Finishing up April

And now...onto the random pics from my phone from this month.  I think this first one was sent to me by Cordelle when he took the kids shopping.  Haha!  Looks like Collin is through!

Happy Morning face.  Cordelle and the kids first thing in the morn.

2015 focus on Food Storage is coming along......:)

My little sunshine.  I am so in love with this little boy.  He can do no wrong and when he does get grumpy or 2ish, I can't help just hug and love him out of it.  We are buddies.

SCOTT IS HOME!

 Everyone was so excited for my youngest brother Scott to be home from his mission from New York, New York.  He is just like the happy glue that keeps our family together.  We missed him so much!  We were so blessed to be able to see him come home and spend the afternoon with him.  Its so refreshing to be around a missionary you know has served a valiant honest mission! We didn't get to spend long with him, but he is coming down in just a few days to see Neal graduate at SUU.

 He's so cute, the neighborhood kids were gathered outside and excited to see him too, so he got out of the car as he drove past to say hi to them.

General Conference / Easter Sunday

 Because this was our first Easter Sunday home (like ever), we promised the kids a massive easter egg hunt in the back yard.  That's what people do right?  Well turns out they were way stoked for it and it was a great success.  The rest of the day was left to listening to conference which the kids did fantastic with and we all listened and had some great sessions!  I love conference weekend!

 Jaq's notes.  She is so great!  Super smart for her little kindergarten brain!

 Seth opted to build this out of his KNEX pieces. 

 Collin colored and ran around crazy but at least he was entertained the whole time.

 And lastly Jaq convinced Cordelle to let her play hair dresser with his hair while he took notes.  Haha!

Until next conference....

EASTER CAMPING PHOTO

 This year was COLD, pretty much the whole time but specifically in the mornings.  That sun took forever to get to us.  But once it did it was like pushing a thawing button. 

 Waiting for the grown ups to get on with this basket hunting business!

 Miss Dayla's first Easter basket.

 Jaquelle!

 Collin (above) and Seth (below)  Cold but fun!

 Lunch on a drive.  Don't let the sunshine fool you, it was still really cold. 

 This here, is my favorite part of camping with my family.  Just sitting around laughing and talking.

This year was a little different because we left Friday night (pretty much when most everyone was showing up).  It was weird packing up while everyone else was just getting there.  But we talked about it and  this weekend was also General Conference and we love to watch General Conference from our home where we can focus, take notes and really WATCH.  It was worth the sacrifice to leave. But we did miss being with family during the main part of Easter.
