Easter Celebrations

Before we get into Easter, I thought I should let everyone know how excited Ty was to wear his new church shoes. 'Goofy' really is the only word that comes to mind.

Now for Easter.
We egg hunted at Grandma and Grandpa Shaw's.
I am afraid this will be most of the faces on Brooke's pics, she's posing.

Jordo finding the magic money egg!


Ty takes his egg hunting very seriously.

Then to Grandma and Grandpa Gay's for more eggs!

Grandma Gay sent all the grandkids (except for Zach, who we missed, but will be in Utah this summer, hooray!) on an "Amazing Race".

Here is Jordo making his shots before he can move on to the next level.

We Easter crafted all sorts of things that had way to much sugar in them.

And we pinned some tail on this bunny.

Here's a shot with most the kiddos. Brooke was napping and Cody was happy being left alone. It's always a good time when we get these kiddos together. We only wish it could happen more often.

Happy Easter!

"Be thou a beaver?"

This past weekend was Conference! We love Conference at our house and we try to hype the kids up for a few weeks, so we don't have too many meltdowns. We try to come up with lots of activities and distractions so we can watch as much as possible.

We even go so far as to bring the kids mattress into the front room.

This time, like other times, we had Conference Bingo for the kids and Ty took this very seriously.

At the beginning, the kids were very excited and listened to every word, hoping they could put an M&M on the square. I think it was Elder Perry who quoted the scripture, "Be thou a believer" and Ty started looking at his paper, "Beaver? Do you have a beaver? I don't have a beaver?"

We loved it and just said we didn't think there was a beaver square and to keep listening.

We loved Conference and love that our kids are starting to appreciate it too!
