Easter Egg hunt

Sleeping Beauty

The weekend. By: Emmalee

(written Easter weekend in her journal at school)

This weekend I thought it was wild!

So, on Saturday morning I went to Blake's soccer practice and had to play on a dumb playground. Then at 1:00 I went to a 100 Easter egg hunt. But I didn't get the golden egg. But at 2:00 I went to my grandma's house for a Easter egg hunt. But I mostly got toys. I got a couple eggs, a stuffed animal, a bag with erasers, a golf course, some candy, bubbles, a little back-flip bunny, and that's pretty much all. I got bored on Sunday so I made a boring course. So you start on the table, jump onto the chairs, jump onto the cabinet, then run on the couch over Addi and her barbie dolls, jumped onto the next couch, jumped onto the tredmal, and onto TV to the table. (illustration below)

(It's interesting to see your kids' perspective of things. I loved that she HAD to play on the dumb playground and was so bored on Sunday that she had a boring course. :) She failed to mention a special treat of lunch out with the family at Carl's Jr. where they have a fun playground. And my wonderful Easter dinner that I prepared so willingly for my family. Weird that she could forget THAT but name every single thing that she found in her Easter eggs! (total sarcasm there)  Also love that Addi is a part of the course. So glad that they make her a part of their activities.)



Here's the next weekend:

By: Emmalee

This weekend got my bike fixed. But the brake is still hard to pull. On Sunday I went outside. When dad was looking at a place I call the spider pit. Dad saw some legs of a spider. He wanted to show me and Addi the spider. So he got a stick and moved the spider. But then dad noticed that that spider was not like any other. It was a huge female black widow!! Mom took some pictures of it. Then I so wanted to kill it once we were done.
Then we went into the car. When we were at the church Blake had forgotten his shoes. And so dad had to take him back. As dad was leaving he almost ran over a goose.
At primary we got a bag of some treats because we filled the jar with marbles. On Fri. I went to the library. I got 26 books. Oh, and on Sat. was good. I didn't have to go on the dumb playground while Blake was playing soccer.

Emmalee's performance

Emmalee performed at the Golden Girls spring dance performance. The Girls did a dance clinic for younger girls. Em really enjoyed it but was SUPER nervous to perform. She did great! This is for you grandma!!

Family Pictures

 

I really wanted a picture of the temple with our family in it. These are both close ups of just the fam. These were done by my FAVORITE photography and dearest friend: Emily Hoge. SHE is the best!

These are some of my favorites that she did for me a couple years back. LOVE THEM!

 

Thanks EM for being a great friend, photographer, running buddy, biking pal, and my go-to-gal. Sure gonna miss you!

a creepy surprise

Found a creepy surprise hiding outside our house on our way out to church. I grabbed my camera and had a fun time taking pictures. (until I could no longer see the image in my camera! JEREK! DO NOT DARE PUT THAT THING CLOSE TO ME!!) He wanted to make sure I zoomed in real close. Rachel, you will appreciate this the most. (and no we did not keep it to fight in the arena although that would have been fun)
