Happy Easter and Spring Break comes to a pitiful end...

I know I am a little late on posting these...but I wanted to show a little of how our Easter was. I love Easter! It is one of my favorite holidays! This year we were going to have a birthday party/easter egg hunt...but lucky me I got the flu so it had to be cancelled.  LAME!!!  Instead, we went to our wards Easter breakfast with an Easter egg hunt, then we colored eggs with Morgan and Jace.  On Easter Sunday the Easter bunny brought lots of yummy candy, golf clubs, snakes and a popping toy for Logan.  I used the eggs and candy that we already had for the party and made a little egg hunt for the kids when we had dinner at my Grandma's house.  There were over 100 eggs and only 3 kids to find them.  It was a bit ridiculous.  This year Chris had me get my hair done as an Easter treat!  I was super excited!!!  It had been a LONG time since I got it done and it was gross! 

The boys with their Easter treats!

Our super cute Easter outfits...Tracen was totally mad that he had to have his picture taken so this is about as good as it gets.  He also got to have a hair cut for Easter which made him even more upset!

This past week was our spring break...we were busy they entire time.  I deep cleaned our house including redecorating and shuffling out unnecessary clutter.  We had fun at the park, played together and just had an all around good time.  This month I hosted bunco and did an 80's theme.  It was so much fun...all the ladies dressed in their 80's garb...I would have to say that Dove was the most authentic...she looked amazing!

Yesterday I threw Lindsay a baby shower which was a total success!  It was a lot of fun.  After we took the kids to Chris' med school football game and that is where it all began.  Tracen threw up right as we were leaving.  We thought maybe he had heat exhaustion from being outside most of the day...but then it hit me and finally Chris became the final victim.  I called my parents for some much needed blessing and they graciously took Logan home with them.  We were up non-stop until 5:30 this morning.  I have been sick many times, but I don't ever remember feeling so absolutely disgusting.  But I think the worst of it was watching little Tracen and not being able to help him.  I was so weak that I couldn't even get out of bed.  Luckily Chris was able to walk around and take care of us.  He was amazing!  What a way to end the week right?

We still aren't our normal selves today, but at least we aren't throwing up anymore.  We were watching Rudy with Tracen because he loves to watch football.  So he thought that he needed his own helmet so he ran outside and got his bike helmet and put it on backwards so that he could have a sort-of face guard.  What a goof!

Happy 1st Birthday Logan

Happy Birthday Log-meister! You are the cutest chubby baby ever!!

Logan loved his birthday swing!  Thanks Daddy!  Oh and do you see his funny little teeth?

I think this could be the cutest little picture...he looks so tan!

March update: what we've been UP to

We have been super busy lately.  If we aren't at school, then we are being crazy at home and if we aren't there then we are trying to do something fun together as a family.  March was a hectic month went as fast as it came...so here are some of our highlights...
We went on a family date...bowling again.  Tracen is in Heaven whenever we go.  We can't help him bowl anymore...he is way too independent.  He scored a 76 that game.  Not too shabby for a two year old.

We got to go to the Big Horns game for Brayden's birthday...thanks so much Johnson family.  It was a lot of fun!!!
Both boys got another haircut and we fashioned them into fo-hawks (sp?).  Isn't Tray-bug so cute?
While Chris was on Spring break, I abandoned my family for a 4 day retreat in Tahoe with a bunch of Juniors and Seniors from school.  The event is called Kairos and they do 3 or 4 of them a year.  It is an amazing experience.  I loved every minute of it.  There is too much to write, but let just say that I was totally renewed when I came back.  It was even more fun to see the kids be touched and to see changes in them.  Here are some of THE BOYS...a shout out to the SBK...they are really funny.
This is my small group.  We all get split up into smaller groups of 2 leaders, 1 or 2 adults and 8 kids.  We had a lot of fun.  I made up songs that I sang to them daily.  They thought I was crazy but I think deep down they LOVED every minute of it.  One of the boys even came by to see me a couple of days ago just so that I would sing him his song...and now that I really look at this picture..he isn't in it.  Where the heck did he disappear to?
These are the adults that went.  It was a lot of fun...our principal and dean of discipline were on the retreat with us.
Here is the Logan man...he is ROCKIN' CUTE!!!
Uncle Rick bought Tracen an All-Star Jersey.  HE LOVES IT.  I think he would wear it everyday if I let him.
Chris had his Clinician ceremony last week.  Congratulations Chris...2 years down, only 2 to go!
Poor little Tracen had the worst sinus infection that day so his eye was swollen, red and gross.  It was really sad...but he was still his goofy self.
Easter is fast approaching so I pulled out the bunny ears and put them on Logan.  He loved them.  And he is now enthralled with the WIGGLES
Logan will be one on Sunday.  Can you believe it?  At school they threw him a big party...
He really hated the hats...they freaked him out.
Here are some of the kids (Isabella, Jake, Tracen (front), Alyssa and Logan (back)).
They got him his very own SpongeBob Square Pants cake...it took a while, but eventually...
This is what he looked like.  I had to basically pry it away from him.
Thanks Mini Miners for my cool mini 4-wheeler.  I LOVE IT!  Also thanks to everyone for all of my other toys.  I love them all!

So that was our March and first couple days of April.  Everything is going good, I just don't have time to sit down and blog very often...I haven't even been looking at blogs either and that is depressing.  I will try and get on once a week.
