Happy Easter!

On Monday March 21 was the big South Weber hunt.

 It's so nice to have cousins around to hunt with.  Trevor's kids showed a little after I took the pictures.

 

 Bensen was pretty excited for the candy, and did a good job.

 We also did family home evening this night.  We did the one with eggs that had things in them that pertained to the resurrection, then the last egg is empty.  The kids enjoyed it I think. I hope they understand the real reason we celebrate some of our holidays.  We really do try to explain it to them.

These are the present we got them for Easter. Jaycee and Wesley also got some new bedding.  It was actually more for me, it is the zipper beds.  I dislike trying to make bunk beds, now we just zip them up, easy peasy!

 The Easter Bunny always hides the kids baskets. This year Wesley had the hardest time finding his.  He finally found it in the upstairs bathroom. That silly rabbit!

 I love my family so much and I am so grateful that I get to be with them forever! We are all super excited to meet Vivian also, 4 more week! At church someone told me I looked like an Easter egg, not sure that was a compliment or not. :)

 A lot of our family was out of town this year for Easter. So we invited everyone that was still around to come to our house. We had a nice little hunt. Our backyard has a lot of good hiding places.

 After the hunt we had dinner. We had made barbecue chicken and deviled egg salad, and asked everyone to bring something to share.  It was all very good!

 I know I say it all the time, but I love that my kids get to grow up so close to their cousins, uncles, aunts and grandparents.  They really are lucky that their best friends are their cousins.

I am so grateful for all that my Savior has done for me. That because of Him I can be with my family forever, and return to live with my Heavenly Father again! 

Truly blessed.

March Shenanigans

Lately I have been a serious slacker when it comes to taking pictures. I have tried to be a little better this month.

Bensen has started to cheese it big time! It is pretty funny!

 The kids beg me to get in my tub all the time.  I never let them though...to much work for me I guess. These days I am pretty lazy. :) 

 They finally wore me down and I said yes.  They loved it! Bensen wasn't so sure about it at first, but he warmed up to it.  They have begged me several times since then to do it again, once a month should be good...right?

 We had a leprechaun come and visit us on St. Patricks day.  Wesley wanted to set traps all over the house.  I assured him that I would never let a leprechaun in my house to mess it up, so he set the traps outside. 

 Mike is such a good dad, while I was in the shower he came down to make the kids some green milk. Green, orange, close enough! (We were out of green food coloring, I told him the night before we would have to mix yellow and blue together. Unfortunately for Mike he has a had time with blue and red.) 

 We love him for trying though.

 For dinner we had tomatillo salsa, green rice, and chicken. Yum.

 For dessert we had sherbet floats. They were a hit.

 I also turned 34 this year! Unfortunately we forgot to take a picture earlier in the day, so this is after I'm ready for bed.  Nice!

The weekend before my birthday, Mike surprised me with a game night with my siblings, no kids.  It was a blast. We ate haystacks and had chocolate fondue. It was all so delicious.  I stayed until 2:30 a.m. playing board games. When I got up to come home I could barely walk! I even tried crawling and that was just as painful! I had to use my moms walking sticks to get home. So now I know that sitting for hours without getting up is no good. That is something I will not miss about being pregnant. The pelvic pain can be pretty intense at times!

On my birthday weekend Mike took me to see a movie and have lunch on Friday. Then on Sunday Mikes mom made me a birthday dinner, meatloaf, my favorite and a yummy cake. Then we went to my house and had more yummy cake! It really was a great birthday. Oh yeah, for my birthday Mike got me a 22 rifle, and some gardening gloves.  I am pretty excited to use both of them! :)
