Easter Eggs

Clara literally thought dying Easter eggs was the funnest thing she has ever done. She loved banging, smashing and eating the eggs shells and all. We all just sat and laughed at her forever. The boys were so entertained by her they hardly realized she was wasting all of the eggs. Luckily we had boiled a lot of eggs this year so there were plenty left over for Luke and Brods!

The blossoms at the capitol building were so beautiful this spring. I told the family that if were going to do a quick photoshoot in their Easter outfits and I promised it wouldn't last more than fifteen minutes. The kids were actually really good and we were done in fifteen minutes. Mark and the boys complain a lot about how many pictures we take but I just want to remember every little stage of our kids' lives. 

Brody's Special Day

Brody lucked out that his birthday landed on a Saturday this year so he had the entire family home to help him celebrate! Up first on his agenda was Get Air trampoline park. He was so excited and could hardly wait to get up there. I always love to watch the kids when we go there because their little faces are so red and sweaty. They have so much fun when we're there and play so hard. 

Mark was given front row tickets to the Jazz game that night by his boss and we were still trying to figure out what to do with them. We of course gave Brody first choice and he was sure all day he wanted to go. After we left Get Air he decided that what he really wanted for his birthday night was Chick-Fil-A, Sharks in the Water from Fizz and a movie night. Luke totally lucked out and went to the game with Mark for a once in a lifetime experience while I delivered Brods wish list. 

It made me tear up to think about what my sweet Brods wanted. He is the easiest to please and loves your time more than anything! I can't express the love I have for this little four year old as we cuddled up that night and watched The Good Dinosaur, ate Chick-Fil-A and drank Sharks in the Water! I pray with all my heart that Brods had a perfect day because if anyone deserved it Brody did! 

Brody is Four

The love I have for this sweet boy is fierce! He makes being a mother a dream and melts my heart on a daily basis! I tell Mark all the time I don't know what we did to get blessed with this sweet boy!

Brody could hardly wait to wake up for his birthday on April 1st! He requested sprinkle cinnamon rolls for his breakfast. They were there waiting for him along with his presents. I love how he was in awe as we sang Happy Birthday to him! He loved the Do-A-Dots we gave him and couldn't wait to use them! Now it was his day to pick what he wanted to do and thoroughly enjoy himself! 

Easter Morning

Each year as the kids get older it becomes harder and harder to snap pictures of them because they are so quick and busy. I felt lucky to get one decent picture of Luke and Brods this year. Luckily, Clara was content just sitting and eating her goodies so I was able to capture a few of her. I always love Easter morning pictures though because of their sleepy faces and messy hair! I sure hope these three had a wonderful Easter! I am so blessed to have them in my life and I thank my Savior for the opportunity to learn and be their mother! 

Dying Eggs

Clara was literally killing us this year dying Easter eggs! She couldn't understand why we would want to put them in the dye instead of eating them. I don't even want to think how many shells she ate that night. Clara definitely had a blast but her brothers were stressed she was eating all the eggs and none would be left for them.

Mark finally took Clara for her tubby and let the boys have at it without their helper! It always amazes me how quickly the boys complete this task. They are dipping eggs in and pulling them out the second they have color on them. Luke and Brods get so excited I just love to watch them!

Since I had actually bought new Easter outfits for the kids this year I talked Mark into doing a quick photoshoot with the kids. I promised it would only take fifteen minutes at the most. The kids actually did an amazing job and we were done in probably less than fifteen minutes! It was an Easter miracle!
