Easter eggs

The kids got their fill of Easter eggs this year. We hid eggs around the house at least a dozen times, we dyed eggs with friends and we went to two outdoor egg hunts.A couple in our congregation owns a putt putt golf range and hosts an egg hunt every year for all the kids at church.
Last year Sydney was slow to catch on, but this year she was on it.
triumphant having found all 12 of her eggs

Enjoying her spoils with buddies William and Weston

GG was content just to crawl around and try to eat dandelions
Sydney really got into the candy this year and was on a total sugar high
Maybe thats why she was being so goofy here
We also had an Egg hunt with all the kids in our neighborhood
Our kids are not into posing for pics

Look at this ham.

Grace update

GG was being so cute at bath time, I'm so glad she's such a happy girl.Grace is growing so fast. I can't believe she will be one next month! She still only has one tooth, but she has tons of hair and some great tricks. She took her first steps last week and loves to walk around the house and neighborhood pushing her walking toy. She waves and claps, kisses and if you're lucky, she'll show you where her nose is.

What we've been up to

I feel like people keep asking me what we've been up to and I have nothing to say. We haven't been doing anything spectacular, but we have been having fun on lots of little outings.
Happy Campers, GG wakes up happy on her 2nd family camp out.

Dancing to the music at the farmers market while munching on a stalk of broccoli (magical things happen at the farmers market).
I got to go home solo for a big Prina party. Both Matt and Rob home from their missions and my Mom's 60th birthday. My sister Lisa compiled a beautiful book about my mothers life with lots of pictures and stories written by each of us kids, it was beautiful. This is a pic of my mom opening her gifts and pouring over the book. I love it because none of them were looking, but it shows the fun and the chaos.
Matt&Rob, still looking a lot like elders, with two of my nieces Audrey and Anna.
My last stop on my way out was to see the newest additions to the Johnson family. Here is Dan holding his sweet new daughters.
