Easter...

Well, I've been trying to post about Easter for 3 days now... life seems a little crazy but wonderful at the same time right now. :) It seems like Easter came and went so fast this year. Sorry for all of the pictures and long post - I always have a hard time deciding what pictures to post.

These are the eggs that the boys colored.

They had 3 Easter Egg Hunts - Grandma Cummings, the neighbors - Ron & Dayle Searle's, and Grandma Gardner's. Here are some pictures from Grandma Gardner's Easter Egg Hunt (the only one that we had the camera for - oops). The boys love the Easter Egg Hunts. They got many candy filled plastic eggs and then Grandma Gardner always has a real colored egg for them with their name on it, once they find it they bring it to her and they get a special prize - usually it's a squirt gun or something like that. They LOVE it and have so much fun! The day after the hunt my sister had some things for all the grandkids to make and take over and put on my niece, Kiersten's, grave site. It was so neat and the cards and things were so sweet from all of the kids. Kiersten loved Easter and loved to help grandma get things ready for the Easter Egg Hunt. She was and is greatly missed. Thanks Lin, it was really nice and thoughtful of you. On Easter morning, my cousin Ryan, reported on his mission to Halifax Canada in our ward and David and the boys went and said that it was really good and sounded like he had a good mission.

Easter Morning - wow, you think it was Christmas morning again. I was feeding Mason at 1:45 a.m. and here comes Bryson into my room, "I'm ready to see what the Easter Bunny brought. Is it time to get up yet?" Ummm... it's the middle of the night!! I sent him back to bed. And then again at 6:14 a.m. (I am feeding Mason again) here he comes, "OK mom. Is it time?" I made him wait until I was finished feeding Mason and then we got everyone else up around 7 ish. The boys were glad to see that the Easter Bunny did not forget Mason - see the picture below, but Mason slept through the whole thing, oblivious to it all of course. :)

Logan checking out the treats inside his eggs he found that were hidden by the Easter Bunny!

Bryson and his stash of candy from the Easter Bunny.

Logan got a John Deer Gator - his dream... we can't keep him off the thing.

And... a bubble gun. He kept getting mad because he thought everyone was calling it "bubble gum" and he would say that he could "shoot" out bubbles with it.

The boys got new bikes. They were so excited that they had to try them out first thing - they were still in their pj's. They were so excited that their new bikes had "kick stands". It was pretty cute.

And some more fun with bubbles...
