Easter

We were excited to be home for Easter!  When Jen and her family came over to my parent's house before church on Sunday morning, I had to laugh!  Jen and I regularly end up some place together wearing the same colors and no, it's not ever planned.  We didn't on Easter, but nice to see that Jessica kept up the accidental tradition for me!

Here we are before church- minus my dad, who was already there because he was speaking.

In the bus on the way to church

Drew has such an amazing voice!  He sang a song during sacrament and I was totally in awe of how flawless his sweet voice is.  Then I looked over and saw the boys making faces at him and trying to throw him off!!  It made me laugh.  I'm so glad it didn't work!

Cute Wes chillin on the couch after church.  I love that kid!

My grandparents came down after church to spend the rest of Easter with us.  My Grandpa is always so cute with the kids and they always love to see him.

We got things ready for dinner and  took lots of pictures before we had an Easter Egg Hunt.

It was raining on and off, so we had the hunt inside.  We sent all the kids out on the porch while we finished up hiding candy and eggs.

Drew was so cute with Paige!  Here he is showing her where to find an Easter egg.

Home Again, Home Again

Still doing March catch-up!  Good thing I have pictures to remind me what we did!

As soon as the kids were out for Spring Break, we jumped in the bus and headed to California!

 It seems like we are getting better and making the drive!  We put a card table in near the front seats.  It was perfect for eating and doing crafts to keep the kids busy.

 We were so happy to finally be there!  Grandma had some presents for all of the kids with March birthdays!

Ashlyn and Paige danced while Wes played the piano.

 We sat around and talked and things finally felt normal. 

 The kids couldn't wait to see their friends.  Lauren spent as much time with Chloe as she could!

 It felt like old times for Austin, hanging out with his cousins and Jared.

Ashlyn LOVED spending a day with Katie! 

Jessica tried to split her time between her two best friends, Kylie and Megan.

We spent as much time with our friends as we could.  We went to lunch with Nick and Kristie.

We spent an evening at the cabin with the McCauley's.  Ahhh. Some of my favorite memories from Clovis are from weekends with the McCauley's at their cabin. 

Jason and Jeff helped keep things lively!

 The kids were thrilled to hang out in the cabin with each other and have things just feel "normal".

 
  

 

Yeah, it felt good to be "home".  Even doing the normal stuff, like making a Target run with my sister and my mom, was so nice.    

 There's no place like home.
