Easter Day!

Peyton woke up really excited on Easter morning. She got up before everybody else and found all of our Easter baskets that the Easter Bunny hid. The Easter Bunny even pooped by our back door before he left and dropped a half eatin carrot. She was a little grossed out but thought is was funny. Houston wasn't sure what was going on but did enjoy all the fun stuff the Easter Bunny left for him. After we checked out our baskets I made french toast, sausage patties and hard boiled eggs for breakfast.

In the afternoon we went up to Brent and ReNaes for a really yummy early dinner. It was a fairly nice day so the kids all played outside, we had an easter egg for the 3 younger girls and the kids all opened presents from Grandpa Brent and Grandma ReNae.

Later on we met Bradyn's Uncle Ralph, Aunt Rhonda, and cousins Trenton & Wendy and their kids, Jake & Tana and their kids, Kendall & Kallie and their kids and Dallas at the Centennial Park in Riverton. Brent and ReNae met us over there later on. The adults all played softball while the kids played around on the playground and practiced T-ball. I wasn't thinking and forgot to pack tennis shoes so only played softball a little because it was hard to run in flip flops.

Coloring Easter Eggs

Last night the kids and I colored eggs for Easter. Well actually Houston just watched while Peyton and I did all the work but he did like holding and sucking on the eggs. Bradyn isn't a big fan of the plain hard boiled eggs so I boiled some eggs for him and then he put them in beat juice to soak for a couple days (yuck!). Peyton saw that commercial with the mom and the daughter making the egg shaped rice crispy treats with one end dipped in chocolate and sprinkles and now thats what she wants to make next so I guess I'll be heading to the store to get the supplies and we'll be making them either tonight or tomorrow.




We don't really have big plans for Easter this year. We thought about going camping but since the kids and I have all been sick we decided not to go because it's supposed to storm tomorrow and be on the cooler side all weekend. Last year we didn't go anywhere for Easter either and it was nice to just stay home for once on a holiday so it will be nice to just be hanging close again this year. We hope you all have a Happy Easter!

Peyton's 1st T-Ball Game

This last Monday was Peyton's 1st T-ball game. She will have 1 or 2 games a week through the first week of June and then the closing ceremonies will be on June 13th. I wasn't able to get too many pictures because I was coaching 1st base but here is one I got of Peyton hitting the ball and ReNae sent me a few others that she was able to get.

Peyton All Fancy for Dance

A couple weeks ago Peyton had her dance pictures taken. She was so excited because she got to wear make-up and had her hair done all fancy. Peyton has been attending dance lessons once a week since August. Her class will compete at Lagoon on May 9th, the Riverton Arts Festival on June 5th and then the Summer Showcase on June 13th. Here are a couple pictures of her after she got all fixed up.
