Easter

I love Easter! We have had specific Easter traditions in my family ever since I can remember, but this year, things were a little different. With my mom being handicap, and Rob & Heather up from St. George, and the weather so crazy, this Easter ended up being a last minute scramble! I waited until SATURDAY to do my Easter shopping! Never Again! Every store we went to was Cleaned out of ALL Easter candy! We went to 4 or 5 places to get enough candy to fill our baskets, but I must say, my dad saved the day when he told us to go to some "little pharmacy in West Valley that not many people know about". We had nothing to lose, so we trusted him. The "Little Pharmacy" turned out to be a Super Savors Warehouse that Tons of people know about, but, low & behold, we Struck Gold!! We got everything we needed, and Saved our Easter! Thanks Dad!!

And, being the brain dead mother I am, I forgot my camera so I don't have any pictures of my boys dying Easter eggs, which Cody LOVED and Bo had NO interest in, or of the Easter Egg hunt we went to that was sponsored by my Ward, which neither of my boys really cared about, but had a blast none-the-less. Bo just liked picking up the eggs and throwing them, and Cody liked kicking the eggs he found. Karlee however, found one of the "Silver Eggs" and so won one of four Big prizes! I think Rob was more excited about it than Karlee...

Easter Morning...

Cody's Basket


Bo's Basket

Easter Morning, Bo was THRILLED! Candy, Candy, Candy! And, yes, I let them have their candy for breakfast!


We went to Cory's parents house first for a little Easter Egg Hunt and lunch with the Huntsman's. Once again, my boys had no interest in the "Hunt", but Loved being with all the kids, and playing in the Pond.

I love my boys' Easter Outfits. I thought they looked so dang cute! However, Cody only wore his for a total of 3 minutes, before he found the ONLY piece of dog crap on 10 acres and managed to smear it all over his leg, and his arm, and his shirt!


Since he was the only child that managed to find the poop, he was the only child that spent Easter Afternoon like this... In just his Diaper, Sweatshirt, and Shoes! His clothes were in the wash!

He didn't care! He just kept finding one egg at a time, opening it, and eating the candy in it!


Bo & Taylor. Taylor was so cute with Bo trying to get him interested in finding eggs, but all Bo wanted to do was throw the eggs in the pond!

Taylor couldn't believe that Bo was just chucking the eggs in the pond! THEY HAVE CANDY IN THEM!!!


Cody standing at the top of the pond. My little Danger boy!

I yelled at him to get down, and he was hurrying as fast as he could like he knew he was in trouble! (Of course I had to get a picture!)

Nothing could pull this kid away from that stinkin' Pond!

He was in Heaven!
And of Course we had to go on Four Wheel ride! Someone starts one of these suckers up, and it doesn't matter where my boys are, or what they are doing, they drop it and come runnin'!
After our Easter Lunch, we headed over to my mom & dad's house for a yummy turkey dinner! They had another little egg hunt, jumped on the tramp, and we played Wii all afternoon. Even though this Easter was totally different, it was a total blast!

Poor kid played so hard he just wore himself right out! He was playing, and all the sudden just went to sleep on top of this metal box! It was so funny I just had to take a picture!
Thank you everyone for such a fun Easter! We love all of you!
