Easter Sunday

Loving all the kids new church clothes!! These aren't the best pictures but you do what you can when you only have a tripod and a timer for the photographer. The kids sang in Sacrament meeting and Tayla gave a talk about the meaning of the Easter lily, which I have, thanks mom, and is blooming like crazy. We had a yummy dinner at mom's house and, of course, more egg hunts!

Hiking!!

The falls were amazing today!! So much runoff. The kids had a great time following their dad wherever he would let them go. It was mostly an easy climb and they all did it on their own this time.

This is Paij and Brent's waterfall to our family, Bear Creek to others but either way, it's awesome!! There was so much water today!

Most of the kids took a shot or 2 at the soda cans but Cypress was the sharp shooter.

None of us let a little rain bother us. The fire had to have an umbrella over it while it was getting started but once it did, no more problems. The Hot dogs and smores tasted mighty fine today!

Good cousin bonding time!

City Egg Hunt

Safeway donated 400 dozen eggs for the Lion's Club to color and hid for the kids of Gridley and Biggs. There was a great turn out as always. Cypress found one of the Golden eggs, which means you get to turn it in and pick a stuffed animal prize - it's the bunny you see in her bucket at the end. It was cool because this was her last year hunting there as she'll be 10 next year and over the age limit. They all had a great time looking with their friends.

Easter Bunny!

The Easter Bunny hid the 2 dozen eggs that we colored and so they kids had to go around and fine them all Saturday Morning. Cypress had spent the night at a friends but asked to be picked up early so she wouldn't miss out. The other kids didn't think 8:15 was early enough and we impatiently waiting :)

Cypress is a fish in the summer so she was hooked up with new goggles and snorkel. No touchy Uncle Brent, they won't fit you!

Breakfast was of course the resurrection biscuits. They were as yummy as we remembered!

The night before, Kasen was very unsure of the whole egg and basket hiding thing but he learned it was super cool really quick.

They each got a new hula hoop and the girls are both quite the tricksters. The boys won't take long to catch up to them I'm sure. I think they like the hula hoops best of all.

Tyden was the last to find his bakset, even though it was hidden in the one place that he always hides. He couldn't even bring it in the family room to check out the spoils, he had to plop down in the hall and unload.

Tayla's basket was up on the fan, not too easy to see when you're only 4' 5"
