Easter 2015

We are having a great Easter! While we are reflecting on the resurrection of Christ, we're also enjoying spending time together as a family! Chad and Courtney, and their children, along with Blaine, Paula, and Emery are here. On top of that, Grandma Betty is, too!

We are all hanging out at Grandma Cindy and Grandpa Lynn's house. Last night, we had sweet and sour chicken while the kids spent over an hour playing Come to Court*, and the adults were making silly videos and laughing a lot.

Today we had our own Easter egg hunt, and we'll spend the rest of the day hanging out, and nibbling on fruited chicken salad and croissants. And Easter candy! Tomorrow will spend some time watching the bi-annual LDS Conference, having ham and funeral potatoes, and more Easter candy!


There's no school on Monday, so we'll get to spend that day together as well!

*Come to Court is a game similar to hide and go seek. I think it's a game Chad and I made it up as children. I love that we have passed the tradition on to our children. You have to hide and walk around the house, and you're allowed to move at your own discretion. The officer is only allowed to look over his shoulder on the corner before training another direction. If you get caught, you have to come to court and follow the officer around. You can try and sneak away if you want. But if you get caught twice, you're out!

The Opposite of Christmas Morning

We are having the opposite of Christmas morning at our house.  No toys.  We have one of these for storing toys: And several of these for the same reason: And last night the kids thought dumping them out for the sake of dumping toys would be fun.  This is a major rule breaker in our home.  I have had problems with this in the past, (even Mykalee knows this) and i have told them if it happens again, all the toys will disappear. And last night, after I found out what they had done, the toys have been grounded.  FOR A WEEK.  I hope it's as devastating as possible, so that they will learn I am serious when it comes to dumping toys out. {Also, Brooklyn is the only one who is exempt from this, as she was in bed.  Innocent.} On a side note, we did get the kids this on Friday.  It was time.  They seem to love it.

Happy Birthday Catelyn!!!

Happy Birthday Catelyn!!!     Yesterday was you last day as a 6 year old.  Here we go for 7!!!

Breaking News: Brooklyn

Nothing like getting a sharp poke in the ear. Especially when you're two and an half and ASK for it. When Brooklyn was a baby I went to have her ears done, but decided to hold off, since her one ear lobe was so tiny, and her ears were very different in size. So I waited. For her to grow into her ears. And to grow some hair. Still waiting on the hair part, so earrings seemed like a great idea. She asked for them, and since we both wanted them, we went and got them. She picked out a pair, and viola, it was done. She said, "Owwwww!" once, and then laughed when the lady gave her a sucker and began modeling for me and Kyle.  All to show off her new earrings! Yup, seriously, she loves them.  It's pretty stinking cute.  She is constantly telling me, each time we clean and rotate them, "Mom, never take them out, 'kay?" Okay. Deal. And I did mention that we are waiting on some hair, but some is sprouting. So we're hopeful! See, she...
