Easter

One of my absolute favorite things about Easter is coloring easter eggs. It is way too much fun for two little boys to have. They were green little monsters and it all went so quickly it was over in seconds. They were sure proud of their beautiful eggs.

These pics are real poor quality, but you get the idea of just how much fun we had!

Print each letter in your child's name on an index card. Lay them out to spell your child's name. Mix them up and have her try to put them back in the proper order.

Not quite as profound or beautiful as your selection Kara, but important none the less. It's called the name game. I haven't done this one yet. Maybe I should.

Evan shows a real intrest in animals and lucky for him Gramps & Gram Willy have all kinds. Our last visit we got to meet the new chickens and the boys had a ball chasing them around the yard and just loving them to pieces. I couldn't get enough of Dallin's chubby fingers holding tightly to a fluffy baby chick. Evan was buys training the chicks to do wild tricks, or so he thought. He picked one out and named it Turtle. We had to name one Dal's Pal and we think it might end up being a little "touched" thanks to Dallin's immense love and affection. Evan wanted to play with them all day long, but the little things are still trying to grow. I've never really been a big animal gal, but watching Evan's eyes twinkle whenever he gets to play with Grandma's pets I'm just dying to get him his very own puppy. Someday soon little buddy. First we need to get a backyard!

The Inner-Child

Matthew had a free Friday and decided he needed to get away. So, we went out to Brentwood. He always gets an itch to go hiking in the spring. It sure is beautiful with the green hills and wild flowers. We went for a nice stroll through Black Diamond with Matthew's parents. The boys loved exploring and finding all sorts of neat rocks and weeds. Evan was our tour guide with his expert map reading skills. Oh to see the world through the eyes of a child. What an adventure!

Extreme Makeover

Thanks to my superb photographer Evan we snapped some nice Before & After pictures of my big hair cut. It has been 10 months since my last hair cut and I decided to change things up a bit. I took a picture of Jennifer Garner with me and although I knew there was no way I could walk out looking as beautiful as her, I think it turned out awesome. Matthew has no clue so he will be pleasently surprised when gets home and finds some strange woman cooking his dinner.

Easter Eggs

We had a wonderful Primary Activity on Saturday with an Easter Egg Hunt. Evan could hardly go to sleep the night before because he was just soooooo excited for the hunt. I was surprised at how into it Dallin was, but he sure learns a lot by watching his brother. He just ran right out there and was swiping all the eggs he could find. He even snagged himself a well used tennis ball. Needless to say we have eggs all over the house and we get to re-enact the hunt all day long. I have many fond memories of wild easter egg hunts and I sure do love watching my boys creating their own fond memories.
