Easter 2009

Well, I can tell ya right now we don't have a cute family picture of Easter Sunday. So here are some cute pictures of the kids. And I realized I didn't really take any pictures of Hudson because he was always sleeping or being held...so there are a couple from Sunday evening just chillin' on the couch.

On Saturday, my mom and Aunt Karolyn threw an Easter Party for the kids like they do every year. It was such a nice, pretty day. It was fun watching Preston have his first Easter Egg Hunt. He was so good at finding eggs and he had to shake every egg to make sure something was in it. Then the kids got to color some eggs and play games and eat lots of goodies. Preston had to have his shirt off to color eggs because I was afraid he would get it all over himself. Gentri and I helped him do the first egg, and then gave up. So, my Aunt Coleen helped him color some more(thanks aunt Coleen, he loved it). She would lift the egg out of the cup and ask Preston if it was done and without saying anything he would push it right back down in the dye. Preston also tasted the dye. YUCK!! It was a fun day and I'm so thankful that my wonderful mom and aunt take the time to plan these fun holiday parties for the kids!! Love ya mommy and Aunt Karolyn!! Then after that we headed up to Ryan's parent's house for their Easter party and dinner. The weather had been great in Salt Lake, but when we got to Alpine it was raining. So, the kids had to have their Easter Egg Hunt in the rain, but it was still fun. Preston did good searching for his eggs and was just excited to open them up and eat some candy. Gentri and Harlee were looking for their eggs a little bit longer because their cousins hid them really hard. But they had fun doing it! We ate some yummy dinner and then came home and just rested. It was a great day to just spend time with the family!

On Sunday we were pretty busy. Ryan and I still felt it was a little too soon to take Hudson to church, so just Ryan and the girls went. Preston stayed home to nap because we knew he wouldn't get another chance. Before church the kids found their Easter baskets that the Easter Bunny had hidden for them. Needless to say, they got plenty of candy. Gentri got the Twilight Soundtrack and Harlee got the Hannah Montana Movie Soundtrack and little Preston got a Handy Manny coloring book and big fat crayons. Preston was very excited about his Peeps and didn't really want anything else! We also had pancakes for breakfast and Gentri made them and we tried to dye them pink, ha ha....didn't work out so well, you can't really tell in the picture that they are pink, but they still tasted good. After church we went to a surprise 50th birthday party for one of our family friends. Preston got to hunt for more eggs, and boy did he find a ton(with GiGi(Gentri in Preston talk) and Harlee's help). It was fun to see our friends and visit.
Then we went up to my parents for Easter dinner. We ate ham and lots of other goodies and just visited. It was another nice relaxing day with the family!




It's the girl's Spring Break this week so on Monday we went to go see the Hannah Montana movie. We loved it! I thought it was really cute. I just love Hannah Montana/Miley Cyrus and of course good 'ol Billy Ray! I hope she stays sweet and doesn't go all crazy/skanky on us!

Had to put this picture for old times sake! ACHY BREAKY HEART baby!! I'm pretty sure I had this poster or one like it on my closet door when I was younger!!
