Easter 2008

The kids this Morning 1/2 awake 1/2 asleep, sitting on the stairs waiting to see if the Easter Bunny found us in Florida?...
I set my alarm clock for 6:00 to get up ready for church, start breakfast and get things going for Lunch. But... as the alarm clock went off it not only woke me up it woke up Millie. So I decided to lay back down with her to get her back to sleep. It was a delight to climb back in bed and hold still. Hold still I did until I sat straight up in bed looked at the clock to see it was already 7:45. We have to be on the road by 8:30 to make it to church on time. Ahh with a little Hussle in my step I darted from my bed to the kids bed Frantically waking them up...
"Get Up, we've got to see if the Easter Bunny came!"
We quickly checked out the goods, threw a chocolate egg or two in our mouths and began getting ready for church.
We made it to church on time... and let me tell you that is IMPRESSIVE... 5 kids, 2 adults checking out the Easter goods, showered, feed, hair done and on time so the Primary kids could sing in Sacrament meeting. Whoosh... although we were in such a HURRY we forgot to take photos of the Monkeys in their Easter clothes. They looked Fabulous... Heath picked out all the girls Easter dresses this year and they all looked so sweet!
(Thanks Love, it was such a fun date night!)
After church we decided to head to the beach.. it was Wonderful and we were all Smiles!


Thank Heavens for Dad's Shoulders!
Here's our Handsome Men!
And as you can see we Enjoyed a little Chocolate, the Beach, being with All Together, a Yummy Lunch, a Good Nap and it Doesn't get Much Better Than That!

Happy Easter!

Sounds like a delightful Easter! You'll have to take a picture next Sunday of everyone in their easter fashions. A day at the beach sounds heavenly, and a picnic too! We are thankful for you guys! A rendezvous in July sounds delightful. Have you heard about Stave? I haven't heard in a while.
Lots o love, Heather

What a Easter to remember. Looks like you made it a family day of fun. I am impressed that you can hustle and bustle like that. I wish my kids could sleep in like like. No we were up before the sun and the birds. Happy Easter!

I completely know how you feel! Our Easter wen the same way. I just don't like the 9:00 church. I can't get anything done before hand. Thank goodness Dan and Mikayla showered the night before! Cute kiddo's. I envy the beach opportunity!

Kelly you amaze me! I can't get my little family to church on time even when we do have plenty of time. 9am church is hard for me. I am SO not a morning person. Looks like a fun Easter.
