Easter 2017

We got to color eggs. Wyatt only dropped 4 of his 6, but the luckily still colored nicely. then Saturday before Easter we had some family friends over for pizza and a egg hunt. We had 24 kids in our back yard searching for 240 eggs. It was awesome, should have gotten some before and after pictures put didn't have my phone out. We only found one egg a couple days later by the clothes line in the dust.
 

 

 
Easter morning we got baskets from the Easter Bunny and he hid our hard boiled eggs for us to find. Wyatt did not take long to catch on the candy eggs and would it them fast then fast before Mom or Dad would stop him from stuffing his mouth full of jelly beans.

Sure do love these 3 with all my heart!

Then we got to go to Church and celebrate the resurrection of our Savior! and Family dinner with Ham and deviled eggs to finish the weekend.
I am so grateful for this simple holiday to remember and celebrate my Savior's sacrifices for me to be able to return to live with him again some day.

Garth Brooks

Garth Brookes came to the PAN AM in Las Cruces, our old stomping grounds April 8-11th. 

Lacey and Chandler called and invited us to meet them there since it was in the middle for both of us. We were a little late in agreeing so by the time we tried to get a hotel there were not a lot of options but we decided we could make anything work for one night. We also managed to talk our parents into going with us! Garth Brooks had 5 concerts that weekend to meet all of the demand. which worked out great for us so we could divide and split the kid duty. The Johns, Sterling and Ariel, Britton and I went to the afternoon show. It was so fun! I can't believe the energy level Garth performs at, I may not know all of his songs but hearing Britton and Chandler sing every word was really fun.

Then after figuring out our hotel rooms and finding enough beds for everyone the grandparents got a turn to go to the evening concert. They had a great time and had worn out the kids for us taking them to the Farm and Ranch museum in the afternoon.

We got green chili cheeseburgers and zeebs frozen ice for dinner. and were back on the road the next morning right after breakfast. It was a crazy fast trip, only being in town for 20 hours. But totally worth it for Garth, love him, I am a huge fan now! ;)

Spring Break

While we were in WY Britton, had to work, but the day he had off he made the boys a bunk bed, from recycled wood, he had help our friends take down some faux  beams in their house and they let us have the pieces.

I cried the first night we got home and the crib was already in the shed, Wyatt and Conway LOVED the bunkbeds and never had a problem transitioning into them. They love that they basically have an instant fort whenever they want. Throw a few blankets or attach a rope and they are in heaven.

 One day we did a jewelry craft made our own beads and jewelry. The big kids did great and had fun.

Also made it to the aquatic center one day and had a good time swimming excited for the pool this summer.

For not be able to travel for spring break we sure did fill up our week with fun things and it was so fun just to be together.
