My Bro's Wedding and Easter Events

On Thursday I headed up to the Valley with the boys for my Brother Jack's wedding. Benjamin had been asked to be the Ring Bearer. So on Thursday he had a rehearsal to attend. We stayed the night at the Ramada Hotel next to Arrowhead mall. Which is always huge hit with the kids. I met up with my family and a few of my Aunts and Cousins from Utah. Scott was not able to come up Thursday but he joined us Friday around Noon. The wedding wasn't until 7pm Friday night. So during the day we hung out at the mall and let the kids play and do some shopping. Then we had to be at the church at 5:30 for pictures, we were all so tired by then. After the wedding we stayed for the Reception and enjoyed some yummy food and dancing! We had to leave at 9pm due to a 2hr drive home..so not fun! All the kids fell asleep as soon as we started driving making it extremely quiet and hard for me to stay awake and drive. We had such a great time and enjoyed seeing everyone! Congrats again Jack and Becky! Jack and Becky dancing their "First Dance as Husband and Wife"
Scott and the boys enjoying a little bubbly! YUM!!

Family Picture..hmm these things never turn out right!

WE spent a lot of time here on Friday before the wedding!

Easter Events!

At Ben and Quade's Preschool they had an "Egg Hunt" and Party..we were not aloud to call it an EASTER Egg Hunt...SO Lame. On Easter Sunday we went to Mark and Denise's house for Dinner. The kids had a blast having our own "EASTER Egg Hunt" Denise also prepared a wonderful lesson for the kids about the true meaning of Easter. And of course it wouldn't be a party with out the boys getting all dirty.


My Nephew Thomas, Ben and Niece Lauren with the Easter Bunny
Quade is absolutely terrified of large stuffed walking animals and refused to go anywhere near the bunny.



Jarett enjoying a cup cake from the school party.

Lauren is such a great helper with Jarett!


Ben, Thomas, Lauren and Quade with their Easter eggs!
Ben was very disappointed when he found out they were "real eggs" and not the plastic one's with Candy in them.


My little Poser


Wow Check out those Tonsils!


Thomas, Quade, Papa, Lauren and Ben after their egg hunt



Hooray Quade found one!



I found this picture so funny. Thomas is covering Quade's face with his hand..prior to this happening Thomas Sneezed in Quade's face, so Quade turned to him stuck his tong out and started spitting at Thomas resulting in the picture above.

Ben Thomas and Quade having a great time playing in the Mud and getting all wet!

You guys live in AJ? That's not too far, cool. We have been searching and trying to find a good/cheep way to have these girls ride some horses!
