Between Birthdays, Easter, and Spring Break it feels like it has been one party to the next. I think it really has been! A couple days after Whitney's birthday we did the city Easter Egg hunt. Me and Aaron aren't big fans and were secretly hoping it would be a bust so we wouldn't have to do it next year. The actual hunt lasts maybe 10 seconds. Parents are going crazy ensuring their kid gets some eggs. There are people everywhere - chaos, just not my cup of tea! Well, bust didn't happen. Our lucky 8 year old won a bike and 5 gift baskets! She seriously robbed the place. Every egg she picked up had a prize. All 6 eggs! So now we get to explain to our kids every year why they didn't win a bike :)
We held our annual Hoopes passover that night with Bethany and Neal. They stayed for the easter bunny that night too. Aaron likes to hide the candy and have the kids find it Easter morning....they enjoy the hunt.
With morning church there wasn't much time to sit around and eat candy - plus we had to have a mini photo shoot....here's the kiddios all decked out.
It was amazing we had a family picture turn out
since they usually end up like this:
In their Easter Jammies
The next day was my birthday. My amazing husband gave me the day off. I didn't hesitate with an offer like that! I ran, shopped and shopped... and then the next day he took me to flowrider where all my dreams came true. We surfed for an hour and then while sitting in the hot tub afterwards, the chatty lifegaurd brought up that it was free hour, so even just a couple people could show up and surf that hour (usually have to have a minimal amount of people.) so after a few minutes deciding where our hunger meter was at...we did it. The lifeguard took down the middle barrier and we had the whole wave to ourselves!! We were exhausted and bruised after 2 hours of surfing....but it was soooooo much fun! To top it off, we splurged on delicious tucanos after. Birthday's really don't get better than that. In all the excitement this is the only photo I ran to snap.
Then it was spring break. We lucked out with good weather. Of course that meant friends and picnics!
To top the amazing week off we had conference. Conference is awesome. Everything about listening to apostles without putting on a dress I love :) We took the kids down to the Payson Temple being built between sessions on Sunday.

So there you have it....now to add to all this excitement.... during all this we finished up the basement! That will be a separate post. Let's just say we are exhausted but happy :)
