Egg Hunt!

We had our annual Easter Egg Hunt on Saturday and it turned out great. I couldn't have asked for more perfect weather, there were no bugs and I love having our friends get together. Cooper had been walking around with his basket for week saying how he was going to put eggs in his basket and get "lots". He could not have cared less last year so it was fun for him to be excited about it.

We let the tiny kids go ahead for a minute so they had a chance to get some too


Time for the big kids. And they're off!

Megan's amazing Easter cake. Seriously, it was so good and looked awesome.

Grandparent Visit Number 2!

My other grandparents were here this past weekend and we had a great time. My dad and them took the kids to the park for a few hours so I could get ready for the Egg hunt and Addison said they had a lot of fun. They fed the turtles, took a walk and played on the multiple playgrounds.






Apparently Cooper wanted to do this all by himself and I think he did it. He was pretty happy about it.

Racing each other. I think Addison won ; )

Easter Eggs

We went to our friends house to dye Easter Eggs like we do every year. The kids love it. Of course I forgot my eggs because I've been having mental difficulties lately but luckily Tami made a ton. Cooper really got into it this year. It's so much fun as he gets older and really gets the stuff we do.

Pretty, girly egg



He loved the silly face stickers

Everybody busy at work

After seeing Addison eat an egg, Cooper wanted to try one but after one bite he had had enough. He was disgusted by the thought of eating another bite apparently.

I got a cute mold for jello jigglers and after a few messy ones, these came out pretty cute and the kids thought they were awesome.

Grandparent Visit Number 1

My grandparents came to visit last week and we had a lot of fun. I took Addison out of school an hour early so we could get some time at the park. It was a beautiful day and everyone had a great time.

Cute picture except for the sun in Coop's eyes. He HATES the sun in his eyes!

My dad helping Cooper up the rock wall. He was so determined to get up there.

More Randoms

Addison came home from school about a month ago and informed me a boy in her class said that on St. Patrick's Day a leprechaun comes and if you leave your shoes out, he'll put candy in them. I had never heard of that but but I thought I should just roll with it. I saw these on Pinterest and thought they were SO cute and they came out pretty good. The kids loved them.


Phillip's been training for a half marathon and he runs every morning and the kids love stretching with him when he comes back. Glad it's been warm lately.

It started raining really hard one Saturday and the kids just pulled their chairs right up so they could watch it. It was really cute.

Addison's been wanting to do this thing at the mall every time we go but it's like $7 which I feel like is crazy so I told her that if she saved up her money she could do it. She was super nervous at first but got into it after a minute or two. She really loved it. I think if she does it again she'll be much less scared about it.
