Easter 2012

We went to Grandma and Grandpa Dahl's house on Saturday for dinner and an Easter egg hunt. The kids love playing with Jared. We had a delicious dinner and Mindi brought cute stuff for the kids to play with and cookies for them to decorate. As usual, my mom spoiled the kids with candy and money.  I am so glad that it was a warm sunny day.

Holidays are the only days that I am glad our church doesn't start until 1:00.  The kids got up and got into their Easter baskets.  This year they got bike helmets and bells for their bikes and a bunch of candy.  Then we got ready for church and they had an Easter egg hunt outside before we left.  They all got new Easter clothes and they looked so cute.

After church we went to Grandma and Grandpa Galloway's house for dinner and another Easter egg hunt.  Once again the kids got spoiled.  We went down to the pond for the egg hunt and the kids had fun playing with their cousins.  With all the stuff they get from grandparents I wonder if the Easter bunny ever needs to come.



March 2012

 I can't remember everything that happened in March so I will just post about a few highlights.  The last week of March was the girls spring break.  We took them to Sandy to stay in a hotel because they have been wanting to go swimming for so long.  We had also planned to go to the Living Planet Aquarium and go to a few other places, but we mainly went so they could swim.  They probably would have spent every waking minute in the pool if we didn't make them get out so we could do other things.  Everywhere we went they were always asking when we were going back to swim.  The kids had a ton of fun.  Easton loved everything but bedtime.  He has never spent the night anywhere but Grandma Dahl's house, so he kept asking to go home.

 We went to the Living Planet Aquarium.  It's no Sea World but it's pretty good for Utah.  They had sting rays for the kids to touch and small sharks, penguins, otters, and an assortment of other sea creatures to look at.  They had a great time especially because their cousins were there with them.

 Since it has gotten warmer this month the kids have been out riding their bikes as often as they can.  Brynlie told me that she loves living where we do because they can ride their bikes all over.  Easton is doing so good on his Stryder bike.  He balances so well and can coast on the two wheels.  He'll probably be able to ride a regular bike by the time he is three.  Whoever invented that bike knew what they were doing.
