Easter

Easter morning!  The kids got a new book, pajamas, and some fun treats.

Dexter got shark pajamas and a robot book.

Juliette got a Fancy Nancy book with matching pajamas.

For the Easter egg hunt, we joined in the cities festivities.  They have the middle school football field divided up into sections for each of the different age groups.  All the eggs were just thrown out on the field.  They challenged the older kids by not allowing bags/baskets and making them figure out different ways to collect their eggs.  The eggs were filled with coupons from the different businesses  around town and tokens to the carousel at the carousel mall.

It was cold and rainy the whole time.  

JJ almost got her picture in the newspaper, but a different kid made the page.  

I love that she went in her pink tutu.  It is very much her style!

JJ was the only brave one to sit on the easter bunny's lap.

Then on sunday, we colored easter eggs.  The kids had fun and made beautiful eggs.

March

March was very busy.  We went to Idaho halfway through it for Ashton's final rotation.  Here is a recap of March...

We discovered Juliette likes to play dress up.  She put the skirt on over her other skirt and yes, those are shorts around her neck.  She did it all herself!

We went to Idaho and spent the first week with Ashton's 2 youngest brothers while his parents were on a cruise!  While we were there it was St. Patrick's day and Grandma left us some goodies...

We had craft time with Uncle Crayson...

 

and we went to Herrett's Museum where Dex found everything shark related.

Then it was Easter and we colored eggs with the Loveless cousins;

we played swords (girls vs. boys:  the girls were plotting),

tried to take some family pictures,

waited for the Jenks Family 75th, annual easter egg hunt to begin,

and got some fun dress up stuff for Easter.  Dex got some snorkling stuff and JJ got fairy wings, a tutu, and wand (hers is on video, sorry).

Our Easter

We had a good little Easter this year. It was our first one with Dexter and our first one away from family. On Saturday, Dexter got his basket with a bunny and a book. He first pulled out the bunny and squeazed it and squealed. Then he pulled out the book and made his way to my lap so that we could read it. Then inbetween conference sessions, Kevin, Karen, and their boys came over for a little egg hunt and BBQ. It was fun. After all of his training, Dexter even found and got an egg. He wasn't quite sure about the grass though. While the guys were at the priesthood session, Karen and I went to her friend's house and dyed easter eggs with the kids. It was fun. Then we came back to our house for dessert with the guys. Sunday, was a lazy day listening to General Conference and eating a lovely ham dinner prepared by Ashton. He did a really nice job.

Easter

I know this is a little late, but better late than never. This year we were able to go to Twin Falls for Easter. We went to the big Jenks family Easter egg hunt. It was a lot fun. This year was the 71st annual Jenks family easter egg hunt! That is an awesome family tradition! Ashton got about 44 eggs, which gave him about 12th place. The winner was his cousin Michael with 166 eggs! After that, we went to the Loveless family and had an easter egg hunt with Lydia and Brody. It was a lot of fun. I can't believe how big those 2 are getting!!! Enjoy the pictures! (I only got 1 picture of the Jenks egg hunt cause I was watching babies :) Next year I'll do better)
