nixon's reaction to the surprises left by the Easter bunny this morning was unexpected

 

 She is ready to catch bugs

 Nixon is developing a decent transformer army

 Mason got to his bucket eventually

 This rocking horse is lots of fun

 The kids and I went for a bike ride and walk this afternoon after the first session of conference. We saw the 3 moose in the forest too!

 We also had a little egg hunt in the backyard

It was a special treat having General Conference on Easter weekend. It was also a very special and memorable conference. We hope you enjoyed it too. 

Take care
