Easter Bunny Comes to Town

Who knew the Easter Bunny had so many names...thanks so much to Grandma, Parvana (our adorable and kind neighbor), the Mackays, and the Walkers for helping us celebrate Easter!
We have enough candy for next year's town egg hunt, it'll stay fresh for a year right?

We spent a fun day with the Mackays hunting for eggs and sharing fun times with good friends.



Easter Sunday:

The kids have started sleeping in on the weekends and what kind of mother would I be if I stopped that trend? So, they're not in their nice Easter outfits (we'll have to do a fashion photo opp in the future).

Our backyard isn't the softest, most luxurious place to find eggs. I like to call it the mud pit. Bry has a break in a few weeks and we are planning on sodding and planting and pretending like we are master gardeners even though we kill everything we touch. So exciting!


We made "edible arrangements" for our great neighbors.

I think they turned out pretty cute and I know our friends appreciated that we didn't give them candy!

Walking and Riding

Hyrum and Ivy have both reached fun milestones in the last few months. I know the Grandmas will love to see our silly home movies.

Ivy is the cutest little walker. I'd been waiting and pining for her to walk so we could spend more time outside without scratching her hands and knees (not to mention staining all her clothes with mud and grass). Now I really can't decide which is worse: a crawler who depends on you for mobility or a toddler who understands that if she wants to walk over and throw all of the apples out of the bin, she sure can! It has been an adjustment to have two kids running in different directions, but Hyrum has been a wonderful help.


Hyrum has graduated to a big boy bike and has only fallen THREE TIMES. Who gave him the clumsy genes you ask? Yes that's right, ME.

Warm Weather Regrets

There's only one depressing part about the warm weather... Ivy can't wear her hat anymore! We received HUNDREDS of compliments on this hat and I agree- she looks adorable in it! Thanks Aunt Traci!
