EaStEr!

We had a wonderful Easter this year. We started off the weekend by going to Baby Animal Days at the American West Heritage Center on Friday. It was so much fun. The whole day Kason called all of the animals a cow. It was so fun to see the kids reaction to the animals. They loved petting them and holding them. Avree loved the bunnies and wanted to take one home! Of course we didn't but I really thought about it. The kids went on a pony ride and we got some cotton candy. Then ended the day by going to see the Easter Bunny. It was such a fun day. The kids really loved the "farm." On Saturday we spent the day with my family and had a fun Easter Egg hunt at the park and played softball, kickball and had some relays. It was a really fun day. Then on Sunday the Easter Bunny came of course. Avree was so excited that the bunny brought toys and not just candy! They each got a set of golf clubs, a new outfit and some fun outside games. Then after church we went to Neil & Sherry's for an Easter Egg hunt, and dinner. After dinner we went to roll eggs at Old Main. It is such a fun tradition. It was a great weekend and the kids really liked being outside and being busy all weekend. They love being with cousins and playing. Here are some pics of our adventures!

We had a great Christmas this year. We got to spend it mostly with Nick's family because my parents went to St. George. We had our party with my family on the 23rd we opened our drawing gifts and had pizza. It was fun and I got a beautiful handmade jewelry box from Kayla! Avree got a princess sleeping bag with pillow that she has slept in every night since. Then on Christmas Eve we went to Nick's parents house and had a huge party. We had the nativity, played the chimes and opened our drawing gifts! We had a great time and got lots of food storage from Nick's parents! We need it so bad! We slept over that night and were so excited for Santa to come. Our kids got so spoiled this year. Which you will notice in the pictures. We had so much fun with the kids. They are such fun ages and really enjoyed Christmas. Avree kept telling everyone "Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays." She said she even heard Santa's sleigh on Christmas Eve:) She is so funny. Kason loved all of his new toys and especially his new Rocket ride-on toy. He loves music and just pushes all of the buttons over and over. We hope everyone had a great Christmas and a Happy New Year!

A Great Thanksgiving and Black Friday!!

We had a great Thanksgiving this year! I think I won't be hungry again for at least another week! We ate dinner at my mom's this year and played games after dinner. Then went to Nick's parents for pie! It was a day full day of eating. But we had a great time visiting with family and goofing off. Thanks everyone for the great food it was wonderful! I even decided to make pies this year and they turned out pretty good! I was so proud of myself!
Then it was off for some great shopping. We started early and went to K-mart on thursday night. We got a few things and then went home to rest up for the next day! I picked Sasha up at 4:30 and we were off to Wal-Mart. When we got there it was CRAZY! I have been going for about 6 years now and I have never seen it so packed! There were so many people you couldn't even move. I felt like a cow in a cattle drive. MOO! At one time I was sandwiched between 2 carts with both people pushing on me. We got some great deals and I got everything I needed! We waited in line for about 45 minutes then headed to K-Mart. There was nothing there so we went to Kohls and got some great deals on toys and games. Then we went to Old Navy and finished up! Wow what a day. Sasha and I had so much fun. The most fun is making fun of the people who are so into it and rude! We don't care if we get anything but it is so fun to go and watch all of the crazy people! Thanks for going with me Sasha!
