Easter Weekend

Toquerville Easter Weekend

 
We've started a little tradition to do Easter down at my moms (lets face it I use any excuse to go 'home':) last year we weren't able to go because Miss Shay was only a few days old! However we were able to go this year and my sister Chelly and her family was too. It was such awesome weather! We had so much fun all week! It was neat to celebrate Christ's Resurrection as a family and see our children gain a little bit more understanding than the year before!
 
Saturday we were able to meet up with a ton of our extended family at the orchard and have a huge egg hunt! Mason TOTALLY got it this year. He literally ran around scream "MORE EGGS YEAH!" it was hilarious... Then there's Aiden, he'd walk right past them and ask his dad "where are some?" They made us laugh the whole time! Shay could have cared less, she sit and chilled among the family as mason snuck her candy (that seems to be his thing:).  It was such a fun day!
 
Then Easter Morning the kids woke up so excited to find their baskets that the Easter Bunny had left, so to find he'd left some eggs behind too! The hunt the morning was a little chilly and Mason and Aiden quickly realized how cold the wet grass was with no shoes and came running back:)
 
The got them dressed for church it the Easter clothes and as always my dreams for all these lovely pictures... faded. It all started and ended with Aiden's sweet, sweet attitude:) UGH! I eventually gave up and realized I may never get the results I do for my clients with my own children. OH WELL!
 
Church was awesome, being with my sister, mom, aunts, grandma and cousins is always such a great time. I truly come from some of the best 'stock' :) there is! I love, love, love my family I come from and now the one I have of my own!
 
It was a perfect weekend!
 
Happy Easter!

Forever Brothers

I never know what I'm going to find at night with these boys when I go to check on them before I go to bed....
 
 
They keep me on my toes
The constantly surprise me
They continually make me laugh
They challenge me as a mom
 
They are without a doubt each others best friends
 
I heard Mason's telling Aiden the other day, that the were "forever brothers, because they went to the temple"
 
Melt my heart!

Living Aquarium

On a crazy storm day this winter we decided to meet Cookie and Bill at the Living Aquarium. It was crazy driving weather but once we finally made it the kids had so much fun! They were running from tank to tank! We even lost Aiden for a second because of his "running" ah!
It was such a fun day, I love witnessing my kids do new things!

A weekend in T-Town

Seth had a conference down in St.George a few weekends ago so we decided to all go down and I could spend some time with my mama:) It was an awesome weekend. The weather was amazing and made me wish for spring to come even more than I already was. We took the kids to Zions, went down to the orchard and cracked pecan nuts with my aunts and Grams, watched the Superbowl with the whole family, ate great food, went out to dinner for my Aunt Jan's birthday.. then we even stayed a day longer and took a fun 4-wheeler ride with the boys Monday morning (well Mason requested the golf cart so I drove that:). The whole trip was just what we needed as always! 

(in Zions I tried to take a picture myself with each of my kids since Seth wasn't around to help take shots... you can tell which one of the kids wasn't too jazzed about the idea:)
