We FINALLY closed on our house!!

Yay! We never thought this day would come! Our mortgage lender turned out to be a total loser - and screwed up our entire loan process. Anyway, his boss took over, and got us approved and ready to go in no time. We closed today, so hopefully we can get the keys tomorrow.
I will get pictures up as soon as I can. Our camera charger has stopped working, and our camera doesn't take batteries, so hopefully we can get it fixed soon.

Happy Easter!

The kids went on the hunt for their baskets and eggs out in the back yard after church. This time Evan had to have a piece of pizza in his hand, along with his basket. If you know Evan, then you won't be surprised at all. He eats more than Cade and Haylee combined! They had fun, and of course got way too much candy!

Easter egg hunt at the Dinosaur park

Our ward has an easter egg hunt each year at the dinosaur park. This year was a fun one, but all of the sudden Haylee decided she was tired and turned into miss grumpy pants. I couldn't get her to smile for anything! Evan had gotten a huge bag of goldfish crackers, and refused to let them go. So he was dragging those around with his easter basket while he hunted for the eggs. Cade took off too quick, and went too far from where I was with the little kids, so I don't have any pictures of him actually trying to find any eggs.





This picture cracks me up. Cade is looking at who-knows what, Haylee is being grumpy as ever and just wants to go home, Evan is LOVING all of the melted chocolate, and Kendal looks like she can't wait until she has enough control of her own arm to reach over and grab some! Getting a great picture with 4 kids seems to be a dream most of the time:)

We had lunch at the park, which Haylee wasn't too happy about. By the time we left, she was asleep in the car before we even got out of the parking lot.

Coloring Easter eggs

The kids had so much fun coloring eggs with Bryce. Haylee had a princess coloring kit, and Cade had Spongebob. They both thought they were pretty cool. Sorry about the mess in the background, it has been crazy around here getting ready to move, and I am so not motivated to clean!!

New pictures of the kids

I went and got the kids pictures taken earlier this week. Cade ended up feeling really sick (and he has now been home all week with the flu). Evan did not sit still for more than 5 seconds at a time (he also fell off of a chair right before we left our house), so considering, these actually turned out pretty well. By the time I tried to get the boys together, I couldn't even get Evan to sit still for the 5 seconds. Oh well, there is always next time...

A few of my favorite pics

I was going through some pictures on my computer tonight, and found a few that I love. These were all taken before I was introduced to the world of blogging, so I thought I would pick a few and post them. Enjoy!

Some of our favorite pics of President Hinckley

The kids helped us pick out some of our favorite pictures of the Prophet. These are a few that we found. We also had the opportunity to sustain President Hinckley one more time during our ward conference this morning at church. What an awesome opportunity that was.
We always DVR General Conference, and we still have last October's saved. It will be a great opportunity to go back and watch it again with the kids, knowing that it was his last conference address. He was an incredible person, and he will definitely be missed!
