Easter Weekend

We had such a great Easter!


The Easter bunny came on Saturday, because he was so busy on Easter Sunday.

The Easter Bunny brought Stockton a tricycle! Too bad he can't reach the peddles even though the seat is adjustable! Poor kid got his mom's legs.

Searching for Easter eggs. He had a hard time gathering Easter eggs. He just wanted to take his time and open each one and eat the treat inside before moving on to the next one. I don't blame him!

Saturday afternoon we went out to Grantsville for the Orgill family party. And look who showed up!!!! The EASTER BUNNY! Stockton was so excited. (By the way, it's really my brother Brad in the costume.)

Showing Grandpa Orgill the yummy candy inside the Easter egg.

Finding eggs with Brock.

Oh, here's a good one!

That night we colored eggs at the Haiders,. Stockton and Anellina hadn't seen each other for months and had a blast together.

Easter Sunday started out with church. What handsome men!

Then we headed to the Haiders' for another Easter egg hunt. It was not very warm outside so we did the hunt in the basement.

Anellina was so excited to find the pink egg!!!

Giving all the eggs to Grandma as they found them.

The Easter Bunny left a message on the eggs, you could read it when you lined them up. It gave a clue to where their Easter baskets were hidden.

They found their Easter baskets upstairs in the front room! Then there was another clue in their baskets leading them to another surprise.

They found it in the dryer!

Yay! New spring outfits!

This was Stockton's favorite toy in the Easter basket. It's a little bunny and carrot fan. I told him to keep it away from his eyes... so what does he do? Luckily the fins are a soft foam.

Stockton loved being with Baby Carsten. They are about the same size! Sheesh!

The day ended with Stockton showing Anna his new hele-ca-ca teeter totter that he got for his birthday. Then Anna and her family headed back to Colorado. It was a sad parting for the kids. The next day Stockton said to me, "Want Baby Carsten, Anna, Ama (grandma) over here." He was missing them already.

Such a fun weekend with family! I am so grateful for all my blessings, especially the Atonement of Jesus Christ. I'm grateful that he suffered and died for me, but more importantly that he LIVES for me!

Happy 2nd Birthday Stockton!!!

I can't believe my little Stockton is 2 years old! He has been looking forward to this for along time. He has been talking about turning 2 for weeks! If you asked him how old he was going to be he would say, "TWO!!!" Then you ask him what kind of party he was going to have, he would say, "BIRTHDAY party!!!!..... Buzz & Woody!" Well, the Buzz & Woody party did not disappoint him! Tons of our family showed up and it was so great to have them there to celebrate!

Everywhere you turned you saw Buzz & Woody.

He had a lovely Toy Story cupcake display.

One of his favorite gifts was this Woody hat. He loved it and started putting it on everyone. (I got it at the dollar store! What a bargain!)

He got a "fwee slide!" (He can't just say "slide" he has to add "weeee" in front of it, but for some reason says "wee" with an f.)

The Haiders spoiled him with this "Hele-ca-ca" teeter totter. They know how obsessed he is with helicopters, so this was perfect! He LOVES it!

Blowing out the candle was hilarious! He couldn't quite get it, so mom had to help... just a bit.

He chose a cupcake with Rex on it.

The next morning he was loving playing with all his new toys. Then he asked to watch "Buzz & Woody." As he watched I set up all his presents to take a picture. He set Jessie and Woody up by the TV. The chair he is sitting on is also a Toy Story chair. And yes this is Toy Story 2 that he is watching, it just happens to be a random part with an American Flag in it. And this is the picture that turned out best!

Stockton we are so happy to have you in our family! You make us proud to be your parents. You are so much fun and you make everyone around you happy! We love you!
