EASTER!!!!!

The Thursday before Easter I was supposed to have a house full of 3 year olds! Like 4 of them!! Yikes! I had to call in help so we could make some yummy Easter cookies. Of course I called my mom, Mama Bobbie! Turns out I only had 2 little boys (besides the 3 babies that were napping). Blake and his best buddy Jakoby had a lot of fun and a lot of sugar while we made cookies! I tell ya, boys are so funny when it comes to certain things. Cookies being one of them. All they could think about was cutting, squishing, throwing, biting, and licking the dough. Mom and I had some good giggles while hanging with the boys.

Mom was getting after Blake for eating too much dough :)

While the cookies were baking the boys had to kill some things that were just sneaking around my house.

On to frosting the cookies.

As soon as he put a blob of frosting on his first cookie he decided he better taste test it.....

"Just one more taste!" for the 20th time!!!

On Saturday night we had a glow in the dark Easter egg hunt. I bought some little glow sticks and eggs at the dollar store and stuffed the eggs. We invited a bunch of friends, made a pot of super yummy soup and had a blast. Even though my house is so tiny I love packing it full of friends and family and having a good time. I didn't get any pictures of the actual egg hunt for 2 reasons. I have a hard time adjusting my camera settings to take good pictures in the dark and also the hunt lasted a whole 6-7 minutes!  

Blake was all "peeped up"!

I made this super yummy cake for the party!

The boys (men) were microwaving peeps to watch them get HUGE!!!

Trying to get a picture of this many kids is hard work!

He was so excited after the glow in the dark hunt. I think mostly because it was 9:00 at night and he was allowed to have chocolate!!

Coloring eggs here always turns into John drawing all over the eggs with crayons and Blake getting bored and me just sitting and watching! I am too OCD to color eggs....I get so frustrated that they aren't as perfect as ones you see in magazines! Stupid I know!

Meet John Jr! "Don't take my picture!!!"

Doing his crayon magic.

See the HUGE eggs? Those are our duck eggs from or pretty white ducks. We were curious if they would dye the same as chicken eggs. In conclusion, our farm chicken and duck eggs didn't take dye as well as the store bought white eggs.

I woke up Easter morning at 6:00 remembering that I needed to fill the boys' baskets and that the ties that I made them still needing a couple stitches in them. Every time I do last minute things like that it makes me think of my mom and how much moms do behind the scenes of any occasion. I love all the behind the scenes work and wouldn't trade it for anything in the whole world!!

Trever man and his first Easter basket!

This picture turned out really weird!

Love these two! What am I going to do when they don't fit on my lap at the same time?!?! Gosh darn time, would you please slow down!!!

It just dawned on me now after looking at this picture that Blake was eating candy! Well no wonder he wouldn't sit still one bit during church!!

If Blake would have been looking this picture would have been perfect! Blake was too concerned about Buzz Lightyear. I will do another post about that later!!!

After church we went to John's Uncle Keith and Aunt Laurie's house for some Easter ham and other delish food!! Blake played with some cousins and rode his bike. It was a nice relaxing day. We eventually made our way home and took naps. Then we headed to my parents for some more Easter food and family!

YUMMY JELLO!!!

After Easter lunch I snuggled this sweet little man for a nice long nap!

HE IS RISEN!!!!!!
