While we were in Texas, my dad took some pictures of the kids in their Easter outfits and man oh man, they are cute!

Thanks Grandpa!

Coloring eggs this year almost gave me a heart attack. My sweet little Logan is such a spazz and when he’s excited he’s ten times more spastic! My hand has been blue for a couple of hours because he got so excited about putting an egg in the blue water, that he just dropped it in and the water spilled over the side, right onto my hand. But it’s all okay, because I thought ahead and had Jeffy get an old vinyl tablecloth to lay on the table and boy was I glad we did. We were wiping up spilled colored water left and right! But the kids had fun and really we both did too, but man, the things you go through for memories!!








The finished products!

(I just noticed that in a lot of these pictures, my kids look they’ve been drinking the colored water…what’s up with their eyes?)

Isnt’ it awesome!?

It wasn’t really a weekend, now that I think about it. Emily and Spencer went down to Bryce for a few days so we got to have cute Ashlee at our house while they were gone. The kids had a lot of fun and by Wednesday, I think I was getting used to having three kids in the house. Ashlee is darling and has such a vivid imagination! The kids had a lot of fun playing with my exercise ball and trying to lift it above their heads.

Then they would drop it and laugh hysterically if it hit one of them in the head.
They had breakfast on the bar the first morning, and there was too much spilled milk that we didn’t do that again. But aren’t they cute?

It was a lot of fun having Ashlee stay with us. Thanks Ashlee!

We were invited to a fun little scavenger hunt birthday party (for adults) a couple of weeks ago and we were given a list of items to find, and we needed to get a picture of each item with one of the people in our team with it. Each item was worth a different number of points, depending on the difficulty. The first one on the list was “A picture in front of Wendys”. Okay, well, we only had like an hour and then some to get this done, so we didn’t have time to drive there and back. But luckily, I am married to Jeffy, who is one who thinks ‘outside’ the box. So, he suggested we get two ladies in our ward named Wendy and get a picture in front of them. Get it? Well, we got a hold of Wendy Sorensen and asked her if she wanted to help us and she’s totally awesome and of course said yes. So, she followed us over to our neighbors house to see if Wendy Ivey was home. She wasn’t so we went over to Wendy Johnson’s home and she wasn’t home either. Oh no! But wait…what if we took a picture of Wendy Sorensen, pointing to a picture of Wendy Johnson and stood in front of them? We did and it worked!!

We smoked the competition in the hunt and took first place. It was a good time!

I don’t know about the rest of you, but every once and awhile, I REALLY enjoy doing absolutely nothing. I’m a busy body so this doesn’t suit me most of the time, but I can just kick back if the situation merits it. A couple of weeks ago on a Friday, we had gone to Lindsay’s gymnastics, had a fun, active lunch at McDonald’s and driven for like 10 hours there and back, so when we got home, we were all exhausted. So, we popped in a movie and lounged on the couch. This is how Logan felt:

Killer on the neck! He wasn’t too happy when he woke up so I laid him down and he fell right back asleep. Lindsay on the other hand, is a lot like me and can be a busy body sometimes, and she wasn’t as excited to just kick back like Logan and I were. She watched most of the movie sitting with me and then she wanted to get up and dance. See?

She’s such a cutie. She danced for a few minutes and then was content enough to come sit back down and we settled down with a blanket and some goldfish. It was a good afternoon.

Logan is such a fun kid! He will do anything for a laugh and often times cracks himself up along the way. We have a basket of toys I keep downstairs just for when the kids want to hang out down there with me and Logan decided to get in it and then Laney put all the toys back in. Too cute!

I just love his face!

Okay, so I know I haven’t updated the blog very much lately and for that, I apologize. I didn’t really feel like we had done anything blog worthy, but then I pulled the camera out today and discovered that not only have we done some things, but my kids have been incredibly CUTE the whole time. So, now I share those incredibly cute moments. Enjoy.

(And because of my OCD, I can’t just add them to this post. Welcome to my world.)
