Happy Easter

Easter Sunday was nice and relaxing. It was nice to have Bryce all to ourselves with no church meetings. We slept in, enjoyed a yummy breakfast together, went Easter egg hunting, watched Conference, and colored Easter eggs. The kids got plenty of candy, a new outfit, and a DVD. The boys each got a new game and Ellie got a My Little Pony family convertible.
After conference we went to my aunt Janet's for dinner. It was yummy! She barbecued hamburgers and hot dogs. We had layered jello (about 15 layers), mac salad, chinese chicken salad, chips and dips and chocolate eclair cake for dessert. I am sure I need to run about 10 miles today. :(
Look at all my eggs

Coloring Easter eggs!!



Ellie used a whisk for her eggs and it turned out perfect. Only one spill.



The finished products. They did great.


















Easter Weekend

Saturday we decided to head to SLC for the day. We went to the Gateway to see how the Discovery Children's Museum was. Tyler had brought home a pass from school for the whole family to get in free, so we figured with baseball starting soon on Saturdays, we better go soon.
Well, lets just say Bryce wasn't real excited about going to the museum and as you can see in one of the pictures he didn't really enjoy it. However, Brayden and Ellie had a good time. And sometimes you have to do things for your kids. Let's just say we are glad we got in free!! (The treehouse museum in Ogden is better.)





They had a Life Flight helicopter up on the top floor. The boys enjoyed this, but Ellie wasn't so sure. I think she thought it was going to take off on her.


Bryce enjoying the museum. NOT!!


After the museum, we went to Barnes & Noble and Famous Footwear. Then we headed off to lunch/dinner. We were all starving. We went to Benihana's in dowtown SLC and had a great time. The best part was that my meal was FREE because I had a certificate for my birthday this month. We saved $30. I love to save money!!


I love this picture!!

Me, Brayden and Ellie
