Easter and Stuff...




I have minor panic attacks everyday. Why? Because the Blogger people made it possible for people to track how often you update your blog. As I blog stalk my daily list, the date in which I have posted last continues to get further and further from the present date. It stresses me out. This is exactly why I didn't want to start a blog. I always feel like I am behind. 

The past month has been fun. The kids are getting so big and this Easter they really "got" it. 2 family parties, 4 Easter egg hunts and 1 family day at church later, we are all suffering from major sugar highs and have been eating chocolate bunnies for breakfast for the past week. I am hoping that we are coming to the end of the stash. (My goal is to toss whatever is left by the end of the weekend. Truth is, this will probably be accomplished by me eating what is left by midnight Sunday night).

The weather was perfect and so was the company. We went to church with Jon's side of the family and then enjoyed a bbq and egg hunt afterwards. Later that day, we met my family at a park and had a little picnic and another egg hunt.

I love Easter. I love our Savior who overcame death and for the miracle of the resurrection. With Easter comes a sense of renewal and the Spring season (well, this one is going to take some faith on my end. I haven't seen much of this yet!).  Here are some of my favorite photographs from the past couple of weeks...

Our kids LOVE taking family pictures


Beckham's 1st egg. He wanted to stop hunting after he figured out what was inside. Time to sit down and enjoy the fruits of his labor!

He LOVES to suck the flavor off of each chip before eating it. It makes for a bag a chips lasting a LONG time!

Hmmm...who is more excited???


Part of Chloe's preschool class. A meltdown is in the works even before it begins...


My babies



Again...our kids LOVE taking family pictures!

How cute! I am sick having easter candy too. I threw away what was left in the baskets yesterday because I kept eating everything!

Okay in the last picture of you and Jon...your arms are ripped! You must be doing more than running now. Your kids are darling. Sounds like you guys are keeping busy. Say hi to the family. Hope to see you soon.OHHH, P.S. My friend Misty really really wants you to take her family pictures, the next time you are in Cedar or driving through. She is not computer savy, so I told her I would let you know. talk to you soon.
