Easter, Family Visits, Get-togethers, and Haircuts

I have a lot of catching up to do! The end of March turned out lovely. Fun family and fun baby.

I finally captured the fish face!!!

Xi's six little teeth he's had since eight months.

Messy Banana Face!

New Smile with Missing Tooth

Tyson's split head and staples, a result of playing doubles racquetball.

The last week of March Tyson's parents came for his Dad's spring break, which is when the double racquetball occurred. Wednesday that week the kids and I drove up to Montana with Ty's parents and sisters to visit his Grandparents. We had fun hot tubbing, exploring the mountain, dyeing Easter Eggs, going on Easter Egg hunts, movies for the kids and a grand piano overlooking the entire city for me.

Hiking with the Aunties:

 

The next day: Xi demanding breakfast

Mickey Mouse waffles--Just because ;)

More hot tubbing:

Xi loves the water, if you can't tell by all his splashing photos!

 

Easter Egg Madness

The final results in Montana

 
Just before leaving Montana I noticed this HORRIBLE hair trim given to Xandir by unauthorized person(s). Can you see that ugly lock cut over his ear? Ahem. You know who you are!!!

The fun group

After getting back from Montana Friday night, we awoke early Saturday morning to make it to one of three Easter Egg Hunts. The first one at the park was completely lame. The second one at the grocery store was super fun! And the third one my aunt hosted at her home with my cousin and her kids. I had to leave early for a baby shower.

Xandir gets his first REAL haircut the Eve of Easter.

Easter goodies, largely supplied by three different grandma's. I may have added some of my favorite candy to the baskets.

 Easter Family Photos:

Our fourth Easter Egg hunt of the season at Greg and Nancy's. Sierra and Greg just hid the empty eggs over and over again. The kids still play "Egg Hunt" with each other.


 The night of Easter, my Best Friend Tiff came up for a visit! FINALLY!!! We had tons of fun talking for hours, going to the Temple, eating delish food, and playing games. (None of those things are pictured. This is our outdoor FHE lesson.)

The first camping adventure. The snow FINALLY melted out of our backyard the day before Conference and Tyson had to take advantage of it, talking Amri and Jeffrey into joining him.

 Our kids got to play with some very fun second cousins during Conference weekend:

After-Conference party with Tyson's physic lab friends. . .and some neighbors. . .and maybe some family.

Amri's become obssessed with this dress and now wears it EVERY DAY, as soon as she gets up, if you can't tell ;)

 Tyson got his staples out this week:

 And we went to Utah! To visit Grandma and go to a wedding. The kids were very excited. They packed their backpacks (Jeffrey on his own, the others with help) and wore them for hours before it was time to go.

Jeffrey's "excited" face.

Siblings at the wedding

The happy bride and groom! I've never seen a groom grin so much during a marriage ceremony. They are both so blessed to have found each other!

Dancing! One of the funnest receptions ever attended!
