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!

Lewisville Lake

The boys have been bugging me to take Sykes to the park since I got my Jeep back yesterday. Then I promised Jay that I would take him to the lake today. The boys and I ventured to Lewisville Lake. It cost us $10 to get in. What an expensive outing. Oh well, it was worth it.
As soon as I opened my door Skyes jumped right out and headed straight for the water. Well he got too close to a family and the mother freaked out because "that's a pit bull". Oh please! We found our little spot and let the fun begin.
The boys had fun throwing the tennis ball and letting Sykes bring it back. Sykes definitely got his workout. Soon the boys would throw the ball and go swim with Sykes to get it. Sometimes Sykes would just let the boys get it. And of course Sykes found the fish skeleton on the grassy area and had to roll all over it.
After Sykes was worn out we loaded up in the car. I then realized that we were all covered in sand. So much for having a clean car. Once we got home all of the boys got a bath (including Sykes).
