Easter Weekend...

We started our Easter festivities off on Thursday and played throughout the weekend!

Thursday Grandma Bush invited everyone over to color easter eggs at her house.

Friday we went to the bounce house since we had a great coupon from city deals. We had a fun time there and I think it wore both kids out!

That evening Kevin got home and we ate dinner and packed the kids in the car and headed to see Rio the movie. We liked it and thought it was fun entertainment.

Than Saturday morning I made easter treats in the kitchen while Kevin and the kids played outside, fertilized the lawn, and planted peas in our garden.

Than we filled easter eggs and went to do our Easter Egg Hunt and BBQ with the Bush Fam.

We had a great time! The kids put together a puzzle that was in an egg that was a pic of a kite and after the egg hunt we went and flew the kites.

The adults had a little contest too. To see who could keep their kite up the highest.

Sunday the Easter bunny visited and we had pancakes and got ourselves ready for church.

Than after church we went and did an egg hunt with the Dearden fam and had an awesome Easter Dinner.

What a great Easter weekend.

It was also nice to be able to talk to Cole about why we celebrate Easter and talk about our Savior! This month I have been doing the sharing time's in primary and I was grateful that I had an opportunity to bear my testimony of the savior and my love for the atonement of Jesus Christ.

How a pregnant women should sleep...

How incredibly sweet is it that I have a husband who thinks about me while he is at work, that on his lunch break he would look up how to help a pregnant women sleep better.

The last few nights I have been very uncomfortable even more than what seems usual for a women of almost 35 weeks along. My legs are achy and restless and cramp up and my hips, oh my hips. Not to mention the sciatic nerve thing. (Sorry a few complaints, However they are all worth it when that little baby gets in my arms). They are just not use to this much weight.

So when we were getting ready for bed last night, he was going around searching for all the pillows in the house. No really I think I had eight pillows all to myself.

He had them all set up and in the right spot, and told me just how so, to lay and hold the pillows.

It worked! I slept a ton better.

I love you Kevin you are so good to me!

Thanks.

Taxes and KFC...

Tonight we took dinner to Kevin at work! It has been a busy tax season and it is drawing to a close! Kevin's firm is trying to wrap everything up before Saturday and so these last few days have been some late nights for him.

He is so great though. He never complains and works so hard for our family. I sure love him!

It was fun to go and eat our dinner in his office tonight. The kids love to play and run around in the office and Dailey had a great time hitting the ten key buttons.

The Leverich Group has been good to us and I am really grateful for his job their. His co-workers are so friendly and nice to us when we come in and visit.

We are so blessed to have a job their and I might add they are pretty lucky also to have such a dang great guy!

The Kickers...

Cole had his first practice and game last night! His team consists of kids in our ward and the ward that shares our neighborhood. It was so fun to go and watch these cute little kids.

Cole has improved from last season by quite a bit. He seems to know where the ball is more and still likes to run around and be silly but also was really running hard after the ball.

My favorite was after he thought he scored not sure if he kicked it in or if it was a group effort but he ran right off the field and gave Dad, Dailey, and I a hug. He was so proud of himself.

Throughout the game he would run past us with a thumbs up sign.

He really looked like he was having a great time.

Should be a fun season. Go Kickers!

Conference Craft...

My good husband cut all the wood blocks for our conference craft. We spelled out spring on one side than you rotate it and it spells Easter.

I made this little page and put it into a frame.

Happy 65th Birthday...

We were able to go and celebrate my amazing mother in laws birthday. We all got together and had dinner and did a little craft for the kids. Thanks Susan. Our Party Planning Specialist ( no really you are so fun)! We had cake and ice cream too. It was a fun evening.

I am pretty blessed I guess I should say instead of the word lucky, to have the in laws that I do.

Judy you are a great Mother, Wife, and Grandma! We sure love you! Hope you have a wonderful year ahead full of fun!

New Swing Set and Conference Weekend...

On Friday we had our new swing set delivered! We were so excited for this little purchase to come and I am not sure but Kevin and I may have been more excited than Cole.

Kevin took off from work and was home when the fedex guy came. We started right away taking inventory of all the parts and organizing and labeling to help make it go quicker for building.

Kevin's Parents came later that evening and so did B&R and their family. Man are we so grateful for their help! It was a project. We have only been able to play on it a little bit since the weather was good for building it but now is back to being cold!

We really appreciate everyone's help in building because we took up their Friday night and also their conference saturday! Thanks guys!

They loved playing on the boxes.
Okay they were really excited!
Cole helped Kevin build the climbing wall by handing him the screws.
Lots of wood.
Lots of hardware.

I was in making our traditional cinnamon rolls when I looked out my kitchen window and saw three generations of Dearden's. I got all teary eyed and than had to run out to capture it on camera. Boy do I love these guys.
You can't see him well but their is my nephew up their who is totally into tools and hard work.

It looks so great! They did an awesome job putting it all together.
This is the handymen crew who put it together minus my hard working nephew who probably was still up their working on something. Not sure how we missed him in the picture.

Also I didn't get a picture of Rach and Judy my sis in law and mother in law who also gave up their weekend to help us!

Thanks again guys. We have been wanting a new swing set since last summer and are excited to enjoy this summer out on it.

These are conference bags that my Mom gave to all the grandkids. She told them not to open it till Sunday Morning when conference started. It was the first thing Cole ran to when he woke up. It was filled with treats and of course our traditional conference Bingo! Thanks Grandma &Pa.

Kevin set up his old train set when he was a boy and we sat their and listened to the afternoon session. The morning session we listened to while sitting downstairs all huddled up together with treats and blankets. I love being able to hold them all close and listen to inspired representative of the Lord. I especially love hearing those talks that help me be a better wife and mother. They were all so good.
