The Easter Bunny Came!!

We hope you all had a wonderful Easter, I know we did. It's funny being so close to both sides of the family, holiday's can be a bit overwhelming. Meaning: 3 Easter egg hunts, 3 dinners, 3,3,3, of everything. But we wouldn't change it for anything we love our families and love spending time with them. Happy Easter!

Bella's basket was in the pantry:)


Addi's basket was in the dryer;)

Hopkin Easter Egg Hunt

Saturday we had another Easter Egg hunt and dinner with Mom and all my sisters and brother's families. We grilled hamburgers and hot dogs and then had 119 eggs for all the children to find. Grandma Sandy always hides money eggs too which my girls looove!!

So this year for Easter Cochran's invited us to their home at Cherapple for a Easter egg hunt and breakfast with their coldesac friends and neighbors. It was so cold that morning but we put coats, gloves, and hats on everybody and went for the fun!! Alison and her family were there, Jacqueline and Brandon, and Grandma and Grandpa. It was fun being with family and cousins hunting for eggs in the freezing cold:)

Family Night with Aunt Farah & Uncle Bryan:)

So for family night Farah & Bryan invited our family over to dye Easter eggs with them at their house. The girls were so excited, they love their Aunt & Uncle:) Surprisingly the Easter Bunny came to their house and had hid some eggs, so the girls got to hunt for some eggs and dye eggs. We had sparkle eggs, sticker eggs, soft fuzzy eggs, and very bright colored eggs! We had a great time, thank you Aunt Farah and Uncle Bryan for such a fun FHE!! We love you

Spring Break in St. George!!

So our friends have a condo in St. George and they let us stay in it for the weekend. There are two swimming pools, a park, & a game room. Usually we swim and play using the condos facilities the whole time, but this weekend in St. George was a cold and rainy weekend so we needed to get creative. We found some fun things to do still and had a great time away with each other:)

Day 1 Movie & Shopping:)

So today was really wet and cold so we asked the girls if we took them to see a movie what movie would they want to see? Well the votes were unanimous so we went and saw Diary of a Whimpy Kid 2. Addi & Kylie have been reading the books so it was fun to see the movie:)


Then we went over to the outlets to get the girls a summer outfit and dress. They found some really cute things and then we came back to our condo and they gave Dad & Mom a fashion Show, even Bella participated, it was cute:) Thanks Daddy for our clothes!

Day 2: Swimming:)

So it's been cold and rainy since we got to St. George:( But.. I found an indoor swimming pool here, wahoo!! So we took the girls and swam for hours. It was a lot of fun the girls had a great time. (the pool was just like the Lehi pool)

Day 3 :St GeorgeTemple & Water Park

I think the St. George Temple is so beautiful, it is so white it hurts your eyes to look at it.


This sweet old temple worker was taking pics of our family in front of the temple and he cut off our sweet Laycee:) hehe

St. George Water Park

So today we took the girls to the park and waded in the water and played in the fountains! It was still pretty chilly so we just put our feet in:)

Yea for the Sandbox!!

Oh my little girls LOVE the Sandbox!! Bella is so funny she sits right in the middle, scoops the sand, and throws it:) So yes, there is sand everywhere and it is soo fun to sweep up, but...they love it and I really don't mind the sand that much:) Now my girls get lots and lots of baths to get all of the sand out of every little crack and cranny, haha!!

Laycee ALWAYS Encouraging her..
