Easter

The Easter Bunny made his way to our house Saturday morning and the kids where so tickled that he hid their baskets in our room. They just couldn't believe that he came in our room and we didn't even see him. They got zoo tickets in their baskets and when Dean told them what it was and that we could go right then Josie said, "No dad we can't go to the zoo its too far away", because that is what we told her every time she asked to go to for the last 18 months. But we did get in the car right then and headed to the zoo. It was perfect weather and not too crowded. I asked a guy to take a picture of our family and he must not have noticed Josie, or maybe he just thought it was more important to get the elephants forehead?

Saturday night we went to dinner with some of Dean's mission companions while the kids dyed easter eggs at the Hall's house. Sunday morning we went to church with my parents and then headed to papa's for dinner with Dean's family. 
I got Craig and Leann easter baskets and Dean was really proud of his hiding spot.
Janale planned a fun birthday party for Papa and people came all day long.
Laurel did an easter egg hunt for the kids and Dean took me on a ride on TJ's new bike!
We had a picnic at my moms too. It was beautiful weather so we got out the horses.

Quincy lounged on Cameron forever which was awesome for me and exciting for him. 
Jenna gave Trig a tent for his birthday that he and Josie living in everyday since and my mom gave Trig a baseball T that he loves and it has saved him a lot of frustration. Laurel gave Trig a cowboy blanket, TJ and Ashton gave him a big ball and whenever comes over he tells people, "TJ gave me this and he drives a big motorcycle". 
We were all exhausted after a fun weekend and Josie and Trig were asleep before we hit Brigham, Quincy held on the longest but she even gave in after a while.
