Happy Easter

This year we spent Easter weekend up in Honeyville. My mom came down on Wednesday night and stayed the night and then took Lucas and I back with her on Thursday. We stopped at a couple fabric stores and I finally found some fabric that I like for the Lucas' room. I could never find exactly what I wanted (stripes and circles) so I changed my mind and decided to go with a jungle theme. Since the color of his wall is such bright green, I thought that would make for a cute jungle! I couldn't be happier! Here is a picture of the fabric. While I was home my mom helped me make curtains, crib ruffle, and two quilts...one for the crib and one for Lucas' twin bed. They turned out so cute. I forgot to take a picture of the quilts, but I'll post them as soon as I get them back. My grandma is going to bind them for me.

The jungle print is the back of the quilts, The leaves are the for the curtains and the ruffle and the flannel prints are the top of the quilt.

Mom hard at work...she was incharge of the curtains and ruffle...it's a good thing cause I would have totally cut the fabric wrong! Thanks mom for helping me!

Jed and Tawnya came up on Friday night after work. On Saturday we went to the Honeyville park for an Easter egg hunt. Even after all the practicing my mom had Lucas do before hand, he still could have cared less about the eggs...he just wanted the slide! Jed and Nappy participated in the adult egg throwing contest. They took 2nd place and I was truly proud of their accomplishment!! Besides, they should have been 1st...the first place team couldn't break there egg...I think it was boiled. Bunch of cheaters!! :)


Jed catching the prized egg!


Nappy gently tossing


My favorite 2nd place team!
We colored Easter eggs and my parents house. Again, Lucas was not interested at all. He prefered to run wild on the grass! My dad had bought a new wagon to hook to the riding lawn mower. Talk about the best entertainment ever...for my dad and Lucas! We had a BBQ at Boyd and Ellen's that afternoon. Lucas loved playing with all the little cousins. He was filthy dirty by the end, but he had a blast! Jed was lucky enough to help a neighbor pull a calf...he even got to swing the calf around to clean out it's lungs! He was pretty thrilled and said he learned a lot! Not sure when the knowledge will come in handy again, but at least he has it!!
We went to my parents ward and then had a yummy Easter meal before heading back home.


Hamm & Sally

Love the face!




Better than the carnival!








Xadun running for his life! Notice the cool boots with the shorts. It's what he wanted to wear and who can argue with a 2 year old!!

How cute is Xadun!





Throwing dirt...no wonder he was so dirty!

New Easter duds! (He does clean up rather nicely!)




Nappy & Tawnya


My new favorite picture of Lucas and Nappy!

The coolest Nappy I've ever known...oh wait, she's the only Nappy I've ever known...but, I sure do love her!
