Easter...

We celebrated Easter on Sat. (which is usually when we dye the eggs, do the Easter egg hunt and have a BBQ and then Sunday the Easter bunny comes and after church we focus on the spiritual part of Easter and have a nice dinner) Well this year we combined all festivities into one day since Jared flew out early Sunday morning to Hawaii for work for the week (yea, don't ask!) So the kids woke up at 5am to filled Easter Baskets... (not a good way to start the day!! I demand the Easter bunny come after dinner next time!) Jared made his famous yummy omelets and then caught up on a lot of yard work and put in edging in the back yard. We BBQ'd Ribs. Then the kids dyed eggs. Jared hid candy eggs for the hunt... (oh the kids did do an Easter egg hunt with the dyed eggs on Sunday... but Buster ate half of them! ha ha) Later, we watched "to this End was I born" and talked about the Atonement... it was a long day and jam packed... so here's a few pix from the day!

Sunday, I awoke to a true Easter Miracle! Brianne had not been good on Saturday and her Easter candy had been taken away and put up on top of the TV cabinet, well Easton and Kyler got into it and ate a lot of it.... well guess what Brianne did? she didn't scream, get mad... no, she forgave them!??? yes a true miracle!!!! (the boys had a a lot of time spent in the corner that day!)

I wanted to get a picture of the kids in their new Easter Sunday clothes...but this was the best I got, then the camera died and I realized we were late for church.... sitting on the front row with my 5 kids on Easter Sunday in Sacrament meeting...not the best experience, but the rest of church went great! (Thanks Megan for offering your help with my kids and Thanks Heidi for letting Easton sit with you!)

After church I tried again to get a GOOD picture of the kids... no such luck!!

I had an appointment scheduled on Monday to get the kids pictures taken... but lets just say, by Monday I just cancelled it!!!!!!
