Easter!!

What a crazy Easter this year! I was so morning sick last year that I didn't get to pull off a very fun Easter (I thought) and I promised myself I would do better this year. I think I didn't do too bad of a job either. Friday night with the help of our friend Theo we bought a tramp and set it up after the boys went to bed. Bryan had been dying to get them a tramp for awhile now and I finally agreed. We were up until 11:30 putting that dang thing together and it was cold! The net around it has to be tied to each spring around the tramp so you can guess how fun that is to do. I just bet whoever designed that is home laughing at all the poor saps who are out in the cold trying to tie the net on the tramp. So the next morning I was talking to our cousin Reegen who was staying at our house and Blake comes up to me and says "mom theres a tramp in our back yard." so matter of fact. I was like "is there? You better show me!"They kept looking at the neighbors to make sure it wasn't their tramp in our yard. How I didn't get one picture of them on it I'm not sure but I don't have one. I did get a video though so it's not a total loss. They ran out in the cold to start jumping on it. They have been out there a lot the last couple of days. Bryan and I even joined them the first day to show them some games when we were little. One of the great things about having kids is that we can be kids again. It was actually really fun to jump on the tramp with my boys and Bryan.

Later that morning we went to our friends house for a egg hunt only to have to leave before the hunt because we had to be to the Palmers before it started. That was really hard on my boys. So we hurry over to the in laws only to wait 45 minutes for my sister in law to come. Should have know. But all was forgotten as soon as they told the kids to go for the Palmer egg hunt!

We have NEVER had so much candy! It was crazy! My boys went crazy. They had a ball. They both got huge baskets full of candy. And of course Stockton needed a few pieces of candy which I ate for him. What a nice mom I am. It ended up being a nice enough day that we spent a lot of time outside. Enough that poor Stockton's face got a little sunburned poor baby. We had a BBQ and spent some quality time with the family.

The next morning the Easter bunny hid clues for the boys to go find around the house.

They loved it and loved their baskets. They got sunglasses for our trip to Cancun and a few little toys. Blake and Stockton woke up with a cough so we kept them home from church only to find later they weren't that sick and should have gone. I always hate it when people bring their sick kid to church so I'm careful with my boys. Too careful I guess! So I never got a picture of them all dressed up. Guess there is always the wedding!

So Ty got to wear his suit for my brothers wedding in a few weeks.

The best part to me was to hear my little Tyson at church repeat so much of the Easter story. He knows a lot of it and I was proud to hear that he listed to me while I was teaching him.

All in all we had a wonderful Easter. It's weekends like this that makes me so grateful to be my boys mom.
