Easter Weekend

As soon as Tyson could leave school Friday we headed to Idaho for Easter weekend.  The boys love playing with their Idaho cousins and love all of Grandma Allen's toys!  There were several fights over the car and toolbox and I remember fighting over those same toys as a kid.
Saturday we colored eggs.  Callan was so excited!  Although he didn't last long because he kept plopping the eggs in different colors to make them splash.  

The older girls got all kinds of creative with their eggs.
I will smile, but I will not take my eyes off that egg!
Cassidy had some awesome marker creations.
After they all dried we had an egg hunt at Austin & Kim's house.


Callan was asleep while the eggs dried so he missed lunch.  When he finally got to sit down with his eggs he started peeling them as fast as he could! He was starving and wanted to eat them so bad!  I had to run and find him something else to eat to keep him from destroying all the eggs!

Feeding Scout


We even got to have a glow in the dark Easter egg hunt!  The kids loved the glow sticks inside the eggs!
We headed home to Utah Saturday night after our chicken noodle soup.  We stopped at a gas station in Malta that happened to have the ugliest alpacas ever.  The kids thought it was pretty fun to feed them, but I didn't take any pictures!

Pre-Easter Activities

The weekend before Easter we had a ward Easter breakfast.  It was 70 degrees the week before, but that day we woke up to snow!
 The Easter egg hunt was inside and the boys loved it!  Easton was so cute to hold Callan's hand and lead him over to where the eggs were.  That only lasted until the Bishop said GO!


 After the breakfast Easton got to go to the Robin Hood play at the children's theater with aunties.  He loved it!  Tyson asked him if the King was in it and he said, "No, King Richard was away from England at the time so Prince John was in charge."  He was especially impressed with how the swords folded in when they stabbed each other.  Nice.  While he was gone, Callan and I got to go to Miriam's baby shower.  He was soooo tired he didn't quite make it there.  I don't know why I love pictures of the kids sleeping.
 Amanda had a great idea to take the kids to Cheap Shots in Spanish Fork for their Easter Mini Sessions.  They had a blast playing in the play area together and of course holding the bunnies!






St. Patrick's Day

Oh boy.  It's been a while.  Here comes a whole bunch of catch up blogging!

Easton was so excited to eat Lucky Charms on St. Patrick's Day morning!  It was a Sunday so it was kind of a challenge finding green to wear to church!

 We went to Payson for dinner and also celebrated Max's first birthday which was March 18th.  I made him a meatloaf and we sang to him.  I think he liked it.


We went to Old Grandma and Grandpa Page's and enjoyed leprechaun rainbow sherbert floats!  These cousins sure love to be together!
