Easter Weekend

Our Easter weekend was packed with lots of fun. We spent time with family, the kids found more candy than they can eat. We had great weather for a few days.
On Sunday we went to church then had a BBQ at my mom's house, and had all the Eppich cousins over for the Easter Egg Hunt. What a fun time for the kids.

The kids always enjoy spending time with their cousin.

Brooklyn's first Easter. 10 months old. She was so excited to see the eggs. We have had Easter Eggs around our house for about a month now, the kids have been hiding them and finding them. Brooklyn has enjoyed playing with them.

Finding Easter Baskets Sunday morning

The kids got new swim suits, clothes, sunglasses, water bottle and candy.

What a fun time for Morgan and her cousin Jocelyn. They only see each other 2 times a year, so when they do they always have a great time. All the kids spent the night at Vard's and then Jocelyn came to our house the next day.
Friday we went to Vard's for the Jenks Easter Party. The kids got more eggs then they could fit in their baskets. Natalie did very well. I couldn't believe all the eggs she found, all the practicing at home paid off I guess.

Garrett helping the kids, they are looking for the golden egg. We didn't find it this year.

1st grade field trip

Madalyn and her BFF Corrigan Neil playing at the Park. Pretending to be firefighters.
Last Friday I was able to go with Madalyn and the first grader's on their field trip. We went to the Pasco Court House, the Post Office, and the Park to have lunch.
Corrigan, Madie, and Jaylin
The Court House, this was the kids favorite stop. They got to see a police car, jail van and sit in the court house room and listen to the judge.
Madalyn and Taylor missing lots of teeth.

Preparing for the BIG Easter Egg Hunt

Free at last

Tuesday we went to get Brooklyn's cast off. What a HAPPY DAY!!!! I don't know who was more excited her or me.

She was not to sure of the blade, she didn't want to hold very still. The doctor said that it looked really good, he was impressed with the healing of the femur. It's about 90% healed he said just be careful with her. It should take about 3 more months to fully heal.

She still favors that leg, we think it's still a little sore for her. Over time it should get stronger.

Shrine Circus

On Saturday we took the family to the circus. It was the first time we had been to the circus. I don't even remember going as a kid. Garrett said they went when he was little but he doesn't remember much. The Shrine Circus came to the Trac in Pasco this past weekend so we thought we would see how it was.

We had invited my parents to come and go with us, the kids were so happy that they could make it.

When we got there they were giving Elephant rides. The kids really wanted to go. We went to see how much they were and I about died...$10 a person for a very short ride. But the kids really wanted to so we let them. It was a lot of money but I'm really glad we did the girls loved it. They can't stop talking about it. Plus how often do you get to ride an elephant.

My camera doesn't take the best pictures in the dark. The girls loved the circus. I really enjoyed it also. They had a horse, dog, elephant act with animals. Also some great other acts, some looked very dangerous.

Sorry so many pictures, girls wanted them all on here. So we would have them in our Families blog book.

It was so cute Brooklyn loved clapping, when she heard everyone else clapping then she would start.
