Spring has finally sprung! At least that is what we think every other day when it is nice and warm outside. Along with it has come a lot of other events. Melanie and Carter have started soccer again and it is so much fun to go and watch them chase the ball up and down the field. This year has been a little interesting as every time that there is a game it seems to be bad weather. I think that we have played 1/2 of the games that have been scheduled so far. Today we watched Melanie's second game and froze as we stood in the wind and rain but it was still fun. Tomorrow we will see what Carter's game brings.
Easter weekend proved to be a fun one for us. We thought about camping but decided that we didn't want to freeze so we just visited. We had plenty of other things that kept us busy though. On Friday we just hung out and then that night we decided to rent Madagascar 2 and camp out in the living room. The kids were so excited!! We made us a big bed on the living room floor and ate rootbeer floats and watched the movie. When it came time to sleep I had to move to the couch because my hips couldn't take the floor anymore. Everyone seemed to sleep real well except for me and the next day I could hardly move but hey, the kids thought it was great and that made it all worth it.
Saturday turned out to be a busy day for us. We got up and went to the Easter Egg hunt down at the park. The city did such a nice hunt for the kids, I couldn't beleive how much stuff they had out. The kids got their fair share of treats and had a good time. Carter was however very selective about what he picked up.
Afterwards, we went home and made breakfast and then we finally colored easter eggs. The kids had been asking since Friday morning and finally let them do it. I am such a party pooper. It was fun coloring eggs though they really had a good time and get so excited to see their finished eggs.
On Saturday we also went up and celebrated Haylee's Birthday with her. She is such a cute little stink and it was fun to watch her open her presents and get to share in the excitement with her. After her party we drove out to our friends camp west of Ephraim to visit. It was nice to see old friends that we haven't seen in a while and to just be in the mountains again. Carter and Melanie found their friends and we didn't hear much from them again until it was time to head home. They were however spotted climbing to the top of the rocks at the top of the mountain at the camp. Carter just doesn't realize that maybe his mom thinks that he is just a little to small to be doing some of the things that he does. As I spotted the girls climbing the hill I realize that they are pushing Carter helping him to the top. I swear nothing will stop the kid. He thinks that he can do anything that anyone else can.
Sunday was a beautiful day. The kids woke up to DS fun in their Easter Baskets and eggs hidden all over the yard. Carter didn't care to much about the eggs outside because he was cold and just couldn't put down his new KungFu Panda game but, it did seem like he ended up with the most candy in the end. Funny how that happens. He will be the first one to eat it all too.
Later on we rode out to Fayette Springs and had a little picnic and get together with my parents and some other friends. It was fun and the kids made some new friends. Afterwards we came home and went up to Stuart and Tracy's house and had a wonderful ham dinner. It was a nice Easter that we were able to spend together and just enjoy each other's company.
Now we have that all out of the way it is time to get ready for our Harley trip to Laughlin. It will be so fun to get away for a few days just Bart and I but we will surely miss our kids while we are gone. I have to admit though the closer it gets the more nervous I become so I am asking everyone to pray that everything will be ok for us. I think that we really don't know what we are in for but oh well it will be fun I'm sure and something new.
Sorry for the long post but I just had to let you all know what fun we have had the last week. I hope that you all had a wonderfull Easter weekend as well.
