Easter baskets.
Some how the Easter Bunny must have figured out how much Porter loves Monte!
Porter and Ambria hunting for eggs at my cousin house. 
After a long weekend neither of my kids were in the mood to pose for pictures, so I had to get them on the run.
My cousin Chandelle's little girl turned one this week and we were so excited that we got to celebrate with her.
They also had a petting zoo. Aubrey loved the bunnies, she even kissed them a number of times.
This gray bunny was Aubrey's favorite because he was fatter then the others and she could catch him.
Porter got a balloon sword from the funny clown.
Porter riding the horse. Aubrey was sure she wanted to ride it but by the time we got to the front of the line and we went to put her on she changed her mind.
I realized we have never taken our kids to an Easter Egg Hunt before. So this year we went to Spokane for Easter. My Aunt works at a retirement home there and puts on an annual Easter Egg Hunt. They had 5000 eggs hidden around. 
Aubrey really got into it and would pick two and three eggs up at a time.
Porter did a great job as well.

My kids enjoyed decorating eggs so much and I felt like I didn't let them do enough the other day so I got them some more and let them do it again.
Porter is such a good big brother. Aubrey still has a hard time not crashing in to things when she drives, so Porter has taken to letting her think she is driving but doing the steering for her.
What I thought to be Aubrey's last nap in her crib??
We finally decided that Aubrey is too big for the crib and decided to get her a big girl bed. She was so excited and couldn't wait to get in. And then came bedtime. Needless to say after 45 min of crying and putting her back to bed, she ended up back in the crib. 
What balance!
Porter and Aubrey both had so much fun decorating Easter Eggs.
They also liked eating them. Less then 15 minutes after decorating a dozen eggs there were only five or six left. Of course Nate helped out.
We had one of our first nice days. Aubrey decided she didn't need pants, thankfully she left on her boots.
A couple weeks ago Nate and Porter set up a tent in the backyard with plans to sleep in it. Unfortunately it snowed and rained later that afternoon. Porter has been wanting to sleep in the tent. So Nate put the tent up in the living room.
We got all our blankets and pillows and got all tucked in for the night.
Porter and Nate stuck it out the longest. They lasted about an hour before joining Aubrey and I upstairs in our beds.
Aubrey had a pretty good set up. The problem is she is so wiggly well trying to fall asleep she kept falling off her air mattress.
Nate is building a house close to home and so today he took Porter out to drive the "diggers." Of course once Aubrey saw Porter drive she wanted a turn to. She really held tight to Nate I think she was a little scared.
Porter on the other hand jumped right in. Nate even let him run the bucket.
All business!
He was so sad when we left he cried. Nate had to promise to bring him back.
I don"t know why but both our kids love collecting the garbage! Everyday sometimes twice a day they can be found working together to empty the trash. Many times there is hardly any garbage. Porter has decided he wants to be the garbage man when he grows up.
The other day it was cold so we got a big blanket and cuddled over the heater to watch cartoons. They loved it and wait for the heater now.
Since I was Porter's age my mom has made sugar cookies. It started with just Christmas, but since my kids were born she has gracefully made them for just about every holiday that passes. She has tried to get me to take over the tradition, but why would I. She has it covered. 
Since this trip was both Business and Pleasure for Nate, while he was finishing up his building conference on Tuesday I decided to take the kids to the Temple. The San Diego Temple is just absolutely beautiful.
Aubrey was so tired from our week of fun that on the way to return the rent-a-car she fell a sleep. We waited as long as we could and finally Nate just removed her seat from the car and set her on the bench. She didn't even flinch.
Sarah and I decided to take the kids to the Zoo. I little crazy since there were two of us and six of them. Put things went pretty smooth and the kids sure had fun. Porter was so excited to see the animals, especially the Giraffe.
The kids sitting on a Polar Bear.
We got to see a Panda! 
Aubrey was so tired she just didn't know what she wanted, so she cried. I couldn't resist taking this picture. 
Porter and Aubrey sure had fun with their Grandma. The loved being at her house and seeing her kitty.
