Easter Weekend!!!

What a beautiful time of year to celebrate the resurrection. Our Savior died for us that we might live again. We can see examples of new birth with life all around us as we watch the beginnings of spring. As we celebrate this weekend with family I can't help but reflect on eternal families.

Look at sweet Cashlee. The joy she brings into our home is unmeasurable!!!
Easter egg hunt in town. The kids had a blast. Don't ya just love Chase's Raccoon Hat?

Sydnee is a good Easter Egg hunter!!

My family came from up North to spend the day. We colored eggs and did an egg hunt here at home. The kids had a blast. It was such a beautiful day.

Cousin Ellie looking for eggs!

Cousin Jaicee

Chase, Sydnee, and TyLee playing on the deck.

Cousin Brylee is all smiles. She was having a blast.

Grandpa and cousin Preston. Preston was loving Kuckles. I don't think Grandpa was!!

Coloring Eggs!

So much fun with the cousins.

Once again all smiles from Miss Cashlee!!

Easter Sunday was a perfect day!! In fact we have late church and it was all I could do to keep them clean. They just wanted to play outside.

Ready for church!!

Easter dresses. They were so pretty.

We are so blessed to have these three beautiful children. They bring so much joy into our lives!!

Courtney turned 30!!

Chase wanted to get into Cashlee's tub. Then when I came back from getting her dressed I found him with his water boots in the tub. The things kids think of!!

Dandy is going to have kittens. So the kids were trying to feel her babies move. Once again who could not resist taking a snap shot of this.

Chase was pushing Cashlee in the stroller.

Chase is painting his bird house. His favorite color is blue. He was concentrating so hard.

Look at that smile!! It must have been the big flower!!

Cashlee is quite the jumper. She gets a going in it and makes us all laugh.

I thought she looked like she was praying.

Her smile is so irresistible!!

Blowing out Courtney's candles. I guess with thirty you need the extra help.

We are so thankful for the old man in the family. HA HA HA!!! He wasn't to excited about this day but the kids thought it was great. They were excited to blow out candles with Dad and go out to lunch. That made the day better for their poor old Dad. We love you Court!!

Taking a nap.....

I don't know what it is with the cat loving to nap with Chase. I had to get a picture then I remember one a year ago when we got our kitten. Look how cute is this...Chase loves his cat.

Birthday Boy Turns 3!!

Chase really got into opening presents. I think his favorite was the gun from Lindsay!!

One candle at a time and check out his technique. We laughed so hard at his pucker!!

He wanted a gun cake. Imagine that! Our little hunter!!

We frosted cupcakes at lunch time with his friend.

His friend Tate came and played and this was one of the activities they did!!

Of course Sydnee had a friend to.

Chase opening his present from Tate!!

Spoiled boy got a special breakfast.

It was a great day. Grandma and Grandpa Smith, Lindsay, and Brooke came up for dinner, cake and ice cream. Chase was quite the character. He also had a blast playing with his friend during the day. They were all so full of energy. We are so proud of our 3 year old. We love him so much!!
