So Egg-citing

Madison, Bailee and Ashton waiting with anticipation to run outside and find treat filled eggs.  Jeff and I had a fun time hiding the eggs.  The weather was beautiful that weekend!!
Must look now!

Grandma and Bailee hunting together.

Yay!  Dad and Ash found an egg.

Time for a trampoline break!

The cheering section.  Grandpa Bobby, Uncle Justin and Aunt Jill and Bailee (this must have been a pre-hunt photo).

Good job Ash! (I'm pretty sure there's an egg there!)

Bailee and Grandma


Cascade Park

We went to Cascade Park while we were in Orem during Easter/Spring Break.   



Bailee kept asking if we could go to the park.  I told Jeff that we might as well go sooner than later, so we could have some peace.


We had a great time.  There are times when I totally love playing with the kids at the park and feel like a kid again.


First Sampler

I didn't make these Easter treats, but I prettied them up.  I often live by the semi-homemade motto.   Life is just so busy, and depending on what we enjoy doing and where our focus is, sometimes we need assistance in whatever ares we might be lacking in.  I enjoy cooking and baking, but I don't always have the time to make goodies.  

Ashton was the first to sample the treats.

He took two nibbles and was done!  Off to play, tease and make messes!

All His Own

Grandma Susie helped Ashton with coloring his eggs.

We gave him a light color to use,

which worked well since he had his hands in it....a lot!

He absolutely loved it!!


Gettin' Eggie With It

We dyed eggs at Grandma and Grandpa Litton's house.

My cute little girl

My handsome man

We used Kool Aid to color the eggs.  It worked really well and was easy.

Working It Out

Here are me and Ashton cuddling after Jeff and I got home from exercising.  We try to go on walks every day, weather permitting.  The weather hasn't been letting us as much as we'd like too lately.  We bundle up though, when needed, and head out for a lovely walk.  It's a great time for Jeff and I to get some exercise, spend time together and talk.  When we aren't able to go for walks outdoors, we go to the rec center and use the elliptical machines and stationary bikes.  We've really been enjoying it!  

Just Waiting...

The kids and I waited in the car,

while Grandma Susie and Jeff,

went into Smiths in Orem,

to grab a couple of things.

We had a wild and woolly time!  I didn't get to capture the craziest stunts.  Life with kids, never a dull moment.

Good Ole' Music

 
 
Kelly Clarkson-Catch My Breath 
 


 
 
Pink-Try 
This is an interesting video, but a little on the "Whoa!" side.  I'm not a huge fan a Pink's music but I really like this one. 
 


 
Imagine Dragons-It's Time
 


 
Little Big Town-Tornado
I wish a house would land on each and every one of the sick son of guns in this world who hurt innocent people.  I could go on in a big old rant, but I won't.

Playing in the Backyard

 The kids had a great time playing in Grandma and Grandpa Litton's backyard during Easter break.

The weather was so nice that weekend, temps in the 70's!


Getting a little too big for the slide!!
