Easter egg dyeing

Earlier in Easter week we went outside real quick to dye our Easter eggs, it was simple and fun.

 Any fellow Wilson orchestra members recognize Maxosn's shirt? Is it ridiculous that I still have that shirt from 5th grade?

After Maxson dyed his first egg, he promptly went and threw/smashed it all over the cement. That was his last egg :)

Our cute neighbor joined us

Conference and Easter weekend.

We were so lucky to have two favorite activity-weekends fall on the same weekend this year: LDS General Conference and Easter! It was wonderful being edified by our prohpets and apostles about ou Lord and Savior Jesus Christ as well as the gift and importance of families. Here's some peek-chas!

THe kids were overall pretty darn good during conference. Babies were asleep probably half the time and pretty happy if we were holding them. And Max slept during both afternoon sessions, score! When he was awake we built towers while trying to listen, let him play on the iPad,, and played with toys.

Our semi-annual picture with the Prophet! The best we could do with 3 kids this year, ha. Oh how I love President Monson.

Easter morning breakfast was green pancakes, we be fancy like that

Every time the choir sang Max thoroughly enjoyed it.

1. We made empty tomb rolls earlier in the week as well as for a big Easter dinner with friends on Sunday night.

2. Facetimed these cute people real quick, I love how happy those little girls get when seeing the babies smile.

More building. 

Baby Easter bunnies! BQ

Max came down stairs Sunday morning to find his Easter basket sitting there.

We did a little Easter egg hunt outside between session which Maxson thoroughly enjoyed, the following days he constantly had me hide the easter eggs throughout the house for him to find. 

Not pictured was A) a big General Conference breakfast with some friends, food was delicious and never ending, so fun to kick off the weekend with friends. And B) Sunday night ended with another big Easter dinner with friends. Glorious food and children galore (with an enclosed backyard for kids to play in, kinda felt like heaven).

Happy Easter and Conference! Until next year!

Happy Easter! 2015

Easter is such a happy holiday! We are reminded that just like spring, our bodies will be renewed to beauty and resurrected once again. How incredibly blessed ALL the children of God are to receive this wonderful, beautiful gift. I know my Savior lives, my friends! God is good, He is so very, very good.

What it takes to get the above picture:

1. Balance babies with various body parts: Casey's chin, Kimber's hip.

2. Hide the insane amount of poop that came up Bryson's back with a burp rag and hope it doesn't get on you, baby's pants unnecessary.

3. Maxson's shoes optional

4. One leg balancing shows you are great multitasking mother

5. Both parents must try to grab one of Maxson's hands as to keep him from running away in case the other parent accidentally lets go during pictures.

We will be learning about and remembering our Savior, Jesus Christ today be watching General Cnference live at 10 am/ 2 pm MST. You can join and watch here too!

Super Max

Sometimes I want to cry because Max won't be two and little for long.

That little face covered in a super hero mask while wearing 4 different super hero capes is going to grow up. The cute way he says all his words. His excitement over the smallest things.

And then again, I want to cry because he is two. And two can be hard.

But for now I'll focus on that first flipping cute picture and squeeze this two year old for as long as I can.

***

This weekend we'll be watching God's Prophets and Apostles teach His words to the earth this weekend! You can watch at 10 am and 2 pm MST on both Saturday and Sunday. I'm so excited to be uplifted, inspired, and grow closer to my Father in Heaven and Jesus Christ! Do watch if you've ever wondered what it's about! You can watch it live anywhere online here

Eating children

I find myself perfectly justified in wanting to eat my babies.

I said yes

This morning I said yes.

I said yes to sprinkles in his oatmeal.

I said yes to playing outside with his new toys at 9 am.

Sometimes saying yes to Maxson is hard. He's 2 and asks for outrageous things often i.e. 5 cookies!? But sometimes those outrageous things aren't really that outrageous, I'm just lazy i.e. I don't want to let you play outside because there's housework to be done/I'd have to bring all the babies outside, I'd have to chase you everywhere.

I'm going to work harder on saying yes to Max and saying yes more often. He's only little once. Will sprinkles really ruin his breakfast? Nope. Sprinkles it is. Sprinkles it is…
