hoppy easter...

after they got their bunny ears out of their baskets they kept hopping around
and singing to the tune of the song "feeling hot hot hot"
 but changed it to "feeling hop hop hop."

I heard someone a while ago say that their 'easter bunny' brought Springtime! 

I loved that,

 so i have gone with that theme ever since.

 I want my kids to know the real meaning of Easter is about Christ 

and his ressurection and what a beautiful thing to know that HE has risen just
like he prophesied!  i didn't want the easter bunny to take over the holiday.

 so our bunny brought all sorts of swim/sand and outside toys, hoping that spring would come soon. ;)

 i love that every child of mine is totally obsessed with the Cadbury creme egg.  that is pretty much the only candy they eat in their basket.  this year they got M&M's personilized with their names on them. 

they thought that was so cool...

hayes wanted me to take a picture of his finger ripstik to show how small it was next to the m&m's.

our easter sunday was wonderful, filled with family, stories of christ

 and then a big easter dinner at the Taylors. 

everyone looked precious in their 'easter best' 

boston was off to church before i could take a group picture,

{dont worry i grabbed him right after for another shot}

  I love that ivy is giving me a 'thumbs up' haha 

You gotta love Sundays!

Ok So we have had a dramatic change in Weather, Hello---it's only September and there is snow on the Mountains.....I was supposed to go MTN. Biking on Saturday morning. Oh well, So instead I Got all the Winter Gear and Clothing out and Washed!

Today was so awesome! We had a fabulous Sunday School lesson, Hayes & Olivia went to Nursery the whole time,& We had a fabulous Lunch! Then Hayes and Olivia went down for a Nap while I played BINGO with Boston and then also Had a nap! You gotta love Sundays!
OH we also found out that Boston is going to be in "The Friend"! Cory's cousin said she just got the October magazine and she saw Boston Taylor in the Friends in the News~ How cool is that.. We haven't recieved the magazine yet, We even went to the distribution center and they do not have it yet! So look for him in the October issue.

Sept-10th HAPPY BIRTHDAY MOM!

Happy Birthday to my Mom!

This is the sweetest, most patient, rule abiding, loving Mother. I don't think she has ever raised her voice to me or any of us children.
How come I (or We) didn't inherit that trait mom. What a Great Example of Patience!

We had a busy weekend.... Boston played a Baseball game in Park City on Saturday and they won 20-6 ! It was a great game. Nana came and watched (helped)! Boston got a hit and scored two runs and then he ended up scoring too. SO it was a good day for Boston, especially since he had a fever during the game! What a trooper.

Sunday was our monthly Family Home Evening dinner at our house, Where we had a delicious Ham dinner and gave out awards from our Lake Powell trip. It was so fun to give the awards with the Gag gifts that went with.
My favorite ones were .......
Best Milks-Todd (total inside Joke with his 2 yr old daughter)
The Kelly Hog--Olivia (she would not leave Aunt Kelly alone)

Good Times.....
