Easter Sunday

Getting the girls ready for church is always a struggle, but when I want to do something a little more fun and different with their hair, it's nearly impossible! But I did manage to get them to hold still long enough to make it cute. Too bad it doesn't stay like this for long!

After church we have dinner at our house. Mike's family, Josh's parents and brother, and Ryan, Kinzie and Kambree all joined us. It was a good day to spend with family. Plus it was a beautiful day outside! I think spring is finally going to come!

Thanks for spending Easter with us! We love you all!

Easter Egg Hunt

I took the girls to the community Easter Egg Hunt Saturday morning. McKinzie and Kambree and McKinzie's sister and her daughter also came. It was kind of cold, but the girls had a great time "finding" the eggs. As you can see in the picture below, it took a lot of hunting to find the eggs!!

Project Filter Proudly Presents...PBR rider Wiley Petersen

My program, Project Filter, has been sponsoring Wiley Petersen for the last couple of years. He is the first (and currently only) cowboy to ever refuse Smokeless Tobacco sponsorship and instead be a spokesperson for a tobacco prevention program. He is so great to work with. Better yet, he is currently 4th in the world standings for PBR! So we are getting a lot of publicity! PBR is in Nampa this weekend so we held a radio remote at Double D Farm and Feed today and had Wiley there to sign autographs. It ended up being a great event. Hopefully he continues to ride well and hopefully keep riding his way to the top of the standings!

Easter Chicks

This puts a whole new meaning to coloring Easter eggs! These chicks are so cute! They injected dye into the eggs just before they hatched. They end up hatching in their various colors. We were assured that the dye they use is not harmful or toxic to the chicks. They will lose the colored down in about 3 weeks and their normal feathers will appear. I seriously wanted one of the greens ones! I wish they would stay small like this instead of growing up into chickens!
