On the Hunt

I love Easter - the candy, the easter hats, the egg hunts, the new dresses - but not so much that it overwhelms the true meaning of the holiday. I like it simple and sweet.

We had lots of fun at the ward egg hunt (although you wouldn't know it from the looks on their faces), on a beautiful saturday morning!

Later, I dressed the kiddies up, and made them say cheese fifteen million times (you can tell by their expressions). And all they got was a juice box out of it! We did stop to pick daisies and play a bit. It was so nice, I didn't even care about the pollen - we stayed out all day. It's amazing what I am willing to do for sunshine.

Do you not love Sam's hat? I love his hat.

Yep, Chad had definitely had enough.

Growth

This week's theme is GROWTH. Aubrey spent one afternoon playing dress up in her Tinkerbell costume. I couldn't help but think her Tinkerbell days are numbered, making this moment all the sweeter for me.

And just to show how much she has grown in the last two and a half years, this is another dress up pic from November of '08. It goes too fast!

Strange

I was a little EXCITED (P52 theme, week 14) and a bit confused to see my kiddies want to sit so close (all opting to sit on one chair) while watching TV. Immediately following this photo, Sam came to his senses and ran to another chair. Just a fleeting moment.
