Happy Easter!!!!


For the past few years we've started off Easter weekend with a hunt at the Islands park! They do such a good job and the Easter Bunny comes over on a boat while the "Peter Cottontail" song is playing. The kids just love it!


Later that day we went over to Grammy's and painted eggs. I got this splatter paint egg kit that didn't end up working so we just made the best of it. Grammy's friends got her this snazzy wig after her brain surgery....it's come quite in handy and looks great!



After a super yummy dinner on Sunday we did another egg hunt for the kids in the backyard. I think Kirsten and I went a little over the top with candy and stuff but it was fun! It was a Happy Easter for sure:)

Spring Break


Okay so it's taken me weeks to finally post about spring break....oh well at least I'm doing it:) Our week wasn't full of things to do each day like we normally do. We had just gotten back from camping and we were recovering from that....well maybe I just was! I decided one day to drive down to my sis Tifani in Tuscon for the day. The kids were so excited to see each other and play. Her house is always so calming to me and so nice....so much that I literally passed out on the couch for a few minutes and had no energy to snap out of it. They had this cute little cowboy village by their house called "Dust Town"....I think that's what it's called. It was the cutest place and we had a lot of fun there with the kids. We watched a gun show....had a train ride....the kids panned for gold and a lot of it was free....it was great!






Dave and I took the kids one night to see "Alice in Wonderland 3D".....wow was that an experience. It was a little odd at times but still a good time and the kids had fun!


A couple days later we went out to "RAWHIDE" with my other sis Adria and her family. In my family we grew up going to ghost towns and cowboy towns....my Dad has a soft spot for them. So of course us kids do as well! They had a special that day for a family pass for all the attractions. I'm glad it was on sale because it wasn't as fun as we remembered it to be but we still had a good time together.

My sis and I kissing "John Wayne" I think and Ty on his first bull ride....wooooohooooo! Oh and our little fam in the slammer....so sad so sad so sad. I love Ashlynn pouting off into the distance! So that was our spring break full of family fun!!!
