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).

Training

Dexter has been training for the Jenks Family Easter Egg Hunt., Even though we are not able to be there this year, Ashton wanted to get him started. He is really good at taking them out of his basket, looks like we have a future hider.
