I'm Back!

Did you even know I was missing?! We had some computer issues, and some crazy weeks, and now I'm up and running so I can report.

When I got home from Portland we dove into spring break. I'm not going to lie. I wasn't prepared for the week at all. It was rainy. And we had nothing to do. It wasn't the best week. It ended with conference, which was nice. But just more sitting around the house.
By the end I felt like this ......I'm never staying home for spring break again. Does anyone have any suggestions for next year!??
I got my living room finished though. My red wall is no-longer. And everything is in place.
And I think the piano looks great. It's amazing how much the kids have been using it already. Digitals are definitely the way to go.
Ains also had a dance recital. She's been taking dance from a lady who teaches dance classes in her converted garage. I'm impressed with what Ainsley has learned over the past few months. Too bad her teacher is moving this month!
Her class was made up of first and second graders and they danced to "Wanna Be Like You" from the Jungle Book. Ains practiced a lot and was fantastic. She had the moves down and the personality to go along with it. It was fun to watch her do so well. We were proud parents!
Her cousin Bailey takes from the same teacher. They were both great that night.
Easter also came and went with no mention. We Eastered it up this year. We went with our friends to the annual Ball Easter Egg Hunt. The kids had fun despite the crazy wind :).
They each had a friend for the day so it was perfect.Emmie was to busy chewing on candy to smile for a picture, however.
We also got together with my family for a cousin Easter egg hunt. The kids had 125 eggs to find. it was off the hook! (Kudos to anyone who caught the Arrested Development reference).
And the evening ended with egg dyeing. Easter just wouldn't be Easter without multicolored eggs.
And we had a great Sunday as well. Ains and I sung in the ward choir for the Easter program. I think we sang 5 or 6 songs. The kids found their Easter baskets. And by this point were on serious candy overload. And the sad thing is that the candy is pretty much gone. Ains still has a bunch left. She's my little chipmunk....saving her food storage.
Emmie was adamant about having her Easter basket in her room. There was no compromising. She would not sleep unless it was with in her sight. So we let her sleep with it in her room. And this is what her pillow looked like in the morning. We're such good parents :)
