Happy Easter!!

This Easter was a blast.  We decorated eggs for the Easter Bunny to hide on Saturday night and then went to Ben & Loni's house on Sunday for some good old fashioned family fun!  Definitely one of the best Easters yet.  We didn't get a pic of Bridger with his basket b/c he woke up before us and tore into it!  He got lots of candy, a Junie B. Jones book and a tennis racket he's been begging for.  Thanks to Tiff for coming all the way out from Reno with 250 eggs for the kids to hunt for, and thanks to Loni for hosting such a lovely shindig!!  I can't wait for more holidays to come!  

Here is Ben kicking his sack off from the race...he was pouting a little.
Nancy(Mom) coming to the rescue after Bryce's fall.
The epic fall.  Poor Bryce, he totally face planted when he fell...am I allowed to say how hysterical it was though?

The boys getting ready to race. Jas isn't showing off at all.
The girls after our race.
So I'm a little behind, I was just trying to make Nantz feel better about being in last place! :)
Yep, I'm rockin some bunny ears!
These are our sexiest bunny faces.

Bridger fell at the end of the kids race.  Also very amusing.

Cute little Emily posing in her bunny ears.

Here I am pouting in the house while everyone else is out searching for eggs.  I was watching the little ones.

250 eggs later...

The troops getting ready to hunt!

Smiley Smellie woke up on the right side of the bed Easter morning!!
Jason put together his (early)Father's day present Saturday afternoon, oddly enough the Easter bunny hid an egg in there.  Maybe soon it will warm up enough to move the bbq outside!
Go B!

Coloring eggs around 11PM!


Let the festivities begin!

EVERYTHING ELLIE!



Here is the post ya'll have been waiting for...we finally got Smellie's pictures done! We got some very cute shots.  Below the professional pics are just some randoms we have taken of her throughout the last few weeks.  She's growing so fast.  My mom weighed her on her scale and she was a whole 8.2lbs...which I guessed spot on!  Pretty much the size of a regular newborn.  She's taking 5oz every 4 hours. We get to bed around 10 and she usually wakes up between 4 and 5 to eat during the night.  She's been such a great baby and keeps us all smiling everyday!


Dad being a good sport.

The only time i've slightly resembled my mama.

Still got dad's half smile!

Model posing.
Neener neener...my dad taught me this.
I've got some silly smiley faces.


SOOOOO BIG!

B's First Soccer Game


Bridger had his first soccer game on the 7th.  This is the first year he's done any sport.  We asked him which sport he wanted to do and he chose soccer.  He and Jason had played a few times but nothing really serious.  He has seemed to catch on pretty quick and has really enjoyed playing so far.  I hope he keeps interest in this and continues playing as he gets older.  He is doing AWSOME!

Happy Birthday Tahsha, Bridger and Leah!


In the past couple of weeks we have had 3 birthday parties! Tahsha turned 24, Bridger turned 7 and Leah turned 2.  The fam just keeps getting bigger so we have a lot more celebrations than we used to I guess.  Brad threw Tahsha a surprise party at his parents amazing new house, J and I had a party for Bridger at Jumpin' Jacks and Leah's party was at Brad's parents house as well.  The parties were great and lots of fun for the kids most of all.  I never was close with the few cousins I had growing up so its fun for me to see Bridger and how much he loves playing with Leah and Toby even though they are so much younger.  Luckily he has some his own age thanks to Jason's sisters and their kids.  Thanks to everyone who came to all of the parties!


Leah got some bubbles for her b-day and Toby for some strange reason thought they were binoculars.  So cute!
Another one of Toby mesmorized with Leah's present from Nana and Papa.  Elmo Live, its the cutest toy!  If you haven't seen what he does go and play with one at the store...you'll definitely get a good laugh!
Leah looks so much older in this picture...I swear she just turned 2!
This one is Leah giving a kiss to J, thanking him for our present.


Toby got a little excited about the frosting.

This is Toby rockin J's beanie.

For some silly reason Toby loves getting into the little baby carseats. Love this little girl!
