Easter

I was totally unprepared for Easter this year.  I was out the Saturday before getting last minute things for the kids. I'm not usually so behind for holidays! But we pulled it off & I think my kids had a fun Easter full of the regular traditions.
Saturday was the usual egg hunt with the Hibbert side.  Tiff & Corey's backyard is perfect for an egg hunt, and Beka & Neil are expert egg-hiders.


Sophie was much more interested in playing than finding her eggs.  I found most of them.

Saturday after the Hibbert egg hunt, we had the Smarts over.  We had dinner, and instead of the usual egg hunt, we made each kid their own bag of candy, put their name on it & hid it.  


 The kids always look forward to coloring eggs.



 Sophie was much more interested in the dog, and didn't care that we were trying to get a picture of her with her big brothers & sisters in their Easter Sunday clothes.  She was a stinker that morning!

Catch up on Random Stuff

Here are a few random pictures from the last couple months!
I have many pictures of Mal & Soph sitting down to breakfast.  I usually take a picture with my phone & send it to Jared with a note saying: "Good morning Dad!"  He is almost always gone before they get up.
Ashton's team had a 3v3 tournament at Sparta's indoor facility.
This is the team with their "awards".
Mallory & Sophie hard at work at the office
We've been down to City Creek several times.  I LOVE it.  
Seth & Monica were VERY nice to not just help put our basketball hoop together, but basically do it all from beginning to end.  They are great friends & neighbors! Ashton & Conner love it, and "go shoot hoops" (as they put it) everyday.
That time of year again where I forget to put sunscreen on my very fair kids!! 
Now this is what takes place every Sunday after dinner - a game of Speed. It is fun!
Conference Sunday - Emma & Mal crashed on the couch & Kels, listening to conference on the radio in her room, crashed there.  I took a picture of Kelsey too, but she deleted it.  Rude.
We took the kids down to City Creek for FHE one day.  

Will likes Kelsey more than he likes me.  I both love that & hate that. He's the best!
