The kids woke up bright and early to find their Easter baskets full of goodies and toys!



The Easter bunny had also hid lots of candy filled eggs around the house for them to find.

After church we headed over to grandma and papa Cameron's house for a yummy feast and an egg hunt prepared by Brevin and Tyler. This is a tradition in the making...second year in a row that these sweet boys have done this for the smaller cousins. Tyler even gave away one of his dollars from grandma to the cousin that found the most eggs!

I love the meetings at church on Easter Sunday, 3 hours where all that is spoken of is our Saviors resurection. Even in Primary, the Spirit is so strong as we speak of Him. I am especially grateful for these 3 (soon to be 4) amazing little spirits...

Happy Easter!

Big Brother Jack

Jack is so excited for his little brother to join our family. He is constantly talking to my belly (asking the baby if he wants to be named Boogart or Jett), tickling me in hopes of making Jett laugh, and asking daily when Jett is coming out of my belly. One day I came home from a quick errand and he asked if I went to get Jett out. Another time he came into our room and handed me his little blue blanket (one that Bree gave me when I was pregnant with him and he has used since the day he was born) and told me he wants to give it to baby Jett.

The following are pictures he has drawn, both highlighting his soon-to-be baby brother...

From left to right...Jack, Rian, dad, Dakota, mom. I reminded him that he forgot someone so he quickly drew baby Jett in the only space he could find on the page. He laughed hysterically at his artwork because Jett was standing on daddy's head and his foot was in his eye!

This picture is a little harder to see, but from what he tells us it is baby Jett in a spaceship! He was so proud of this one that he enlisted Rian's help to tape it up above his bed.

Now I just have to hope that the enthusiastic welcoming continues once he realizes babies cry a whole lot and require most of mom's attention!

Skillz...

She later scored a goal, which doesn't happen too often for defenders, but of course I didn't have my camera on her at the time...ugh!

Pre-teen?

Dakota turns 11!

We started the day off with her favorite breakfast...French Toast.

(Can you pick out my non-morning child?)

I later picked Dakota up from school for lunch...Subway, her absolute favorite.

After school...presents, cake and ice cream.

Happy Birthday, sweet girl!

(I think for my next birthday, I will wish that my kids would STOP growing up so fast!)
