Easter and Spring Break...

We were off school Thursday and we went to Sky Park and played the day away. Than later that night we came home and got pizza and headed to grandma and grandpa Bush's for a tree trimming and coloring eggs party.

Than Friday we took the kids to Olive Garden around 3:00 and boy is that the time to go. No crowds, just a few older couples. Tayson was a bit afraid of one lady. But this older man walked over and said your kids are so well behaved. Kevin told him we threatened them before we came in. :)
Than we took them down to an indoor playground and Arcade. It was a friday night and no one else was on the playground so kevin and I got in and played tag with the kids. We scuffed up our knees pretty good but it was a fun night.

Saturday we went to soccer games and than hit the Bush Family for an Easter Egg Hunt and the annual Egg Roll.

On Sunday we got to spend Easter with the Dearden's we had a yummy ham dinner. I made a carrot cake from scratch. It didn't look that great but it was fun to make. Than we did a big Easter Egg Hunt with cousins! It was such a fun weekend.


















Trimming Trees and Egg Coloring party...






My Parents have needed there apple and cherry trees trimmed for quite some time and have done some on their own but they asked if people could help and so we had the whole family come over and trim trees while some of the Moms and kids were inside coloring eggs for Easter!
It was a fun night and it was nice to see people working together.

Cole's Class Easter Egg Hunt...




Cole took the Egg Hunt quite serious. He had to hold his basket in his mouth to get to the other side of the playground. Ha. ha. Each child got to find eggs with their initials on them. I came earlier and helped hide the eggs around the grounds of the school.

Egg Drop at the school...





Cole and Dad made a very light weight cushion pillow with extra batting I had around the house. Two years running and we are 2 for 2.

Kite Flying….










Cole had a kite flying activity at school and he loved it! So the next day was Friday we took the kids back to the school and flew kites for awhile. It was such a fun little activity to run around and we flew those kites pretty high. One kite got away from us and we had to go ask some people in the homes nearby to get the kite back.

2014 Garden...







Kevin said he would plan family home evening! He chose to plant the garden for our FHE. I was so excited because I have been wanting to get going on it!
The kids Love it too. We planted peas and green beans.
