Easter 2011

We had a nice Easter this year. We didn't go anywhere and no one came over. It was just us and still fun. The kids woke up a little early to see their Easter baskets before church. The main Easter egg hunt had to wait until we got home from church, but the Easter Bunny had mercy on them and hid a few inside too. Not much to say other than it was a great day!

The day before Easter we colored some Easter eggs. Almost forgot this year!

Easter just wouldn't be the same without our traditional bunny cake!

Spring Fling

I'm a bit behind, but I wanted to be sure to get some pictures up of this years Family Spring Fling at Jeri and Ken's. It was great to see everyone as usual and the food was fantastic! It was cold this year and even snowed earlier that morning, so we were all couped up inside for the day. No backyard badmitten this year. :( And we didn't get a group photo this year either. Boy, I'm getting lazy! But here are a few that I did take.

Spring Break Trip #2

On the second week of our Spring Break we went camping with some friends from baseball, the Forrests. The dad is Avery's coach and she played for him last year too. They have 2 cute boys ages 9 and 7.

We went to Rancho Jurupa in Riverside. It's the regional park there and it's our second time going. We like it a lot. Nice and close, lakes, parks and it's huge so lots of opportunities for bike riding. We had a great time! It was our first time camping with anyone else and it was a lot of fun! The kids got along great and Devin was the best he's ever been! We're looking forward to going again with them sometime in the near future. Here are a bunch of pictures I took.

This is Devin, Aidan and Justin

Not sure exactly why Kirk is holding our trash can, but the guys were barbecuing our dinner.

The kids had fun giving each other rides on the back of the Forrest kids bikes

And this gives you an idea how huge our lots were. The Forrests trailer is on the left and we are the right. This is when we were packing up to leave, so nothing is outside.
