Easter Weekend

This Easter weekend was a difficult one for me. This was the first year that my kids thought they were to "grown-up" to go to easter egg hunts. I hated it! On Saturday when all the Easter Egg hunts were going on....Ry was fishing and Ky was over playing at a friends house :(

Saturday night, after the kids got back from turtle hunting with the kids, we colored eggs together.

(Yes, Joel and the kids love to go out to the wetlands at night with flashlights. The light reflects off of their eyes and they can see a lot of little turtles ~ They are no longer allowed to bring creatures home from the wetlands! One time they brought home frogs....that croaked all night long. The kids were able to sleep through it....Joel and I couldn't. Needless to say the frogs went back to the wetlands very quickly!)

Sunday morning after the kids woke up to see their Easter stuff, we enjoyed breakfast together and then spent the morning relaxing, just hanging out together! It was great :)

Sunday afternoon we met at my mom's house for dinner. My cute grandma was having a rough day.... It is so hard to watch her slip away a little at a time. However, some of the stuff she says makes us laugh. After the kids hid the plastic eggs and toys for Bodee, we all watched him walk around in the snow picking up his treasures. Yep, sadly up on the Bountiful bench there was still a lot of snow. The older kids were not forgotten... They each walked away with an iTunes gift card and more Easter candy.

Later that evening we took dessert over to Joel's parents. We showed up with stuff to make strawberry shortcake, yummy!
