Spring Break

Yes, this is LOOOOOONG overdue. But we did have a Spring Break and Easter celebration that hasn't been documented. All of Dave's family came into town and it's the first time we've all been together in about 5 years! We had a ton of fun and cousins got to get reaquainted. The kids are all hilarious and have their own funny things that crack us up.

We celebrated Isaac's baptism and took family pictures and the guys had a movie night, of course. We spent a lot of time playing at the Latham playground (grandma & grandpa's backyard) and we went to a few movies and mini golfing. Emma definitely had a little crush on Isaac :) She kept asking if he was going to be there so she could chase him. And he was so great to play along with her.

We had a killer egg hunt for Easter. We had filled eggs, then little trinkets all hung around the yard. We had names on some of them and all the kids were so helpful with the little tiny ones.

After the hunt we headed to our house for Easter dinner. Grandma Kris did the lesson with the eggs filled with something to represent each part of the Easter story. Kade was so sweet at one part. There was something in one egg that represented Christ dying on the cross and Kade (the normally mischevious, into everything, crazy, funny Kade) cries out, "But no Grandma, He LIVES! Jesus LIVES!!" He was so fervent when he said it and it was a great reminder of how sensitive children are to the truths of the gospel.

Here are the girls in their Easter dresses. It wasn't until I saw these pictures that I realized how much more red Bree's hair is than Emma's...

It was a little chilly and rainy one day, so we ran to walmart and picked up a bunch of wrist rockets and nerf balls and had a war in the cultural hall of the church. So. much. fun. We were laughing so hard. It was a great workout! Emma didn't appreciate that I nailed her in the head. It was a complete accident! You never know what direction those nerf balls are going to go in! We also played some dodgeball with the younger kids, which they loved :)

MAN DOWN!!

And we ended the week at the park to say goodbye. I know this sounds sappy, but we love our family so much. Each person brings something unique to our family to make it complete. We miss them all so much and can't wait to see them again.

this was just funny-we were all standing around waiting to give each other hugs and we see these two off in the distance...
