Easter Weekend

We had a really good Easter Weekend. We colored Eggs, went to a little graduation/birthday party, worked in the yard, the Easter Bunny came, and I had one of the worst colds of the entire year. Pretty productive wouldn't you say? Hmmm, I don't know. But it was fun. My pictures are a little out of order, but what can I say. Oh yeah, and I stayed home from church today because of my enormously horrible cold, but my parents came over and brought dinner, and it was wonderful to spend time with them, and not to have to cook :)

The girls Easter Digs!

They got a few little toys....an Easter Polly Pocket, a Hula Hoop, a summer outfit and little dolls with a matching outfit, a beach ball, and a couple of Easter books. Not to mention lots and lots of CHOCOLATE!

Chris and My Easter Digs :) Lets face it.....all we need is the CHOCOLATE! And the good stuff at that :)

At the beginning of the school year, Bree's school had a carnival. There was a game, where you had to Hula Hoop for 2 minutes straight to get a prize. At that time, she'd never seen a Hula Hoop, but she tried it anyway. I basically had to bribe the person working the game to get Bree a prize, because I didn't want her to feel left out.

She has been Hula Hooping for 2 days straight now, and is a complete expert! (almost) She can even do hers and Elle's at the same time. Yes, she can work 2 Hula Hoops together. Amazing, what a day of practice can do!!!


On Saturday, I did a lot of sleeping, and pretty much nothing. While Chris edged and mowed our entire yard. The girls played outside most of the day. I sat and watched Chris, and pushed the girls on the swings. But I'm telling you, this cold has been a doozy!
While we were outside, Bree said to me "Mom, our yard is huge! I don't ever want to move!!" Well, she doesn't have to worry about moving again. Because we LOVE LOVE LOVE our home, and are here to stay :)

Even after all of the yard work, Chris pulled out the BBQ Grill, and grilled the first steaks of the Spring Season.
And these pictures probably should have been at the beginning of this post, but at least they made it in the post :) Coloring our Easter Eggs. I boiled 3 dozen, but the girls kept dropping and cracking them. They both ended up with about 12 Eggs each. A lot I know, but I figure, if you're going to go to all the trouble of coloring Eggs, you might as well make it worth it!

Chris and I got one Egg Each :)

We also made it over to my sister's house this weekend, for a Birthday/Graduation party. My brother in law just graduated from Weber State University with his degree in Engineering! A tough one, and he is the 1st person in his entire family to graduate from College, so way to go Doug!!! And Happy Birthday to my sister Jen!

Chris went to Church without us girls today. He taught a combined Young Men's lesson on resisting temptations. The Bishop and one of his counselors sat in on his lesson. I know it was a good one, because I know how great my husband is. And I'm just glad it was my off week of teaching so that I didn't have to go to church with my cold. Then my parents called, and came over with some lunch and spent some time with us. I was really excited for a super yummy lunch, that I didn't have to fix :) Seriously, my Mom has no idea how much I love that they came over today!!!

Happy Easter to all :)
