". . . Day by day, minute by minute, second by second we went from where we were to where we are now. Time never stands still; it must steadily march on, and with the marching comes the changes. . . The tiny fingerprints that show up on almost every newly cleanded surface, the toys scattered about the house, the piles and piles of laundry to be tackled will disappear all too soon and that you will - to your surprise - miss them profoundly. . . Let us relish life as we live it, find joy in the journey. . . For one day each of us will run out of tomorrows." -Pres. Thomas S. Monson

Easter Time!

I love Easter! It's the beginning of a new, warm season, and such a great time to be outside spending time with family! We began by having an Easter Egg Hunt at my mom & dad's on Friday. . . Then on Sunday, we went to Ty's mom & dad's after church. Church was wonderful! Hunter began Nursery today!! I'm so excited! He did really well for his first time too, so we hope that's a good sign:)Isn't Hunter so darn cute in his little Easter outfit?!? :)We had all of Suzanne's family over and BBQ'd. It was a perfect day for it!Alicia's getting about ready to pop! Abby's on her way, and we are so excited:)We also played Badmitton {however you spell it!} Ty's pulling a sweet move!! {Actually he was reinacting/makin fun of a move a just did, but he looks hilarious! I had to put it in}And in this one if you really look at the picture, you can see that I missed and Derek's trying so hard to save it:) I'm so good let me tell ya!We then had another Easter Egg Hunt just for Hunter! He's the only grandchild at the moment, so it's all his:) Next year he can help Abigail though! Grandma and I helped him around, but he didn't need much - he was a pro after Nana and Papa's! I love the look of determination in some of the pics! He's my boy!Grandma then helped him open his Easter basket from them - he loved all of it!He really likes bubbles now, and he can even say it! He likes to try and pop them all:)He's also figuring out what side walk chalk is, and it's lots of fun! I love how he has to hold every one of them at the same time though! Cracks me up!And what's going to Grandma & Grandpa's without taking Hunter on a ride? It's his favorite thing!We then went over to Nana & Papa's to eat dinner and play with the cousins! Here's our cute little fam. . .Can you tell how thrilled Anthon was to take a picture?! Bay and Bos looked so cute! Hunter and them all matched of course:) And here are the grandkids! {we were missing Brookie, but everyone else was there}And here's the boys! It was a little bright with the sun right in their eyes:)

Hunter loves Uncle Joe-Joe to throw him in the air cause he's so tall he soars!
It was so great to have Joe there! The boys just love him!
And here's sweet baby Caroline! She's also in her daddy's arms.

And that was our day! It was so sweet and fun to be with all of our family that day!

Badminton j/k. Canadians pronounce it the way it's spelled. It looks like you had so much fun on easter. Isn't it great to have a loving extended family that enjoys getting together and spending time with each other. Families are great!
