Easter

For Easter this year we headed up to Cache Valley. Saturday morning we made it early to the Lewiston easter egg hunt. We had to make sure we were on time!! Fortunately we made it in time, but for some reason my kids weren't quite as excited as I was. When the time came, I got a little too excited and I might have "encouraged" Ryker a little too much. I gave him a little push to go and he toppled right over. Then Carson (my nephew) fell right over him. It was pretty funny. My mom finished helping Ryker out until he got the hang of it and I headed over to check on Cooper.
Coop did really good and got a ton of eggs. The sad things was that he didn't get a "P" egg. A prize egg. He was pretty upset about it and didn't want to take any pictures after. We were all laughing because it was pretty funny. I did go up afterward and ask if they had any leftover prizes. Luckily they did, which helped a little bit.








After the Easter egg hunt. My parents had an Easter party that was so much fun! First we stopped at the farm to see some baby calves and kittens. The kids weren't too sure about the animals but they warmed up to them and even held the kittens.









Afterwards, we had a great lunch and on to the games. They had an Easter egg hunt for the kids and the adults. The adult game was pretty competitive and my brother Stephen came out the big winner but I do have to say we all ended up pretty well off! They put so much work into it and hopefully it turns into a tradition! Coop even found a hidden egg a week later.





The Rich Easter party was next but before we headed there we stopped at Old Main hill to roll some Easter eggs. I love watching the kids with there little legs running down the hill as fast as they can. They think it's so fun to see the eggs exploding all over the hill.




We got to the Rich household just in time for an awesome Easter dinner. After dinner we were all stuffed but we had even more running to do because there were more Easter egg hunts to go on. The kids were first and Coop and Ryk did great. They got more cash to add to their loot and they were in heaven. The adults were next and it got competitive. The guys were nice enough to give the girls a fifteen second head start and we were off. We all found our eggs and both Brad and I were happy but we weren't the big winners...oh well!! :)




Easter day I woke up early to get ready for church. The boys had been up late so we decided to let them sleep in. I was so excited to see the boys find their Easter baskets but Ryker was the only one up before I left. I made Brad promise to take pictures when Coop woke up. Brad met up with me after sacrament meeting and then took off a little early from church with Ryker because Ryks wasn't feeling well. When I got home Brad had already put Ryker to bed for his nap so we didn't get a picture in our Easter clothes, but Coop and I got one.






My parents came down for Easter dinner. I was so excited they came. It's alwasy fun to spend time with them. After dinner they climbed into bed with the kids and I took this picture. I love it! What a great ending to a fabulous Easter weekend!!
