Happy Easter

The secret to drinking tea is to stick your pinky finger up 

 We love it when grocery stores have free fruit for kids

 For Family Home Evening we had a lesson about Easter and part of that was making resurrection rolls

 While they were cooking we had an Easter lesson talking about the atonement and resurrection

 Then it was time for desert

 Nixon was upset that his marshmallow was gone

Preschool this week was about bugs. Lyza was in heaven

 Here she is lecturing the other students about the difference between insects and spiders

 Finger painting bugs

 The kids have been enjoying playing Go Fish lately

 It can get pretty intense, even when they can see each other's cards

Mason is getting pretty close to standing and really wants to do it on his own

Me and my little guy

 This guy knows how to have fun!

 Nixon thinks he can just wear underwear around the house

 And even on the trampoline

 Lyza learned how to ride a two-wheeler all on her own!

Not only does Mason want to be able to stand, he also wants to walk 

 Nixon isn't always the most supportive

Mason would rather dance than walk

Kim has been keeping the kids busy with Easter activities

 They went to an Easter egg hunt/petting zoo on Friday

 We aren't sure why he doesn't want to sleep in pajamas

 The kids (including Spider Man) did another 2 egg hunts on Saturday

 While I was diverting irrigation lines so they wouldn't interfere with our patio

 While I was working the kids were playing, which is par for the course

 The robins have been loving the on and off rain because there have been lots of worms in the yard 

 The Easter bunny brought the boys matching ties for Easter

 We didn't want Lyza to feel left out ;)

 Silly girl

 There were some Easter surprises for the kids on Sunday morning

I really love Nixon's reaction

 Mason remembers the hula hoop

 Who knew they made Spider Man hats?

 We had a nice breakfast together

 The boys had a bath together before church

 Matching for church

 Someone told me that I should have come to church in bare feet to completely match. Maybe next time

 We tried to get a nice picture of the kids together after church. They were acting pretty silly

 We did another egg hunt Sunday afternoon with another family

 Mason liked his egg

 I am not sure if Lyza is hunting or frolicking

 Comparing the loot

We had a wonderful Easter together and were spoiled with beautiful weather on Saturday and Sunday

Spring, spring, spring

The men of the house hanging out

 The kids got some Easter goodies from Grandma Bullock

 They were really excited

 The Easter bunny is a super hero, right?

Mason loves this sock puppet he got

 

Dot to dots are so much fun

 Mason loves getting into cupboards and pulling everything out

 Lyza attempting to hold the squirmy Mason 

 talking on the phone and Mason is waiving to the camera

 Nixon got this crazy rash this week...lots of fun

 Greeting Nixon after work

 Lyza and Kim went on a date together to the grocery store

 Kim and the kids tried to fly kites, but the wind wasn't consistent enough

 I got some good snuggles with Mason

 I have been working hard all week taking our patio apart and digging it down so I can lay a proper foundation. Nixon is always willing to help, even if I don't really want him to ;) 

 He found a beetle

 I now have a blank canvas to work with

I took the kids for a bike ride yesterday and they each had so much fun

Nixon likes to go down hills as fast as possible

Lyza's balance on her balance bike had really improved

 We played some "eye spy" during dinner last night and had lots of fun

 Here is Mason wearing his cute new outfit from Grandma and Grandpa Keyes

Here is a cute video of our little boys playing pass with a car (not really the safest thing to be throwing at a 9 month old kid)

That's all for now. Take care!
