Category: Our Family

Saturday we loaded up and took Seth on his first road trip!

It was just a short one though, from our home to Ammon, Idaho to visit Wendy and John and to meet cousin Amelia. Grandma was just in heaven soaking up baby loves. I’m sad that Debby and her family weren’t able to come, or there might have been three babies on Grandma.

Before we went to bed Saturday night, John taught the kids how to play dominos.

This morning we got up and got ready for church for Amelia’s baby blessing. I didn’t take my camera to church, so I took pictures after we got back to the house and after things calmed down a bit.

Since Grandpa and Grandma, Tiffany and her family, and our family were all planning on leaving Monday morning, and John had work Monday morning, we decided to all meet at Ihop for breakfast before we split. Surprisingly most of the kids ate ALL of their food. Then it was time to head home. We were home in the afternoon, and Grandpa and Grandma stopped off to drop off a few things with us, then it was time to rest from driving so we can get back to normal for tomorrow.

This has been on crazy Easter weekend! Boiled eggs to color, two egg hunts, general conference….and the Easter Bunny made a visit during the night and more general conference today! Of course the kids were awake and ready to discover what the Easter Bunny left, long before conference started, so we did that first. Adam found a couple of eggs on his way out to the living room, but I think most of the them checked out their baskets before hunting for eggs.

Jeremy was excited to bring his little buddy out.

Once they had a good idea of what was in their baskets they wanted to know what they would find in the eggs, and so the egg hunting began.

With all of the egg hunts this weekend and the constant supply of candy, I really didn’t need to buy any jelly beans for conference bingo. The bags that I bought for that purpose are all still in the storage room!

I know that you can’t see that we are watching conference in this picture, but that is what we are doing I just couldn’t back up any farther. 🙂

I did have to take the grass out of everyone’s baskets today (usually it stays out for a little bit), but with Lydia playing with it like this it had to go away so we would have it for next year.

We also had our troop’s annual egg hunt in between conference sessions today.

We usually have it earlier (like right after the neighborhood hunt) and have donuts for everyone. But we couldn’t do that this year, and still be able to watch conference, so we pushed it to lunchtime and had a 10 foot sandwich and chips for lunch. 🙂

Seth didn’t hunt for eggs this year, but I’m sure he’ll be out there with all the big kids next year.

After the eggs were all found and everyone had eaten, we finished our activity by passing out awards.
