Easter Sunday

This morning turned out to be more hectic than normal...I was taking pictures as they were coming out to get in the car...thus no picture of all of them together like I had hoped...

Connor


Cheyenne


Sierra


Boston-not thrilled with having to change into his suit-notice the rebel still wearing the tie of his choice instead of matching with the others...owell...we love him anyway!


Annicha


Joran-mini GQ


Maren


It was a good Easter...Jeff's Bishop canceled their meetings this morning, so he got to attend church with us!!!! Yeah!!!

A Visit From the Easter Bunny

We have our egg hunt, and Easter bunny on the Saturday morning before Easter...I know there is lots of debate about both sides of this, but we choose to do it this way and it really works the best for our family...

waiting for the hunt to begin


ooops Maren picking up the candy that fell out of her egg


Joran found one of his


Boston looking high and low


Sierra trying to eat the plastic egg


Annicha having a candy snack on her egg hunt


Connor looking for eggs



Each child has a clue egg in their basket...they then find only their color eggs which of course the Easter Bunny hides respecting their age...poor Connor always has the hardest eggs to find!

Easter Egg Coloring

We colored easter eggs for a Family Home Evening activity...


working together...yeah!


processing...


We didn't get fancy or creative this year...we were lucky to get the eggs done!

Court of Honor and Pinwood Derby

First there was the pinewood derby...Boston's is the BYU Jimmermobile on the bottom...


the race is on


he always seemed to place second


just a little anxious...


some awards between heats...Boston receiving another belt loop...


Boston received an award for earning all the activity pins in Webelos


Having a fireside chat about moving up to Boy Scouts


arrow of light


arrow of light patch


Boston already earned his Boy Scout rank...yeah!!!



You worked really hard for all of these Boston...we love you!

Cheyenne's Driving...

Cheyenne went this morning to take her drivers test to get her permit...

So glad that Jeff teaches them to drive...me, it's an anxiety attack waiting to happen :0
Cheyenne spent her birthday in Provo...my mom and her drove down to meet Lisa and her family to see the Ballroom Dancers perform. They ate lunch at the Creamery on 9th before the concert..she had a great time! When she got home her birthday continued!
