Easter 2011

Our busy Easter Weekend...

We went to Ellensburg right after Kate got out of school on Friday and saw my Grandpa Paul who is in the rehab center. He fell a few weeks ago and has had pneumonia so he's been having a hard time. It was really good to see him and my Grandma though. Then we headed to Tri-Cities to Melanie & Milo's and I got my hair highlighted and trimmed- it had been a LONG time so I was excited to get it done. Dee Ann was there visiting. She had flown up and surprised Melanie which was awesome because she has never done that. It was her spring break. We ate a yummy lasagna dinner with amazing french bread from Yolk's (I'm still drooling Melanie!). We swung by Jeni & Kevin's to see her cutely decorated home and then went to Mattawa late that night.

The next morning we went to Connell to watch Jared's baseball game. It was a beautiful day!

Jared even got cheerleaders- whether he wanted them or not! I think he was a bit embarrassed by ALL of us cheering. Joys of being the youngest. :)

My Mom brought all the stuff for a picnic/bbq lunch. We were grilling hot dogs when a kid came up trying to buy one! We had to laugh because we weren't selling them, but maybe we should have.

Reagan and Lindsey playing. They are only a week apart so it's fun to watch them together. Lindsey was stealing Reagan's toys and Reagan would try to get them back. Reagan is so laid back and will sit in one spot for a long time whereas Lindsey is moving around and into everything. It's funny seeing the differences in their personalities.

We dyed Easter eggs and then did an Easter egg hunt on Saturday afternoon. The kids were sad when Aubree found the golden egg with money inside (she found it last year too and everyone remembered that!). So my Mom quickly got more golden eggs with money inside and hid them for everyone to find one!

Here's our kids on Easter after Church. It was really sunny and bright so they didn't want to look up. Preston was way more interested in James. My Mom made all the girl's dresses and skirts. Very cute!

And my pictures are all blurry in the corners. Weird. Not sure why. I'm sad about it actually.

Trying to get a cousin picture was even more interesting!

Us girls! Woot Woot! :)

And to end our Easter festivities, Jared had his Eagle Court of Honor Sunday night. He is a good kid and very cute I might add. :) We are proud of him!
