Happy Easter

-

We hope everyone had a great Easter last week! We invited some friends over, had an exciting little egg hunt and settled in for two solid days of Conference. As you can see, the kids had a ton of fun looking for eggs. We hid candy in several dozen plastic eggs and placed them around the back yard. Once the children were released from the house there was running, squealing in delight, and munching on jelly beans by all who participated.

Bekah made sure I knew she was good at finding eggs. She reiterated several times to me this talent was due to her excellent eye sight. Loyd just had fun finding the eggs. He got quite the thrill out of discovering another hidden treasure trove of chocolate and happiness.



Along with some sidewalk chalk, new beach toys and some candy the Easter Bunny dropped off some play dough. This has become one of their new favorite things to play. They roll it, smash it, shape it, cut it and try to eat it when mom isn't paying attention. Loyd will eat play dough, but he won't touch dinner. Go figure....

The kids and I have been working hard to keep our driveway and the driveways of some of our elder neighbors cleared after all of this wonderful snowfall.  It's been a fun wintertime treat.  The ward to the child who shoveled the most for this storm goes to Rebekah!  She's a pretty awesome snow shoveler despite her preferenc...

Xavier is getting down to work on this year's science fair project.  He's testing to see which oil is best for popping popcorn.  It's important science. John and Diana are enjoying playtime inside boxes, because boxes are the best, of course! John is starting to have fun playdates with friends from the neighborhood.  It's so fun to find good friends who share a love in all things Paw Patrol!
