Easter Weekend

I have such a wonderful family!  Those that could came down this weekend not just to spend Easter with us but to also help Bryce replace his Dad's roof.  My brothers and Dad were such a help to Bryce in pulling off 4 layers of previous roof!  Then, unfortunately, the rain moved in and they had to tarp it all off and call it quits.

It was really fun for us to have family here this weekend.  For Austin, having his cousin Taska here was like one big play date!  Austin and Taska decided to make a solar system.  They worked really hard (and really well together)!  I love the martian on Mars!

Tanya, the kids and I kept plenty busy while the guys were working.

Saturday morning we went to Austin's baseball game and after lunch we went down to the beach.  When we got to the beach the sun came out and it was beautiful!

We dragged the kids away from the beach to do to the local egg hunt, which was a bust.  When we got there, there was no more parking nearby and they wouldn't let us park along the side of the road.  So we had to drive down to another parking lot and start hiking back up the hill with the kids in tow.  By the time we got halfway back up the hill we meet people coming back down the hill because it was already over!  Austin was really upset so went back home and had a hunt of our own.

Easter morning was really cold and gray.  After we did breakfast and baskets we bundled up and went outside to play with bubbles and chalk.  Gypsy had just as much fun catching the bubbles as the kids did!

By afternoon it was pouring down rain, so the guys were home by lunch.  Today is also Bryce's birthday so I baked him his favorite chocolate chip cookies!  His birthday gift is a super new custom made bumper for his truck!

Whew!  What a weekend!  I am looking forward to Austin's spring break this week and getting to spend more time with family this coming weekend!
