Easter Sunday




Kiley & I stayed up pretty late last night. I was reading (The Book Thief! Excellent read!!) & Kiley was putting a scavenger hunt together for the kids for Easter. I woke up this morning to Teagen in my face letting me know that he was STARVING! He has been sick the past few days & hasn't eaten much. I kind of made some kind of grumbling response & then asked Kiley what time it was. I am almost embarassed to tell you all that it was 9:10 am! I can't tell you the last time we slept in that late! I jumped out of bed & ran to Livy's room. She was just chillin standing up in her crib. Who know's how long she had been up! Brayden had been down stairs for who know's how long watching Nickelodeon. We got going quickly because Kiley had to get to choir practice (they had to sing in church today). So the boys found the easter egg jar that had the first clues for their little hunt to find their easter baskets. It is so fun to watch them figure things out. I was quite impressed with how well Brayden understood the clues. He would figure it out right away & then I laughed to myself & to Kiley because it took Teagen a little longer to figure out some of his clues! They found their baskets & had a fun time going through them! We had a nummy brunch at our friends house, along with another little easter egg hunt. We were running a bit behind schedule & so I didn't get pictures taken before church of all of us in our coordinated outfits, but I was able to snap a few pics after church just before we headed over to our friends house for a nummy easter dinner. Kiley & I even matched the kids, but unfortunately, I didn't get a picture with us. We are going to have family pictures taken SOON, so I will post them when I do! As for now, enjoy the kiddos!

Happy Easter!





We have had a lot of fun Easter activities over the past few weeks. The first one was a church Easter Egg Hunt. Teagen was at school, so it was just Brayden, Livy, & I. Brayden partcipated in the Egg Grabbing event! There were hundreds (or so it seemed!) of eggs all over the soccer field. The kids were let loose & off they ran collecting as many eggs as they could (around 12-15, there were LOADS of kids there)! It was the perfect day for an easter egg hunt!


A few days after this fun outing, we had another Easter Party at our friends, the Clarks! Lauren (Kiley works with Dustin so that is how we know them) put on a fun party for the kids. Teagen was also in school at the time, so Brayden scored once again & had a good time collecting candy filled eggs! He was very concerned about Teagen & saved his eggs & goodies to share with him when he got home from school. What a nice boy! I don't know why, but I didn't take any decent pictures that day. So there are only a couple & of course his eyes are closed and Liv isn't looking!

The Phantom of the Opera!


We had the opportunity a week & a half ago to go to see Phantom! We went with our friends, the Nelson's. We went to a nice restaraunt on the River Walk called Budrous (sp???), which was a BIG splurg for us!!! I loved my meal, but we all agreed that the next time we go see a show, we will eat some where cheap & pay out more money for better seats. I mention the seats cause I only paid $22 each for our seats, BUT when they were showing us where our seats were, we both kind of chuckled & said that they better not be those empty seats at the VERY TIPPITY TOP-THE FARTHEST AWAY POSSIBLE SEATS. Sure enough, they had Kiley & Jen writtn all over them! We still enjoyed the show, especially the music, but we did learn that sometimes $22 isn't the greatest deal! :) Besides feeling a little woozy due to loss of oxygen from being up so high, we had a great time! Thanks Austin & Andrea!
