Easter Weekend!  

Wednesday, April 11, 2012

We had a great Easter weekend this year! Here's Kade coloring an egg.

Bailey was braver than the rest of us, and let everyone come over to color eggs. Talk about controlled chaos!
Saturday we headed out to "Easter Camp" with the Snyders. Grandma had some fun activities for the kids planned, including a silly string fight.

I introduced the egg roll to the Snyder side of our family this year. It wasn't the best track, but eventually we got the eggs to go down okay.

Apparently they roll better if you kiss them first.

Ready, Set Go . . .
The grandkids all love the side-by-side.

On Sunday afternoon the kids discovered the Easter Bunny had come while they were at church.
Sienna woke up very sick. But thanks to modern medicine, she got off the couch long enough to find her basket and eat some candy.
Kade even found an egg or two all by himself!
He searched far and wide.
Parker didn't really hold still long enough to get a picture of him. He was very concerned about finding the most eggs. (I've decided he might be a little OCD)
Bronsen found his loot. It's a good thing we still have some weeds around or hiding things would have been a lot harder.

I Can't Wait Until I'm Eight!  

Monday, April 9, 2012

Bronsen has been waiting a long time to be eight. From what I could tell, he had the best birthday ever! He seriously celebrated from sun up to well past sun down. His morning started with an 8 - shaped pancake and dollar under his breakfast plate. Then we made cupcake ice cream cones for his class.

Then immediate after school some friends went on a hike with him. It kind of turned from a hike, to a game of hide and seek, to a game of lets beat all the limbs off this dead tree. We followed this up with ice cream at Patio.
Then for the second best reason to be 8! In our house that means you are old enough for a BB gun.
It comes with lots of safety advice!

As if he wasn't already spoiled enough, he got golf clubs from his grandparents! All of the cousins ended up coming over to wish him happy birthday about the time we were ready to cut the cake, so they all joined in. It was seriously an all day party for him. Happy Birthday Bronsen!!
On Friday night Bronsen was baptized a member of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints. The #1 reason it's so great to be eight! (This made me feel so old.) I can't believe how grown up he is. Bronsen really thought a lot about this decision. I'm so glad he has his own little testimony.
Here's a little video we put together of Bronsen and showed at the baptism.
