Easter 2011

The Kids loved their Easter baskets the Easter Bunny brought!

Cheese!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Checking out the loot...

This year we went up to Pine Valley and spent it with the Macfarlane clan. We got the kids Easter egg hunt done with right before the hail started. I know, I know...hail in April? Mac and Julie did the annual adult Easter egg hunt again this year!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I only have anxiety about this thing. You have to hold hands with your spouse during the whole egg hunt. The year before...Josh drug me because I wasn't fast enough. This year...Scott mowed into Josh...which made Josh mow into me and knock me flying. All I can say is "OUCH!" It hurt so, so bad! We did pretty well this year though. We ended up getting quite a bit of money! (Did I forget to mention that the eggs are filled with ca$h not candy!!) It was fun spending the day with the fam. The kids had a nice sugar high goin' since their diet consisted mainly of candy.

I love my hubby and kiddos so, so much! I kinda like them! Happy Easter everyone!

Spring Break!!!!

For Spring Break I was able to take a few days off of work. In the 14 years I have lived here in St. George, I have never been to the Brigham Young home, the Tabernacle, or the Jacob Hamblin Home! I know, I know! They are right down the street! I thought it would be a fun and cheap way to spend our time. The kids had a BLAST! It was so much fun! We will definitely be doing that more often in the future. The kids enjoyed taking pictures and learning about Church History. They even got to see some pictures of their Great, Great, Great, Great Grandfather John Menzies Macfarlane! (I think that was enough Greats! I think!)

February decorations...

Happy February everyone! I love to decorate for every Holiday. Josh isn't too happy about all of the pink...but I think he can handle it for 1 month.

Pinewood Derby Winner!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I am so, so proud! Ayden was ecstatic!!!!!!!!! He did the designing of the car and did a fabulous job! All of the boys made amazing cars. It was a close race. He was on cloud 9! Boy Scouts is so much fun!

Christmas Festivities!

Ayden and Avery both got Play Station Portables from Santa! He sure is wonderful!!!!!!

Camden got a new scooter from Santa!

Santa came!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! They actually were good this year! (I was a little worried).

Sweater FLASHBACK!!!!!!!!!
My Mom knitted this sweater for me when I was about Avery's age! She loves wearing it around town.

Christmas Decorations by Ayden, Avery, Camden and Moose

This is the garland my kids and I made for Family Home Evening. We bought some chipboard cutouts and mod podged them. It was tons of fun!

Camden is 2!

The caterpillar cake I made for his birthday! I have sadly never made a cake for one of my kids birthdays before. I have always been a buyer of cakes. Pat on the back for me!

This is what happens when Daddy babysits!

Helping Dad pick up all the leaves!

Turned around and Camden was trying to put up the Christmas lights for Dad!

New Beginnings!

Our old house...

and our new house!

We are really enjoying this new home. I got a little carried away and decorated for Halloween in the beginning of September! This house has so much character and life! We are definitely in the RIGHT spot at this time in our life. Things feel good. I love when that happens! Most of the neighbors are wonderful and so kind. Our last neighborhood was very quiet and not very inviting. The neighbors we knew were great...but we didn't feel that we belonged. We fit better in this more used and lived in neighborhood...if that makes sense!?
