What Is A Quiggle?

Baby Animal Days. This was our first time. We loved it!



We had an Easter Egg hunt at Gma's with cousins.



My mom and aunt put on the annual "Cash Egg Hunt" for the adults. My cousin and her family were with us,and my bro. We scored! My mom has done this since I got married. It is her way of bribing us over for Easter. It works.


It was also BYU Lacrosse Alumni weekend. It was fun to go watch and see friends we haven't seen in a while.
It was a fun week. It ended with the most important day, Easter. It's always fun to try and explain things to the kids. Belle has been really interested in Resurrection since my Grandpa and Grandma died. I love Easter. I am grateful for such an important special day!

I would like to go ahead and report that we did not have to take anyone out of Sacrament even once today! It's true. But let me go ahead and tell you a little story about church on Easter Sunday.

We stayed with my family over the weekend. The kids had been there since Thursday. So they had been spoiled, stayed up late every night, naps were not so good, and they partied like rock stars. So come Sunday they were so tired. Church didn't start until 1:00, yikes! We got there and things began to unravel right away. Aaron took the boys to walk around until it started because they were already getting restless. When it started the boys were up and down and all over the place. They were both crying and loud. The Sacrament was almost done being passed when disaster struck. Reeve was screaming to hold a snack bag, and Barnes fell and hit his head on the Hymn Book case. So they were both screaming. Aaron took one of them and I took the other. We walked right out and straight to the car. We drove right to my parents house and laid them both down. They were out faster than the speed of light. Happy Easter! I love that this happened in the ward I grew up in. You know us, leaving good impressions everywhere we go. We left Belle there with my parents. The only noise she made was when Papa got her laughing and goofing off. If any of you know my dad, he has always been quite the entertainment during church.
Anyhoo, I think this was Carma for featuring my nephew on the last Circus Sunday. And today's experience was a blessing!

Need I say more?

Happy Birthday to the best dad and husband ever! May I go ahead and quote Dr. Laura? Here it goes....Aaron would swim through shark infested waters to bring me a lemonaid! I know he would.
Happy Birthday Aaron! Lot's of love from your older woman.

Barnes took off walking about a week ago. He now uses it as his favorite mode of transportation. It is so cute to watch him!

These were from the last big storm about a week ago. I wanted to cry when it snowed again today. Don't get me wrong, I love snow in the winter. But when your teased like the following pictures..............


This was TWO weeks ago. We were teased with warm weather for a day. The kids "helped" Aaron wash the car.


Barnes just wanted in the bucket of water. He was soaked, then crawled through the flower bed. He loved the dirt!


We even had a water slide going. Oh, those were the days. The warm days have come and gone.

Well here is a good story for those of you who didn't see the action on Sunday. Aaron's sister Stacy and her cute boys Gavin and Damon were staying with us last week. They provided this weeks Circus Sunday story. My sister-in-law has a fantastic sense of humor and has agreed to give me exclusive rights to the story.
We were sitting three rows from the front during Sacrament Meeting. We were on one of the long benches. Gavin asked his mom a few times if they could go home. She would tell him no. Then he told her if they don't go home he is going to throw up for 20 days. So she told him to go ask Grandpa to take you on a walk. So he walked down to the other end of the bench and asked Grandpa to go on a walk or he was going to throw up. Well guess what? He started throwing up right then and there. Grandpa was the recipient of most of the action. Grandpa and Grandma quickly wrapped him in a coat and took him out. Aaron was trying to clean the bench and floor with wipes. Then Stacy said to me "oh no, some man I don't even know is cleaning my son's throw up." I looked down the row and here comes our friend Tony to the rescue with a bunch of paper towels. Luckily the meeting was almost over so we held off until then. Poor Gavin came home and stayed in bed until the next day. We came home and had to laugh about the whole thing. I wonder what next Sunday will bring?
