Hello

Griffin has always loved to play with my cell phone but just the other day he started to pick it up, put it on his head and say HELLO. It is the cutest thing ever. If I can ever get it on video I will post it for everyone to enjoy. Also notice that he doesn't quite know where he should put the phone. It usually ends up on his forehead like in the last picture.

Easter

This year was full of easter egg hunts. Thursday at school each of the kids had an egg hunt. On Saturday I had a bunch of meetings to be to so Alex took the kids to the City egg hunt and then another one at a friends house. Then on Sunday we did one here at our house after church. I had a really hard time with my kids yesterday because all they kept talking about was when they were going to get there Easter baskets so I made them wait until after church before I let them have their easter baskets. They also had to tell me why we celebrate Easter. I think that by the end of the day they understood the real reason for Easter but I think next year we are going to try to make it more CHRIST centered. (I would love some ideas if you have some)

We woke Griffin up from a nap so he wasn't to happy about the egg hunt.

All of the kids at the City Easter Egg Hunt. Notice that all of Fenton's egg's are green. Those were his orders from Dalton. I wish he followed my orders that well.

Griffin had no desire to pick up Easter Eggs he just wanted to eat the dirt.

Massacre Rocks

For Spring Break we went to Rockland to spend some time with Grandma and Grandpa Moss. We had a great time spending time with them and watching Conference. On the way home we took a little detore to Massacre Rocks State Park to play around for a few hours. The kids had a GREAT time playing on all of the rocks and it was nice to have a place to run around with NO SNOW. Fenton is giving himself bunny ears and Ethan is shooting at you.

Griffin LOVING the grass and being able to run around

Take Your Hat Off

Each year the 3rd graders at our Elementary School put on a patriotic program called Take your Hat Off. They sing a lot of songs about taking your hat off when a flag goes by, justice, the constitution and a bunch of others. It was fun to watch all of these kids so excited about America and what we stand for. They did a really good job!

Dalton's Birthday

Last week was Dalton's 9th birthday. It's hard to believe that he is getting that old. On the Saturday before his birthday we took him to Pocatello and let him do some shopping and then went to eat at Red Lobster (he wanted crab legs). The day of his birthday we opened some presents and ate cake and ice cream. HAPPY BIRTHDAY DALTON!Lego's A card and money from Grandma Spencer

Mushroom head Darth Vader cake. I am not a very good cake decorator and usually buy the kids cakes but decided that I could handle this one. After seeing this picture I think I will stick with buying them. Yes we ran out of candles so I had to improvise.

Face Painting

Anika was begging me to have a face painting party so finally I let her invite some friends over and we spent the afternoon painting faces and arms and tummies. It was kind of crazy but a lot of fun. Fenton's Spider Fenton had a spider a pirate ship and thomas. I'm not sure why he wanted the circles around his eyes.

Anika's friend Aurora painted Anika's arms and she had a unicorn and a princess on her cheeks.

Ethan and his buddies. Ethan had an airplane an aircraft carrier and a pirate ship.

Dalton didn't want much done so he just had a mustache

Father Son Campout

A few weeks ago Alex planned a father/son camp out for our ward. They snowmobiled to a cabin up Paris canyon and spent a bunch of time snowmobiling and sledding. The boys had a great time. Ethan Sledding Dalton going backwards (his favorite)
