Early Easter Excitement


For activity days we taught the girls how to make Bread in a bag.  Tad helped me measure the flour. 

Tad also helped me wash the truck this week.  Fred & I tried to go snowmobiling but both machines were stubborn and we ended up loading them back up and coming home without playing in the snow.   The area was muddy though and my truck was a mess. 

Tad liked helping dye eggs, except he'd drop them into the dye instead of dipping them.   
Friday night Tad & I went to Lehi to play & SHOP with my friend Jen!   Saturday while we went to my cousin's wedding at the Mt. Timp Temple, Tad stayed with Jen.   She spoiled him rotten- and taught him how to play Air Guitar!  It was probably his favorite part of the day.  We didn't want to drive home so we stayed down there and played games at a church while the kids ran around.  Tad did manage to take a nap before the reception.  We ate entirely too much sugar that day.  Then.....
 Sunday we had Easter festivities with my family.  Dinner, read the Easter story, an egg hunt (Dad hid the eggs REALLY well, he finally had to tell us where the last 2 were), made chocolate truffle eggs (I'm addicted to the coconut ones- more sugar!), then Egg bowling! 



All you need is:  1 boiled egg per person, a boxed chocolate rabbit (that will stand on it's own-  test them in the store!), and a flat surface. 

Jayne, Cannon, Christopher, Me, Nashaela, Paul, Fred & Tad, Lauralee, Crystal (and Kaysen in the background).

I'm pretty sure we found a new Easter Tradition - EGG BOWLING!

Where did the good weather go?

 Memories of the good weather a few weeks ago..... what happened?! 
 The end of March was wonderful weather!  I NEEDED to go to the zoo!
 So Tad & I went Thursday, then Crystal took off work early and we went again on Friday!



The tiger decided to hang out right by the window.  We waited for our turn to take a picture and the tiger decided to yawn right when Tad got up there.  It scared him a little, but surprisingly he still stood there and looked at the tiger. 




This has nothing to do with the zoo - but everything to do with good weather.  We were finally able to finish the toy shelves for Tad.  Fred built it, I got the easy job of staining it.  I am an organization freak and LOVE having his toys in separate bins!
