Easter

Easter highlights from 2025:

-We got to sit down to breakfast together. We had whole wheat buttermilk pancakes, buttermilk syrup, strawberries and bananas, whipped cream, bacon, scrambled eggs, and chocolate milk

-The kids hunted and found their Easter bags, which were filled with all the traditional Easter candy

-They each had a wrapped gift from Justin and me. Molly: really nice shampoo and hair oil, Stockton: hockey stick, Brynn: mini bluetooth speaker, Ivy: new rollerblades

-Kids even had time to find the chocolate eggs that were hidden all over the house. They did an excellent job this year, I haven't come across any that they didn't find, although there was one from last year that was still hiding in my piano books that they had never found. To be fair, it had fallen behind the books so I was the only one who ever saw it there. I showed them but can't remember who I actually gave it to.

-Going to church together but we didn't have time to get a picture at home before we left so we had Dale Whimpey take a picture of us in Justin's office after sacrament meeting.

I told the kids I would buy them three items for their spring/summer wardrobe. Ivy's the only one who picked a new Easter dress and she looked beautiful!
-I did some pictures of the kids outside after church. I didn't notice that Stockton was being a goofball in every picture.
-I had this old photo of Molly and Stockton pop up on my phone that day so the two of them tried to recreate it.

-Justin came home with us too!
-We drove up to Plain City for my mom's Easter party where we played games, ate dinner, and had the much-loved kid and adult egg hunts.

Happy Easter, Happy Spring!

Brynn @ 18 months

Yes, you read that right.  Brynn is 18 months old!!  She is so fun to have around the house and I haven't done a post devoted just to her for a while, so I thought it was about time. -She loves books!  She was never really that interested until sometime in the past couple months and now she can't get enough.  Sacrament meeting went from impossible to we can make it through...as long as I pack enough books for her.  This is how I often find her at night or during nap time. -She also loves blankets and towels, although she is not particular about which blanket.  She just wants something soft. She wants to walk around all over with them wrapped around her...they don't stay very well and she gets frustrated.  For that reason, I try to keep her blankets out of sight during the day. They come out when it's time to sleep. -Like my other kids, she loves her warm milk!  Actually, she'll drink it cold too. -She is a quiet one, always has ...

Christmas Advent 2012

Okay, here goes... Day 1: paint clay ornaments When we cut down trees this year there were a bunch of tops already cut down just lying on the ground so we took a couple home...one for Molly and Stockton's room and one for Brynn's room.  When the ornaments were dry I hung them on their little trees. Day 2: watch the Christmas Devotional (And eat Christmas corn!) Day 3: library story time Stockton was pretty nervous to see Santa but I think he was even more scared of not telling him what he wanted for Christmas.  He's smiling but it's a nervous smile!   Brynn had no reaction.   Day 4: Santa face craft   Day 5: Festival of Lights   Day 6: write letters to Santa Stockton: "Captain America" Molly: "an easy bake oven" & "a car for Molly"    Day 7: go shopping for cousin exchange and wrap presents Day 8: North Pole Express with Moyes family           ...
