Easter Morning!

This is not the dress that the Easter Bunny brought, but it is more special! Grandma Brenchley made this dress. I didn't know she was making it, it is just so cute! Emmy picked Grandma's dress to wear to church not the Easter Bunny dress!
Brodyn and Emmy in their new Easter clothes!

The Easter Bunny left make-up and lipstick in Emmy's basket.

Emmy showing me her princess bag!

The Easter Bunny loves to leave books!

Brodyn got nascar race cars in his basket!

Brody's new book!

Easter morning was actually warm enough for the Easter Bunny to leave fun treats outside, and we were able to scavenge around the yard and pick them up!

Emmy found another stash!

Brody hunting for Easter Eggs!

Off they go!

loading up their baskets!

Brenchley Family Easter Party!

Our "Dragon Eggs!"
Our "Glitter Eggs!"

Our "Carrot Cupcakes!"

Evan, Eliza, Brodyn, Elle, Emmy and Isabeau!

Brodyn trying to pop his balloon! I filled 2 dozen balloon's with a piece of candy each and the kids had to try sitting, laying, stepping, or find whatever other means to pop them!

Emmy picking up the loot from our smashed pinata!

Candy everywhere!

Took us awhile but after all the kids had a turn hitting the pinata, Evan finally broke it for us!

Evan helped put up our pinata and hold it while the kids swung at it!


Emmy's turn up to bat!

Brody ready to swing!

Emmy eating her carrot cupcake! Brody sticking his carrots in his cupcake!
My carrots were easy too make but time consuming, each is just an orange starburst with a green twizzler top that I cut with kitchen scissors!



The gang, decorating Easter eggs!

St. Patrick's Day!

We had Eliza and Beau for St. Patrick's day, and we did "Green Eggs and Ham"...however I couldn't get my green eggs to look like 'Sam I am's'. I even consulted MaRea's Blog from last St. Patrick's day because she had figured it out. It was suppose to work with putting green food coloring in a water bottle...it didn't work! I will have to call MaRea next year to help us out! But it did turn out really yummy and the kids ate it all! We didn't do much, some days I have no energy, being huge with baby #3 and all. We did watch the 'Gnome Mobile' and 'Darby Gill and the the little people' from Disney and they were fun!
Melissa's girls came with these cute St. Patty's day head bands, I didn't getting a picture of them in one so we snagged some crazy pictures of Brody and Emmy with them! Of course they both had to make faces!

Sledding down Old Main Hill!

We decided to go sledding a few family home evening's ago, and we got the Brenchley family to come along, we had so much fun!
Emmy getting pulled up the hill. It's hard for little legs to walk that far at an incline!
Lance and Emmy trying out Grandpa Brenchley's sweet inner tube!
Grandpa Brenchley our "Super Scouter," always comes prepared, he brought a lantern so we could actually see, and here's Brodyn warming up his hands!
Grandpa has it all covered!
Danielle and Elle!
Emmy and Lance ready to go again..."later dudes!" Woosh!
Brody enjoyed sliding down on his tummy just as much as the sleds!
Emmy and Brody sliding down on their own.
Brodyn and Dan "thumbs up!"
Emmy is our little daredevil she is always up to trying anything!
Up the Hill...Up the Hill!!
This was another family home evening just at home in the backyard. Brodyn, Emmy and Dan built a sweet T-Rex snowdino.
