Easter Sunday

We spent Easter down in Salt Lake this year- it coincided with my dad's birthday and my brother and his wife were coming down from Portland for the weekend too- so we had a lot of fun!!

Easter Morning- Kate found some stylin' shades in her bag.

The boys were really excited to head out into the backyard to hunt for eggs- they couldn't even pause for coats- though it wasn't warm by any means.

Ryan didn't know where to start- he ran to the middle of the lawn and picked up one egg. Then he ran around in circles. He'd run toward an egg- and then another direction toward another one- and then he'd make a run for his bag, as though he couldn't decide which he should have done first. It was so funny!

Ty was all over the Easter egg hunt- though he was very methodical about his hunting. He ran around the yard looking only for purple ones. Once he found all that he could, he moved onto green, and then yellow... Such a goofy kid!

Since it was cold and the grass was wet- Kate had to watch from the deck with dad. But she was so excited when one of the boys would remember her and bring her an egg. She sat and shook them for all she was worth!

Here's trouble (times 3) just before church, all in their Easter finery... I love that not one of them is looking toward the camera. I took 5 pictures and this was the best one...

Kate looked like a giant stick of cotton candy in her dress- but it was stinkin' cute on her! She hated the feel of the tulle- so she wouldn't put her arms down.

I really, really tried to get a picture of Ryan with his eyes open... but this is what we ended up with. I just love the little guy though- he is such a sweetheart!
And here's my Ty- I can't believe how big he's gotten!!! He has two more loose teeth now too! I wish there was something we could give them to make them stay the age and size that they are now... Just to keep them little for a while longer.
Here's Kate- just a laughing at grandpa! She loves him so much!
