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!

Letting Sarah get her hair done as a present. That is the best. I think I have given the present to Kirsten a couple of times. She has also given it to herself a couple of times without first telling me. Funny stuff.

The 80's bunco looks so fun. I wish I could have come.

You are a wonderful friend and you hosted a fabulous shower for Lindsay, she got some really cute things.

Sorry to hear you got sick so much. What is up with that?

We need to get together again, just a small group.
