Our Easter HULK

It looks like Jon liked his first experience dying eggs!
Two fisted even!
Jocelyn sent these pictures of Jon with his egg dying experience. I figured I would post them for all to see this little cutie!

Spring flowers

The wonderful thing about when the snow melts is that the bulbs start emerging and within days it is a colorful array of flowers, starting with the crocus and then the daffodils and tulips.
I took the boys to Temple Square to get pictures because my Visiting Teacher told me they were just starting to really bloom. Although almost every yard has some. I actually almost layed on the ground to shoot up and get the temple.
Jonas took this one to show the flower beds all along the sidewalk paths.
Besides the bulbs, many trees are also in bloom. They are so beautiful.
I love this statue, but the tulips made it look like they were playing in a field. It was well worth the trip, right up until Jonas and then Jaren decided to jump from planter to planter. Of course we ended up with a twisted ankle. The security guard offered to get the paramedics but Jaren managed to limp to the car. We iced it up when we got home and he is just hobbleing a little now. Actually, he says just barely limping!

Easter Dinner

Jenna and Casey came up for Easter, his sister Charity, and his friend Josh also came. It was great to have them! We played a little trivia game after dinner and of course Jenna won. Her prize was a giant chocolate bunny! Grandma Gigi, Grandma and Grandpa Goodner were also here. Doug fixed his great ham and deviled eggs of course. It was a good day and we thoroughly enjoyed it.

Egg Dying

Casey dyed an egg blue with a white "Y" It looked pretty cool and he was very proud of it.
We dyed eggs to mark each place setting. We tried a new technique with rubberbands, and then Jenna wrote the names on with a Sharpie. Notice that we do not have 12 dozen eggs as in the past.

Christmas Break

Trevon getting a tow to the tow line from Cole, he had the best time, smiling the whole time.
Ethan on a tube. What great fun!
A Giant Snowball Fight!
Garin, Shelby, Ethan, Trevon and a very hesitant Starlee.
Starlee kept her distance, but didn't want to go inside either.

The day after Christmas we traveled home to Utah and were followed by Jonathan,Janelle, Garth, Garin, Shelby, Ethan, Trevon, Starlee, Ryden and Jonas' friend Cole(the tall one). Actually he and Garin drove home with us. There was lots of skiing and tubing and a few snowball fights. We had a house full but we were so excited to have them come. What a Christmas present! Here's the all the kids with Frosty.

Giving this a try!

Well, we thought we would give this a try; having enjoyed several friends and family that have done this. More to come!
Love, The Pitt's
