Happy Easter! We hope everyone had a wonderful day filled with lot's of fun and family. As well as the love of our Savior and the knowledge of his sacrifice for us.
Here are my cute little Easter Bunny boys! They had to put this on one day at the store!
Rett has been working WAY too much lately. They have this big job at work, and I've gotten spoiled since we moved to Idaho because he hasn't been working much overtime. So now that he's working 5am to 4pm, and he worked Saturday and Sunday this past week, I have been missing him terribly. Not to mention the boys. So Saturday I took the boys to a little community Easter Egg Hunt. They got way too much candy and I've had to confiscate it and give it out when they are extra good or after they've eaten all their food. Anyway, they were super excited for when Dad got home from work Saturday evening so that we could dye eggs. Amazingly, coloring eggs was fun and not too messy! Crew really wanted to eat one, but the boys were all ready for bed, so I didn't let them. But the next morning, he asked for one for breakfast. I'm not sure how much he's actually eaten boiled eggs, but he LOVED them. I had to cut him off because he kept wanting more and more. I was excited for deviled eggs for dinner because I thought he'd love them, but he didn't. So I'm not sure if it was a fluke or if he just likes plain old hard boiled eggs.
They got these little kites in their baskets Sunday morning, which is a funny story. Not the kites, but their baskets. I was planning to get up with Rett at 4:30 Sunday morning and set their baskets out then, but since we weren't planning for him to work all day, and I wasn't staying up to workout (Which I have been doing every other day that he's been going into work at 5! My old workout and running buddies would be so proud! It just makes for early nights around here! We've all been falling asleep together between 8 and 9!) Anyway, so I didn't manage to get out of bed, just got a sweet kiss goodbye from my hunny and fell back asleep. Crew came into my room around 7:30 and said he couldn't find his Easter stuff. I told him I'm sure they were there, that maybe the Bunny just did a super good hiding job! I told him to stay in my room while I went and looked :) I found them! What do you know! And the boys were really stoked. What a slacker mom though! For a dollar something kite, these actually did really well. And the boys loved it. We did get them tangled together a couple of times. And Crew lost his once, and was upset because it stayed up in the air FOREVER and he didn't think it was coming back down. But when it did, he went running for it. It was so cute! There was the perfect wind for flying the kites. And tons of open space, which was also perfect! I just love the openness of the country! So nice for things like this! Someday there will be some grass around here too. Speaking of which, we have had a couple of bids for sprinkler systems and UGH! We were spoiled when we bought our first home because all the landscaping was done! But at some point, we'll get some green instead of just the brown dirt!
Bampa Kip and Bamma Deb came over for a simple little dinner and helped with the kite flying. It was really nice to just be here at home with our family! Makes me grateful for such a great husband who works so hard for us and for two crazy and amazing boys who teach me everyday and who love me even when I'm the crazy one! Life just doesn't get any better than quality time with your family. And that is my favorite part of life!
