Easter Fun!

I love these kids!!! They are awesome! Here they are in their Sunday best for Easter Sunday, except sweet Nicholas was at Grandmas because he was sick he did not get to go to church.

Nicholas feeling better was playing in Grandma's sand box with Max, enjoying the sunshine!

Max wanted the Easter Egg hunt to start "RIGHT NOW!"



Sydney got a huge load of eggs! Jake was helping Nicholas with his eggs...hmm Jake I wonder if you had ulterior motives??? (maybe a little candy for Jake too?)
Sydney climbing grandma's tree for an egg

Isn't 13 years old getting a little too old for an Easter Egg hunt??

Andrew found a Golden Egg!!

Kirk and Chandler were enjoying the sunshine too!


Nicholas (Jake) made a haul!!!

Dylan and Kalli...Cousin Fun!


Travis, Dylan, Kalli and Raegan
It's fun to get to see these cute kids grow up together.
Happy Easter!

Sunny Days in Salt Lake

We had a beautiful day today in Salt Lake. We took in a bunch of Church History sites and enjoyed the beautiful, long awaited sunny weather!
I had to snap a picture of my kids walking ahead. I love that Andrew is arm in arm with Tyler.

I love my family! I seriously enjoy being with them and going places. Even though we are large in numbers, the kids are really well behaved and we just enjoy being together...I love that!!
All nine kids in front of the Temple.

Sydney LOVES to strike a pose

We had fun posing in front of the Temple, everyone wanted to have their own picture in front of the Temple.

Our friends the Hatchs met us there, our kids love hanging out together.

We enjoyed a pic nic before we headed into the Church History Museum

I love Nicholas' cheeks!
The kids had a ball playing on the second floor. There is a ton of stuff for the kids to do that is all hands on, they loved it! We stayed 2 hours in this museum. It was way fun!!!
Andrew trying to lift the replica Gold Plates

The kids got to put on costumes and learn a Mexican dance.
The whole Salt Lake experience today was awesome. So many fun times so many memories.

Spring Swimming

Max was loving this, he had a ton of fun!

We took the kids to the Lehi Swimming Pool today. We had a blast! Well Nicholas didn't think it was so much fun at first. This was his first time ever going swimming.

This pool has a giant bucket of water that dumps out every few minutes, Kalli and Jake got caught right in the middle of it.
