Easter Reunion

I thought this was a great picture of Mom at Wheeler Farm in Salt Lake

the kids loved climbing all over this tractor and especially playing in a tree house at the farm.

Me and My Cami. The hayride through the back part of the farm was beautiful, and hard to believe that it was so close to the city.

Most of my family enjoyed Easter weekend together at my sister Katy's house in Utah. I thought this was so cute of grandpa and some of the grandkids.

Ed picked the chocolate bunny out of the "prize wagon" after our egg hunt. He looked everything over and said "Mmmm, I'll just take this" all casual like.

This egg was just for Johanna-no one else could reach.

All the kiddies. They had a great time hunting for eggs-there was a ton of candy! Sorry about all the cameras in the picture!

I love this photo of Grandma and Logan talking-Grandma and Logan have a special relationship because Grandma always takes the time to listen to and talk to Logan about what he's interested in.

This is how we REALLY look
We had such a good time together, but staying up too late made us a little crazy (see below). Unfortunately, I do not have an ugly picture of myself to include (you can check out my sister's blog to see that-and in fact, I won the uglyface contest).

The Kitty Queen

Inky can turn anything into her royal bedchamber. She snuggled right down in these clothes I was folding. So cozy!

The true queen of our home-at least in her own mind. This paper towel roll crown fit perfectly! When I told Blake about this picture, he said I had too much time on my hands (not true!), but I had a perfectly good excuse-it was just a lefover from preschool preparations last night.

101 ways with a boiled egg....

We had plenty of eggs to dye last Saturday. Aunt Brooke brought several dozen, and I had boiled 18 as well! The kids were in boiled egg heaven. Dye going here and there, dye going everywhere! It was fun having Brooke and Shane and their two kids back with us after a three year hiatus in Kentucky.

Blake was here for a very quick weekend-he got in at Midnight Friday and left Sunday after sacrement meeting. The kids (and me too) loved having him home and Eddy didn't want to spend a minute away from him.

That kid in his underpants is my nephew Jett. I told Brooke that now that she's moved from Kentucky, she could no longer let her kids run around like that! = )

My beautiful flower cupcakes. Each cake had a ton of candy on it, making them super kid pleasers. Okay, I liked them too.

Crepes......and more crepes. I gave a cooking class on crepes last week, so my kids got as many crepes as they wanted. I made at least 7 batches and tried new recipes with them. This one here is Chocolate Souffle Crepes with strawberry sauce and cream.

Our Annual Spring Break in OR.

Here is Blake's bachelor pad/loft. It's very small-but what does Blake need space for??? I brought Johanna and Logan down to Medford to visit Blake. Johanna slept on the loveseat, Logan on the floor, and luckily, Blake had a full size bed for me to share with him = ) We drove all over Medford looking at houses-always fun to do!

Yes, here is photographic evidence that Blake can cook-oh wait-I made this meal....Anyway, this is the very cooktop that Blake has been using to concoct gourmet Hamburger Helper.

the capitol was gorgeous as ever. (dandelion courtesy of Ed)
