Birthday/Easter Weekend

So T.j.'s birthday and Easter were the same weekend this year! Putting two things on the same weekend always makes things a little more crazy around here. But we wanted to have fun anyway!!! T.j. decided that he wanted to camping, and swimming at Green Canyon. Thinking it was warming up me and Tyler both agreed. Although we did have a good time it was REALLY COLD! Our Firewood was still to wet so it didn't burn very well. When we got there the kids played for a little bit while Tyler was cooking dinner, but in the end we all ended huddled up in the bus trying not to freeze.

We had to sing and eat cake in the bus, but none of the kids seemed to mind. I think that T.J. thought it was really cool.

Easter was a bit warmer for us at Home!!! The only down side is we had church at 9am and we stayed up to late the night before. We did get our eggs colored the night before, i was really worried we weren't going to get it done with the way life has been going!!! The kids loved hunting for their baskets that the bunny had hidden. And all the stuff we found in the baskets was great too!!!

I'm not sure Pearson really got it, but he thought it was great to get to have candy for breakfast!!!

What we have been up to lately!!

Actually I am not a hundred percent sure what i have been up to lately. It seems like everything is going to fast and that i am trying to cram to many things into the next couple of months. I mean some days we are fine and laid back but i usually pay for this later because i won't be prepared for whatever is coming next!!

Creedance is on the competing dance team this year. She enjoys it ok but seems to get tired really easily while the other girls just burst with energy. I am not sure if she even will try out again for next year but really want to leave it up to her. Anyway, we have done two comps and have one left. Then they have to more performances still coming up in the next month or so! These are some pictures of her and Pearson while we were in Logan for the competion. We ended up performing friday night instead of saturday which was a little crazy but worked out fine in the end. Tyler and the other boys didn't come since Tyler had windows to put in on Saturday and i can't help the team and watch all of them we left the older boys with him. (It did drive from Logan to Rexburg to get them and then we came back home). I found these pictures and also remembered that we went up to my parents cabin for confrence!! Funny thing is i didn't have any pictures of toph or tj. This is cree and pearson in a cubby hole above the tv room there. My brothers use to call it the farting lounge though i don't think that is what my kids call it!! We had a great time. The kids love spending time with my parents and brothers. And getting to play in the snow up there!!

Let's see what else are we up to. Toph loves scouts and attends once a week. T.j. loves preschool but is on spring break this week, since his teachers daughter had a baby and of course grandma has to visit.( What girl wouldn't want grandma around to help and keep her sane!) I also have been doing other performances with my non competing dance classes. We just did our nursing home performances last night. Oh yeah my friend Jessica has invited me to come and play tennis with them on their team. I haven't played in almost 9 years but am way excited. Now if i could just get pack meeting, performances, and tennis practice to be on seperate nights(unlike last night) Then maybe i might eventually be able to figure this all out!! Oh well I'll try to stay on top of it.

It is a good thing that i have friends and family to remind me that easter is THIS week and that T.j.'s Birthday is Friday and not just some day in the future or i could be in ALOT of trouble!!!
