". . . 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

OuR eAsTeR nOvEl:)

Well, first thing in the morning we went and found our Easter baskets hidden outside. Hunter spotted his right when we walked down the stairs;)

He was so excited but didn't know what to do! He was telling me what he saw:) I had to tell him it was okay to go get it.

Then he was off! He bolted down the driveway for it. . .

He got it!

Then he went with daddy to find the other part of his basket . . .

This was a little too big to put in his basket:)

Hunter helped daddy get his, which mommy could barely get up there!

After we had our Easter basket hunt, we went up to Tyler's Grandma & Grandpa Rogers house. They live right close to by. We had breakfast there. Hunter helped Grandpa cook the pancakes:)

Ty did a fabulous job on the bacon & eggs:) thanks sweetie!

After that the great-grandchildren went on their egg hunt! {meaning Hunter & Abby}


This was Abby's first . . . she wasn't quite sure about it:) But she loved that basket!

Uncle Austin helped out!

Cutest little dude!

Hunter finished finding his and Abby still wasn't done. He kept trying to get hers, so the boys re-hid his eggs while Hunter closed his eyes! :) He cracks me up!



The second time around . . .

Abby still working on her first:)

Hunter finished and decided to relax a bit;)

Too impatient, he dug in!

Here's daddy teaching Hunter to play ball!

He is so funny! He has kind of a golfer/baseball swing:)

Grandma Polly gave us all giant chocolate bunnies! Thanks Grandma:) I'm just glad it didn't get everywhere {luckily}

Abby didn't get the chocolate, but she loved those yogurt bites! Next year she'll know better:)

We then had to go, so we could make it back to Grandma & Grandpa's in time for the next session of conference and nap times:) Too Cute!! Abby just loves Hunter!

After conference and naps, Hunter got his basket from Grandma & Grandpa! Look at that cutest smile! He's so excited!

And why? Because of bubbles!!

He LOVES bubbles! And got lots too!

Thanks Grandma & Grandpa!

Then we headed down to Nana & Papa's for a delicious dinner {I have to add that I finally made Au Gratin potatoes, and they rocked! :) Thanks to Jennie's recipe! But I was so excited and I will be making them again very soon!}

We had the grandkids hunt in the backyard. Nana & Papa did such an awesome job with it!

Daddy helped Hunter while I documented:) Bos & Bay covered every nook and cranny!

Here was the funniest part though! Baylee could NOT find this egg - it's the pink one right in front of her face in the fence post. She seriously searched for probably 5 minutes while Papa & I tried desperately to guide her through tears of laughter! It was hysterical!

There's little miss Caroline finding herself some eggs as well!
And Brax, the 1st one done showing us his return! :)

All the kids looked so cute in their Easter outfits!

Then, they had to finish off with some swinging!


Here's the little kidlets! {We were missing Brookie} And next year we'll have 2 more in the mix! Nana & Papa won't have room on their laps:)


Here's Jenn, Brax, Joe & Caroline {again minus Brookie}

Brax & Caroline in their matching outfits! :)
We are missing Jennie & Tone's pic, cause I still haven't gotten pics from her... I'll add it later:)
And, here's are little fam! :)

{don't you love Ty trying to hide the ball he was playing catch with Brax behind his back:) Nice sweetie. you also can't really see the bump I now have, but I will get a good pic of it up soon}

What cute pictures. Easter was great fun. Hopefully when we are married as long as your mom and dad we will have that many grandkids. And hopefully not all from you and Ty.

Looks like you had a great Easter, how fun that you hide each others easter baskets out side!
