Easter Dinner and Egg Hunt

 

 

 

 

Easter Sunday we drove to Vegas and ate dinner at Steve's parents house. Almost all of Steve's side of the family were in attendance. The kids had fun hunting eggs that were filled with money. It's a tradition for Steve's Mom and Dad to fill eggs with dollar bills and write names of each Grandchild on the outside of the egg. Each child gets about 5 dollars! They love this tradition!

Easter Morning

 

 

 

 

The kids woke up to lots of fun things in their baskets. The Easter Bunny treated them well this year. They all got their favorite kind of chips and gum. The older boys got deodorant and cologne(They actually wear this stuff.) The younger kids got school workbooks, mechanical pencils, and bubbles. It was a fun day!

Family Egg Hunt at Valley of Fire

 

 

 

 

This year we went out to the Valley of Fire for a picnic/Egg Hunt. Lots of my side of the family were there. The kids love to hang out with their cousins. We had a simple egg hunt for the young children, and an intense egg hunt for the older kids. Lots of climbing was involved in finding the eggs. This will probably be a new tradition we start doing with the family every Easter!

Easter Egg Hunt

 

 

 

 

The kids had a fun Easter this year. They had their fair share of Easter Egg Hunts and candy. These pictures are taken at the Fair grounds in Logandale. This Egg Hunt was put on by Parks and Recreation. Cousins and friends joined us that day. Cameron was quite excited when he found one of the eggs that had a number inside. He was the grand prize winner of an Easter basket filled with water guns! If you know Cameron, then you are very aware that he loves to win! He was very protective of the basket, and didn't let it out of his sight!

Grand Slam Canyon

 

 

 

 

Over Spring Break we went to Grand Slam Canyon at Circus Circus. Almost all of the cousins from Steve's side were able to go with us. The kids had a great time riding the rides, and hanging out with cousins.

11 Year Old Scout Overnighter

 

 

 

 

Back on the 19th of March, Conner had an eleven year old scout overnighter out at the Overton Wildlife Refuge. All of the dads were invited and Steve went along. We couldn't find a smaller tent, so Steve and Conner set up our big family tent. Conner made sure he told me that it was the biggest tent of all. The focus of the camp out was to introduce the boys to the importance of the preisthood. Conner is sporting pictures of him wearing the "Armor of God."
There was also an obstacle course where the boys were able to challenge their fathers in a race. Conner smoked Steve by a landslide the first go round, but Steve improved in the second go round and only lost by a few seconds. It was a fun and spiritual experience for both Steve and Conner.

More California Pictures!

 

 

 

 

We went to Ventura Beach for the day. The weather was perfect! The water was freezing, but that didn't stop the kids for a second! They were riding the waves, looking for sea shells, and playing baseball on the beach. Austin took a long nap in his car seat while we were there! Hearing the sound of the waves must have relaxed him more than usual. We can't wait for our next excursion to the Beach!
