Easter 2011

My kids love to dye Easter eggs and thanks to Grandma, they were able to do that this year.

And a thanks to Grandma and Grandpa for the Easter egg hunt and for the guys who hid the eggs for the kids. They love this activity and could do it over and over.

And for the famous, but sometimes dreaded Easter Sunday Pictures:

For me, it is so hard to get a good picuture of all three kids. You wouldn't think it would be too hard, but for some reason, it is!

HAPPY EASTER!

For the 4th Time

Today is Jenna's 4th birthday! I know what you are thinking, "didn't she just her 3rd birthday?" And yes, but she just keeps getting bigger and growing up way too fast. Again, I tried to skip this birthday and not let my little girl turn 4 yet, but she really wanted to be four, so as time would have it, she celebrated another birthday. We celebrated on Saturday and Jenna had a great day. It started out by Ryan and I giving her our present to her:

Then she decorated her cake before the guests arrived:

Family came over to celebrate with us and Jenna opened gifts... Blew out candles: And had an Easter Egg Hung: HAPPY BIRTHDAY, JENNA! You are a sweet, beautiful girl! We love you so much!

Temple Grounds

Our Stake Presidentcy encouraged each of us to attend the temple this week and/or go with our families to the temple grounds in preparation for Stake Conference on Sunday. Last night our neighbors invited us to go with them and walked around the beautiful, breath taking temple grounds. It was a very enjoyable evening.

On the bench where Ryan proposed to me almost 9 years ago.

Seven Times

It happened again, and you would think that I would get used to it after seven times, but I haven't gotten to it at all. In fact, I tried to skip it this year, but Adam wouldn't let that happen. Yep, Adam's SEVEN!!! I know you're thinking what I've been thinking, "How did that happen" "Where did the time go" "How can he be seven, it seems like he was just born!" I'm having a hard time believing that he had another birthday. Adam was so excited about his birthday! The train tunnel he got...

Last year Adam decorated his own cake so now he wants to do it every year...and why not? You can have your cake and decorate it too when you're seven.

Final project. Lady-his favorite train.

For the seventh time, HAPPY BIRTHDAY, ADAM! We love you and so happy you are apart of our lives!

Spring time?

We had one really great day last week...temperature in the 60's. And we all had a smile on our face like this: We spent a lot of our day outside and had a great time! We love the warmer weather and can't wait for it to be consistent. (We all got sun burnt. I do this every year, no sunscreen when we first come out of hibernation. You would think I would learn.)

(Jenna is becoming a much better driver. She loves to take the neighbor boys out for a ride or have them chase her because they want a turn.)
