All the fun we've had

Our family was all over the place on the opening weekend of Spring sports.  Logan had a game at 8:30, Cam had the little league parade at 10, also Johanna had play practice from 10-5:30.  Ed had a game at 11, which Logan refereed at and Cam had a game at 2.  I taught a piano lesson at 5 while the men were off at Priesthood session.  We all broke for lunch at our local Hawaiin diner-practically the only time we were all together all day!

Go Cardinals-Go number 9!  Cam is enjoying his first try at baseball and is learning a lot.  The whole league had a parade to the ball field last Saturday.

This tart was so good!  It looks so gourmet too-I felt gourmet making it...

My Easter cake-moist from scratch white cake in three layers with lemon curd, cream cheese frosting and toasted coconut.  Delish!

My only Easter picture-and I got new clothes for all the kids too!  Camden and Ed had fun at our community Easter Egg hunt-though we waited an hour for a 20 second hunt.  Oh well.  It was a beautiful day.

Dinner in the gazebo will never be the same with that big house now in the field behind it-Dad can't keep his eye's off it!

Dad rigged up a fun shooting range for the boys

Eddy's best knight birthday ever!  We had so much fun with all the cousin's

 We played several games and everyone dressed up.  This was a "kill the balloon dragon game"  I poked a foam tube through with toothpicks-it actually was quite dangerous-it looked like a mace.  The kids tooks swipes at the dragon and popped all the balloons-it was a blast!

I love how Olivia is hiding sweetly behind her knight (Danielle posed her).  Charlotte refused to play dead and have Eddy pretend to have vanquished her.

The kids were all so cute.  They decorated shields that Dad had made for them-of course he went above and beyond to make amazing cardboard shields for everyone.

 All the kids adored the pinata-Dad rigged it up in a tree and pulled it up and down while the kids swiped at it with balloon swords Danielle had made.

 The Capitol blossoms were amazing as usual and we enjoyed several hours playing there

My Chillin's

We made our own wet parade through Salemtowne with Daisy and Mia and my kids.  Johanna looks so thrilled to be with us, but it actually was fun just to be outside and see all the flowers.  Daisy fell asleep and Mia mostly enjoyed herself-though she did ask to "go home now" through the last part of the walk

And here's my contribution to funny pictures of Dad on our blogs-that's the remnants of Ed's pinata on his head.  I think everyone got to try it on.

The girls are still talking about Eddie's party. Andrea you really should open up a gourmet restaurant in your spare time.
