Wrapping up the Past Week

What a busy and WONDERFUL week we had. Last Tuesday we went to the Easter Pageant with the Porters!! Holy Cow we owe them big time. They went 3 hours early and got 3 row seats for us!!! Thank you Porters!!!

Well we did buy them all DQ to say thank you for the awesome seats.

Ok so sometimes I wish I weren't so "manly" and "controling" but since I know what I want and do all the research, I sold our CR-V and bought our new van....yup a VAN. But guess what that means I'm just headed to that crazy time in life when I'm hauling kids everywhere and I'm so excited =) Bye- Bye CR-V......we had a GREAT 4 years together. You were very good to us.

Here is the new Beaut....we look forward to several years together!!

So you will notice we didn't take this crazy girl to the Pageant with us......for one, it started way past her bed time and second......she is the busiest 2 year old I know, just ask both our families, she is a pint size Tornado!!!!

Friday we went to the Mesa Southwest Museum with my preschool class. The kids had a good time. Ryker loved the T-Rex of course.

All the kids had a blast panning for gold. It was a great day.

Conference weekend and Easter Morning!!!! Ryker had to wait in bed with me for an hour before he checked out what the Easter Bunny brought him. We don't dare wake the Tornado up in the morning......we let her sleep as long as she can.

Amelia could care less about toys or games.....at 8:00am she wanted TREATS!! I let her eat like 2 or 3 than we moved on to some real breakfast.

He was so excited finding all the eggs around the house.

Ryker is just like his daddy and could care less about candy....he wants toys. He didn't eat his first piece of candy till late that afternoon and it was one starburst. Crazy Boy. But don't get me wrong HE LOVES cookies.

After the morning session of conference we went over to Nana and Pas for a breakfast brunch. Yum yum.....then Missy and I hide eggs all over the backyard for the munchkins. I hide one on the turtles back and it stayed on as he walked through the rocks.....Ryker finally spotted it.

Amelia doesn't understand the concept of Egg Hunting....she would find an egg, stop, open it and want to eat the candy right away....ok so I bet that is how I use to egg hunt......but we tried telling her to gather as many as she could, than eat the candy. Nope...she did it her way.

We watch the afternoon session then raced off to Grannie Annie and Bompa Jess' house, as we do every conference. We had a pot luck dinner, played a little baseball (well tried to teach the little kids how), then we gather in a circle to share our favorite thought or talk from conference.

Amelia was a mess by the time we left.....but she had so much fun running around with all the great-grandkids.

Ryker was in snail heaven....... he loves little bugs and insects and they found dozens of snails in my Bompa's garden.

Bompa Jess finding snails with the little ones. Bompa Jess turned 84 this year and I think he is still in better shape than me =)

Thanks to all the Family and Friends who make life so much fun!!!
