Easter Excitement

My boys had such a fun Easter.

Tuesday Grandpa Clive and Kris came over to celebrate Easter with the kids. They brought flips flops for Dagen and Logen and a new outfit for Graden. My kids love it when they stop by our house to see them.

Saturday morning we went to the Spanish Fork ballpark for the annual Easter egg hunt. They get so excited each year to do this. We got them all lined up and ready to go. The siren rang out and off they went. Dagen kept running, we wondered if he would have ever stopped. He finally started picking them up. He got six eggs and was so excited about that. Logen went with my mom over to his age group. He knew exactly what to do. He heard everyone telling them to run and he was going to get some eggs whether anyone liked it or not.He got seven eggs but he shared them with Elexa and Aleia, they didn't get as many. Unfortunalely, nobody won any big prizes, but they sure did have a great time.

Then it was off to Kim's house for the Annual Bleggi Easter Party. Everyone buys items (treats, toys, money, etc.) for each of the kids. This year there was 19 kids. And Kim and her family put the items in the woods behind her house. All of the kids get a list of the items that they need to find, and off they go. They have so much fun. All the kids get so much fun stuff, that the kids won't even eat their lunch they would rather play. But then again that is everyday at my house anymore.

We had one more stop to make for Saturday's Easter celebration. We went to my mom's house. There they had an easter egg hunt. She put each kids eggs in seperate rooms and they had to search in there. Then we had some lunch just to make the kids get really ancy for the treasure hunt. It works everytime, and they actually eat when we tell them to, just because they want to go on the treasure hunt. So then they started the hunt, we have so much fun doing this every year. I actually think the adults like it more than the kids. The adults beat the kids to the next clue everytime. They got to the end and found their prize. They got some fun stuff from Grandma Deb and Mark. So when we left there, Dagen said to me "Mom, when do we get to go back to Grandma's for another easter egg hunt?" I think he wanted to do that everyday. My kids love going to Grandma's house.

Sunday morning the kids woke up bright and early to see if the Easter Bunny found our house. Well I think he did. We ask the Easter bunny each year to hide the eggs and the easter baskets. So they have to search high and low for everything. this year he hid Dagen's easter basket in the oven, and Logen's was behind the couch under Graden's walker. But he made it quite easy for Graden to find his, it was right there with all of his other toys. He hid all the eggs down in the playroom they had no problem finding those. I think they are pros by now.

So after we got ourselves all ready for the day we went over the Grandpa and Grandma Bringhursts house. The kids did another treasure hunt. And got more toys. They had so much fun playing with their cousins and their new toys. They love going to see Grandpa Glenda and Grandma Glenda. (That was not a typo, Dagen calls Larry Grandpa Glenda!!)

When we got home we all had naps and then went outside to enjoy the beautiful Spring Day. I have a video of Graden when he was on the grass. He hates the grass, but he finally started to crawl around on it. It was so much fun.

I hope everyone had a Happy Easter too!!!

Dagen Turns 5!!!

Well since we last posted Dagen had a B-day. He decided to have a Golf Birthday Party, don't ask me why, I don't think he has ever been golfing before. But he insisted. So I made him a golf cake, which did not work out as planned. The golf ball didn't work and was falling all over the place. But the golf course looked pretty good. He had a great time at his party, he got lots of great gifts and enjoyed spending the time with his grandparents, aunts, uncles and cousins.

The day of his party was a bit hectic by the time I got the cake baked and cleaned the house we never had time to do anything fun for his birthday. So that weekend we took the kids miniature golfing. Wow!!! They had so much fun, they ran around each of the holes, pounding the ball as hard as they could. Then we went to the arcade. I think they had more fun playing the games than they did golfing. By the time we walked out of there Chad and I were exausted. But the boys had fun!!! I had my camera to take pictures of all this madness, but it was just that madness, the camera never even got pulled out of my purse. Oh Well!!

I Finally Did It!!!

I finally did it, I created a Blog.

We made it through the first of the year so far and looking forward to the rest of it. Dagen's b-day is coming up and he is really excited to be turning the BIG 5! He is going to The Achiever Preschool and loves every minute of it. He has made a lot of friends and he even has a girlfriend. WHEWWW!!

Logen is just busy being Logen, he is into everything and always is being mischevious. But he sure does have a fun personality. The shirt he is wearing below explains everything.

Graden is now 7 months and is getting every where he needs to be. He stared crawling a few weeks ago and now we can't keep up with him already. I guess that's what happens when you have that many boys! He is eating the tree in the pic below.

As for Chad and I, we do the same things as always. Work and hang out with the kids!!!

Tiffany and I took the kids to see Playhouse Disney yesterday and the kids loved it!!! It wasn't too bad for me either I thought the kids did pretty good.

Anyway, that is all for now. See you all soon!!
