Our MONTANA Visit!

Yeah Visitors!!

My brother Toby and his family, came down for a FUN packed weekend at the end of March. We had soo much fun, but Mason definitly had the MOST fun with cousins-a-plenty to play with. We went to the ZOO and checked out all the animals and posed for some pictures. It was a little chilly but that didn't stop the kids any! The next day, we went to Boondocks fun center and we played as many games as we could! Mason LOVED the Popcorn catching game... and he actually was quite good- He even BEAT ME at it! Him and Alexa finally figured out how to manuver the Kiddy Cove (a GIGANTIC playground for the little ones), and they were pro's in no time... shoving other kids out of the way to get to the fun stuff! :) We then geared up for a fast paced go-cart race where Hannah and I proved victorious! Ben, Toby and Emily didn't even stand a chance! HA! After eating our SUPER pizza... (it better be 'cause we waited AN HOUR for it;as well as,sang "HAPPY BIRTHDAY" to about 7 different kids who were having their parties there in the process.. UGH!), we ventured on to a high stakes mini-golf Tournament. Even though Alicia had a hole-in-one and Toby had TWO, I still won with the most points scored! RIGHT?! OKAY- Not the case... They slattered me!...I think they even tied-I can't remember! Golf isn't my thing.. I'm surprised the club made it through the game without a single dent. It was a GREAT visit.... THANKS SO MUCH FOR COMING! You're welcome back anytime FOR A RE-MATCH!

Toby, Alicia, Emily, Hannah and Alexa came to visit!!

Easter RECAP!

Sorry- I've been a little slack in updating my blog! Our Easter was WONDERFUL! The Saturday before, we had some friends over for a mini Easter Egg hunt in our backyard. Just Mason and his little friend Sydney--(who both happen to have the exact same b-day!!) Sydney's Mom, Megan swears that they are destyned to get married one day! They see each other and their eyes just light right up and they give each other a little hug... oh!-And I'm happy to announce that they had their 1st KISS too! It was soo adorable- I walked in the other room to find Sydney leaning in ever-so-sweetly with her eye's shut and her lips puckered...and Mason was leaning in as well...mouth WIDE open and his TONGUE hanging out like a dog!!! He's a BOY in every sense of the word! :) I couldn't help but laugh!

Anyway-- Back to Easter... They both figured out right away how to get to the candy inside the eggs so- needless to say, they were both more interested in eating all the candy in one egg before finding the next one. Which made for a LONG hunt! But it was soo much fun! I'm so enjoying that Mason is able to participate in these traditions. It really makes the Holiday GREAT!

Sunday morning we awoke to find that the Easter Bunny had left us all our traditional new "Easter Outfits" and Baskets! Mason went right for the eggs in his basket and more importantly- for the yummies inside! But then we discovered another Easter tradition... plastic GRASS! He was facinated with it... how it felt and the mess that it made! It was almost too much for him to handle!

Church was AWESOME! We really felt the spirit and were able to focus on the Ressurrection and the real meaning of Easter. I realized WHY Easter is my favorite holiday... It's not just the time of year and all the flowers blooming...or the warmer weather... It's when the Atonement was finallized! Christ rose from the Dead and completed his sacred mission to help us return to our Heavenly Father! What great LOVE.. And for that I REJOICE with all my heart!!! Jesus Christ is my SAVIOR- the only way back Home! ....It was a great Easter!

Easter Time!!

Yup! Right on the Money!
