Easter Sunday 2013

We spent Easter Sunday in Kaysville with Brian's family. Everyone was there except for Kevin and Naomi and their kiddos. Of course, they were greatly missed!

Ruth in her Easter Sunday best!



I love matching the kids' outfits for Easter.



Wes claims he hates pink, but we talked about how handsome he'd look in this tie and he was happy to wear it!

Wes wanted to get a picture with his Easter bunny stuffed animal. He loves stuffed animals!

Sydney in her Easter dress.

Mom and baby girl!

Another one of Ruth!

Siblings!

We went on a family walk and looked at the ducks. (Well, we left Grandma and Grandpa home to make dinner.) :)



Ruth came on the walk, too! She likes going on walks.



It was a beautiful day.



Sydney, Uncle Craig, and Wes all on screens.

Spring Break in Utah

We went to Utah for Spring Break and for Easter. We spent the first night in Draper with my sisters and the rest of the week in Kaysville with Brian's family. It was a lot of fun especially because the weather was beautiful!



Our first stop was downtown Salt Lake to spend time at Temple Square and the Conference Center.

My bet was that Sydney was going to fall in but everyone stayed dry!

Not my favorite picture of myself ever, but that Temple is where I was married to my husband!

Aunt Jennie was telling the kids facts about the Tabernacle. Wes had a question.

After Jennie's lesson, we listened to the demonstration of the Tabernacle's acoustics.

Cousins in front of the Conference Center (except for the babies).

The babies: Ruth, Ruby, and Lanie.

More water!

Everyone did a tour of the Conference Center.

I think this shot is really cool of the kids looking at the waterfall at the Conference Center.
Grandpa Hanks read the kids a bedtime story.

On Saturday, March 30th, we celebrated "Easter Bunny Saturday".

The kids were very excited about their Easter baskets, of course.

The kids then looked for Easter eggs in the living room.

Audrey had fun hunting, too!

Looking through the spoils!

After the home hunt, the kids got to go hunting at Grandma and Grandpa's church.

Sydney searching for eggs.

Grandma was a great helper in the hunt!

Look at all of the eggs Ruth collected! :)

Sydney found one in the tree!

Audrey, Wes, and Sydney got the candy out of their eggs.

Then they returned the plastic eggs to the baskets.

Grandma set us up to dye Easter eggs.

Grandma helped Wes with his.

Brian read a bedtime story from his iPad to the kids.
