spring in idaho

this is what i woke up to this morning. i was a little upset at first because the previous day was such a gorgeous day but then was quite content with the beautiful pictures i took outside in my yard. i'm glad i took them first thing this morning because by afternoon all the snow had melted.

easter morning

the kids were so excited to go down to grandma's house to see what the easter bunny had brought them. once they saw their baskets they torn right into them. they really loved getting their own basketballs. aunt karen also gave them a little goody bag full of yummy easter treats.

easter this year fell on general conference. the kids weren't thrilled about watching. they went outside and played with their new balls while the grownups listed to some of the talks. it was a beautiful easter morning considering the day before was a blizzard!

easter eggs

it has been a tradition to color easter eggs with the boys. they were chomping at the bit when i told them we were going to color eggs. they did pretty good as only one egg got dropped on the floor. bubba immediately decided he needed to eat it because he dropped it. they could have colored eggs for hours but they didn't get to because i only boiled about a dozen eggs. after all the eggs were colored they wanted to eat them all gone!

april fools

boy did we get fooled today. here we think we are supposed to have spring weather since it's the first day of april. but oh no, instead we get about 2 inchs of snow. it's still snowing so we could wake up to even more in the morning.

i was being nice and drove down the road to my in-laws to pick up missy. she will sometimes stay the night at our house but for the most part she likes to stay with the grandparents 99% of the time. last winter they would call me and tell me to come pick up my dog because it was so cold in her dog house. i did it a few times and then decided that if the dog really wants to sleep inside she can walk her butt home.
