Easter Morning

Well the Easter Bunny found us again this year. 
 

 The kids heading out to see if they can find the eggs.




 We were 3 short and couldn't find any more.  Something (probably Tink) ate 1 that we saw the remains of.  The next day I saw Tink with another one.  I assume she got the 3rd one too.  I think she hid some so we couldn't find them and she could get them later!


 Dustin and Rhett decided to tie their new Easter ties a new nifty way they saw on the internet.  I was rushing out the door to church and forgot to get a picture with all the kids on the beautiful Sabbath morning.  After church I forgot too - so we don't have a picture of all the kids in their Sunday clothes on Easter - think this is the first year yet :(

 We had a wonderful Easter Sacrament Meeting.  The spirit was there very strong.  It was Bruce's 1st Sunday to conduct in the Bishopric.  He was very nervous.  There were tons of ward business so Jimmie did those.  There were 2 letters from the 1st presidency to read and a different Sacrament meeting.  We heard a few testimonies (one was Dustin's) of the Atonement and the Savior.  Lots of music and a great talk/testimony from Pres. Whipple (one of my favorites!)
We came home to a yummy Ham and escalloped potato dinner.  We had this yummy trifle for dessert.  The kids wanted me to take a picture of it.  I guess I do need proof that every great once in a while I do something that looks nice!

LeSueur Easter Breakfast

We had our traditional LeSueur Easter Breakfast at Darrel and Teresa's house.  The kids had tons of fun as usual. It consisted of a yummy breakfast of breakfast casseroles, doughnuts and fruit. Pictures from the morning.
 











Swimming

While we were in Mesa the kids wanted to swim.  I thought they were crazy.  The weather was perfect but perfect for sitting out side.  We went to Darrel and Teresa's house to swim.  It was a little chilly but they had fun.
 









 Tylinn taking a little break from the cold water to warm up.
 The kids got in their hot tub when they couldn't stand the cold any longer.  Brecks wife showed up with their kids.  Tylinn and Kaylee had lots of fun with their little girls.
 These boys are pretty goofy!

 Our bathing beauty!!!

Easter Pageant

For some sad reason (unknown to me) my kids have never been to the Easter Pageant.  This year with having Spring Break the week before Easter we decided to make a trip out of it.  Thursday night we went to the Easter Pageant.  Holli and her family came and Grandma Nena and Flake.  The Burns Family also made it and came to sit by us.  It was a beautiful program with beautiful weather.  I am so sick of the cold that the weather there was PERFECT!
Waiting for the Pageant to start. 
 Lonnie and Shari were also there with her family and Zoe came to sit by us. 
 Still waiting.....


 Me and Robyn
 Burns Family....love this family.  Such a good example to us. 
 Favorite part of the Pageant!

It was a great night.  It will for sure not be another 14 years before we go back!

Egg Coloring

This was our fun time of coloring Easter Eggs.
 
 Kaylee getting very creative!
 Innocent??  Doesn't look like it!
 Happy as ever!
 I guess Rhett Man got a little bored and fell asleep on his eggs!!
 Looks so yummy she couldn't wait to taste it!
