Is it April already?! Easter was last weekend and we had a blast celebrating with the kids. It started out when Jaxson and Avery had an Easter egg hunt and edible craft at preschool. I was 5 minutes late and missed Avery grabbing her eggs :( but I did get to see her right after she had picked them up and was so excited. I love the excitement and genuine happiness kids show!

Craft time! It was a cute sugar cookie basket with green frosting, jelly beans, and a licorice handle.
Jaxson's class age group was a pro at collecting eggs.
Jaxon's class (Ms. Coco's leaping lizards). I don't know the names of all the kids in Jaxson's class ... But there is a Lilian, Lachlan, Grant, Aliea, Towns, Riley
Done and ready to eat!
One of the ladies in a nearby ward does a big Easter egg hunt at her house on Good Friday, so we headed up to her house.
Ready to hunt eggs
Listening to the instructions...
The lady in charge asked who was ready, and Avery yelled, "Me!!"
The loot
We dyed Easter eggs on Saturday while watching Conference. We tried the traditional water/dye method, and a rice/food coloring method.
Happy kids!
Egg hunt #3 - neighborhood party.
Jaxson got two, 50 cent coins and a $2 bill in his eggs - cool!!
Easter morning. Although the Easter bunny found us, we know the real reason we celebrate Easter. We believe that Jesus Christ lives! He was sent to this earth by our loving Heavenly Father over 2000 years ago. He set the perfect example for us to follow,he atoned for our sins, and He was resurrected. Because he was resurrected, we will all be given that gift after we die. I am grateful for his Atoning sacrifice for me and my family because I know that if we repent of our sins and live good lives, we can live with our Heavenly Father and our families again. If you have more questions about my faith, please don't hesitate to ask!
Basket heads
Avery helping me make a trifle for dessert.
Oreos, brownies, mini eggs, vanilla cream - ooooooo I am sad it is all gone :(
This is how I love watching conference. Snuggling with my babe.
The day after Easter was Zach's birthday (a family friend). For over a year, Zach has been asking Ryan to buy him Sesame Street All Star Band - its a toy from 1991. We found it on ebay and made Zach's dream come true - it was so cute to watch him open it and get excited.
We are still working on tummy time - he doesn't love it, but is getting better.
Playing with the melting beads the Easter bunny gave them.
Blowing on the shape after I ironed it to cool it down.
Yesterday I was sorting through etsy/craft things because I am trying to sell my inventory - I am not reopening it because it takes too much time and I want to spend it with my babies!! Anway, Avery came in dressed like this, and I asked if she was Mario - she said, "Nope, I Avery!" Then she asked me to take a picture of her.
Then she asked me to take a picture with her sad face. Haha, Cute girl!
