When Jason's family came to visit back in April, we decided to take some family pictures. Jason's cousin, Misty, is an amazing and very talented photographer and took some great pictures of our family. So I thought I'd share them since it's only been two months since we've taken them.
Well, I thought since I've been really bad at blogging lately that I better come back with a pretty good post. So I'll start with this for now because I'll still have a lot more to post about. I decided back on the 1st of May that I was tired of doing the boys hair (i.e. washing, styling, etc). It was just taking too much time and I wanted something easier. I suggested to Jason that he just buzz it all off, I was kidding of course, but he jumped at the chance and ran to get the clippers. I couldn't believe it, but I let him shave the boys heads. Well, give them buzz cuts. I think he used a #2 on the clippers. Logan was the first and he jumped up in the chair and sat perfectly still while Jason buzzed off all of his beautiful blond hair. He was so happy and loved it. I, on the other hand, almost cried....again. It's just so hard to see that kind of haircut when they've had long hair for so long. But he really needed a summer haircut because he gets really sweaty and having all that hair doesn't help. Up next was Dax. We were actually just going to do Logan's hair, but Dax really wanted to have his daddy cut his hair too. So Jason went to town on Daxon's hair too....shaved it all off. Now we have two cute, bald boys! I love it!
It stinks when the weather is crappy for Easter. I guess you just expect it to be nice and warm since it is spring, but we didn't get that kind of weather. It was rainy and cold. We still had a good time though. The kids woke up to find that the Easter bunny had hid their baskets and left them a special note that led them on a scavanger hunt to find their baskets. They went from the living room to the hall closet to the bathroom to the kitchen sink to the washer and then upstairs to find their baskets. That sneaky bunny! The kids loved that they had to find their baskets. After getting their Easter baskets they went on the hunt for their easter eggs inside and outside. Grandma Sharon hid some eggs outside for them. Those lucky kids got two easter egg hunts.
The kids had lots of fun dying their easter eggs this year because it's always funner when you have your cousins and family their to help! They loved having their cousin Kya around to play with and they loved holding their cousin Eli....couldn't get enough of it. They kept asking me when they we're going to get a baby. Um....yeah don't you love that question?! Before the egg dying took place, the grandkids (minus Logan and Eli) got to go to a movie with their Grandma Sharon. She was very brave and took Afton, Dax and Kya to see "How to train your Dragon in 3D". They all survived and made it back to dye some eggs.
We were so lucky a couple weeks ago because we had some very special visitors. Jason's parents and his sister, Kari, and her husband, Ben, and their kids Kya and Eli came to visit us for Easter. It's kind of a tradition now that they come for Easter since it's been happening for the past few years and we love that they come see us. On Friday, April 2nd, the day after they got here we had a very busy day. First, we took a trip down to the animal museum (a.k.a. Jason's work). His uncle had gotten in some new animals so we wanted to check them out. The kids love going there and seeing all of the animals now that they're not so scared of them. We hung out at Jason's office for a little while and then we headed back home for our Primary Easter Activity. All of the kids were really excited for the activity. They each decorated their own easter bag, played some fun relay games, colored some awesome easter pictures, and then hunted for some easter eggs. I had to help with the relay games and we had planned to play them outside but the weather wasn't cooperating so we moved them into the cultural hall. Luckily it stopped raining for our easter egg hunt and we were able to do that outside.....really quickly though before it started raining again. After the activity, Dax had a t-ball game. I couldn't believe it but they still played in the rain. It was just a light drizzle but it was cold and we were definitely getting wet. He played first base for this game and did an awesome job. He has a great little but strong arm and can throw the ball and catch really well. He needs a little help with the hitting part but we're working on that.
