May/Easter Recap

When we first moved into our home there was this cute little bunny who had made his home in a tree in our front yard. He is SO friendly and will come eat carrots right out of your hand! Jaden LOVED him and would go out and feed him every day....I think Duke scared him away though because every time we see him he is now across the street at the neighbors...eihter that or they have better carrots than us!

Holidays are always more fun with kids and they get even better when the kids get old enough to get excited about everything going on! This Easter was no exception! Jaden was SO excited for Easter and couldn't wait to see what the Easter bunny brought him. To help him get excited we took him to see the movie Hop...he loved it! We started our festivities by coloring the eggs the day before...
Jaden was so excited to leave the eggs out for the Easter Bunny to hide! For about 2 months before Easter Jaden had decided that he wanted a watering can for Easter to water our plants, he even had a specific one in mind... well less than a week before Easter he decided that what he REALLY wanted was a pillow pet...and the Easter Bunny delivered!
Ella also loved her Easter Basket...
We spent the morning together at home in Eden and then headed down to Salt Lake to go to church with my parents. The kids looked adorable in their Easter clothes!
Mom and Ella Kate
After church we headed to Shawn's parents house. Karen always has such beautiful flowers so we took some pictures of the kids.
A very exciting thing for our family also happened in May when daddy graduated with his Masters from the University of Phoenix! We are SO proud of him and SO excited the he NEVER has to go back :) It been nice to have him at home more and I am so grateful to have a husband who values his education and sets such a great example for our kids...they have to get it from one of us right :)
With this wonderful not sunny weather a lot of our activities have been moved inside...well in Eden there is even less to do inside than out, so we headed down for a trip to the aquarium with my sister and her kids... Jaden gets so excited to see all his cousins!

My sweet little Ella just hanging out! She has such an easy fun personality that is shining through more every day and we LOVE it!!!!
As a mom I find my happiest moments are either sitting down and playing with both of my kiddos or watching them both just play together on their own! Ella is so tolerant and no one can make her laugh like Jaden does...which just makes my heat happy!

It may be hard to believe but she was laughing hysterically in this picture!!!
Snuggle time!
Just hanging out eating lunch at home..our home...LOVE IT!!!
