Easter

We seem to have made it a family tradition to spend Easter in St George.  In our married life we have spent all but one Easter with Kevin's family.  It has been funny because we didn't even plan that, it just happened that way.

 I do love making the girl's Easter dresses and I am so glad that they think it is cool too. I found this fabric and I wanted them to have matching ones this year, I wanted Janie to have the blue because she looks so pretty in blue but she was not going to have it, she kept picking out all these crazy fabrics for her dress, but when I asked Lizzy to have the blue she was really excited and Janie was happy to have the "pinky pie" one.  That is what she ended up calling her dress.  Nellie of course was thrilled with the green, although she really isn't  very obsessed with it anymore.  I thought they turned out soo cute and I think they may be my favorites of all the dresses I have made them.
At first I was worried that one day Russ would feel left out since I didn't make him and outfit, but everyone assured me that boys don't care and besides the patterns they have for boys aren't nearly as cute as what you can buy them.
 The girls had so much fun being with their Grammie and Papi.  It was a good time.
 Nellie really wanted to take a picture of me kissing Kevy, such silly girls.  They watched our wedding video recently and we totally disgusted by all the kissing, as every kid is I guess.  I just didn't think it started so early.
 After church all the family came over and we dyed Easter eggs.  Kids always have a good time with that.
 Nellie and her pink hat.  She found this in the dress ups at Grammie's and she wore it a lot while we were there.  She is a silly kid.
 My two posers.
 It was really fun to see Kevy's sisters and spend time with them.
 After dying eggs the kids had an egg hunt outside.  We let the little ones go first so they could actually get some.
 One of my favorite pictures!  I just loved how Russ was giving his Daddy a hug.  So cute!
 Lizzy and Brinlee always have such a good time together.
Nellie and Conner get along really well too.  Such cuties!  I realize how bad Nellie needed her bangs cut.  We were going to have Kiki do it but things ended up being so busy it didn't happen so I did it when we got home.

The Red Rock

We went to St. George for our Spring Break, to visit Kevin's family.  We wanted to take the girls to see some things that they might not otherwise.  Unfortunately Kevin ended up having to work pretty much the whole trip.  But he did get a little break here and there, and so we took the kids to the Dixie rock to hike around.  They had a lot of fun and it was one of the highlights of the trip.  Nellie was really nervous at first, but got a little better after a while.  Jane was absolutely without any fear, which is always a little bit scary. I prefer the kids that are scared, because then they will be cautious.  

 Russ LOVES the bjorn so he was so happy just chillin with his dad. We found this little hat for him to wear and he looks so big.  I am glad we had it because his arms got a bit burned.  We forgot sunscreen of course.

 Jane has adopted Lizzy's posing.  She is always putting her hands on her hips and tilting her head, and not just for pictures.  She does it all the time. So cute.
 The girls love seeing the temple that Kevy and I were married in.  They think it is the coolest thing that that was where we were married.
 Our family picture was a little fuzzy,
 The kids loved finding the little cracks and crevices to climb around in.
The girls had so much fun on the trip with their cousins.  Such cute little kids!
