all hopped up on crazy

wow.
are you impressed? i am actually updating the blog within 24 hours of a holiday happening.
this feels like a large step for all of us. i feel strangely proud.

Easter 2011 : perfection.
this past week was Minie's first ever spring break and i just didn't feel like we could do nothing. add that to a holiday weekend.. well something had to be done.
we obviously did the only thing to do when you live in northern Utah in the spring;
we headed to Dixie.

we spent 5 days basking in the glorious 80 degree St.George weather. i got to hang out with my sister, and the baby girl's got their annual yard playing time in. did you forget we live in a town home?? well, we do and i mostly hate it. but now we are just beyond the point.
the girls and i ditched dustin at home in the rainy salt lake weather and headed down south Tuesday afternoon... i was supposed to come home Friday night to spend the holiday weekend with my peeps here, but did i mention the 80 degree sunshine weather there? i did. well then, let me also add that my girls were blissfully enjoying some St.George cousin time and did not (would not) want to leave either. i couldn't deny them. it was settled. despite many grumbles from the family up north, dustin was to take the Shuttle from SLC to St.George friday after work, and we spent our Easter weekend with the Lamoreaux's...in 80 degree weather. i just really feel like i cannot reiterate that point enough.
:)

so we dyed our eggs...
which was crazy and messy.. and surprisingly speedy.

and Easter baskets were demolished.
sully didn't really do much damage.. but he was very excited about his sucker.

all this little lady ate today was candy.
no really. that is all she ate.
she also puked in her crib about an hour ago.
surprise!

pretty Easter ladies

my children could only find eggs that were dropped in plain sight...
so our egg hunt wasn't actually much of a hunt, but more of an egg gathering.
robyn told her older children they weren't allowed to touch any eggs close the ground. so about 95% of them.
they probably love having us for holidays.

see.... plain sight.
also
i took probably 60 pictures and not a one of them revealed minie's face in solo.
but her curls look good, right?

these boys are my favorite.
although it may be time for Robyn to invest in some new big boy baskets.
just saying...

this dude isn't so bad either.

the whole group in very true form.
Happy Easter.

we arrived home to rain, gray skies, and snow capped mountains.
hmph.
i guess it's back to reality. but thanks to a very warm, relaxing spring break in Dixie,
i think i can handle it.

xo,
