Spring


It's been another eventful month. I left my camera at our DUP (Daughters of Utah Pioneers) Spring Convention and haven't gotten it back yet, so these are just from my phone. Collin just finished the Geocaching Merit Badge so we got to go find some and hide one and we found a great new canyon to explore right above our house:


The boys went snowboarding every Saturday and some night runs too:


It ended up being a girls day for making Ukranian Easter eggs at my moms house this year. These are the things I missed while being in Texas! Grace pumped out 5 completely different and all beautiful eggs:


We had a girls dinner for my sister right before she had her baby:


And meeting Laura's baby, Ada when she was 3 hours old. Collin said he wasn't going to hold her and then kept saying it was his turn and was a natural. He was rocking and bouncing her like a pro:


Our neighborhood puts on a great Easter egg hunt for 3 age groups for the 3 parks in our neighborhood. It was awesome! Collin was bummed that he's too old for it now. But he did get to eat about a dozen donuts!


Grace hunting in the "upper" park:


And finding an egg in a tree:


My baby turned 10 years old this year! I have kind of gone through small children withdrawls for the last couple of birthdays with her, but I guess I must have finally accepted that there is no turning back. It was a good birthday. She "only" wanted the biggest, hugest stuffed moose ever, so we obliged:


She named it Hirvi (moose in Finnish) and takes it everywhere:


For her party she wanted a luncheon and to do an Easter Egg hunt. She wrote me a detailed menu:


And we got mountains of plastic eggs and candy for $20 at the post Easter sale. Yay! The friends from the neighborhood:


And after the hunt:
