Four Wheeling Slideshow

Four Wheeling on Easter

We went four wheeling Easter afternoon with our friends Jeff and Shawna near Radersburg. It was a nice day. The sun was out and it was not too windy. Tyler and Garrett rode with Justin because they do not like to ride with their mom. I am just a little too slow and not as wild as their dad is. The place we went riding had lots of little hills to go up and down. There were some jumps also. Most of the trails were dry but there were a few mud puddles. Justin would go through the mud puddles on purpose just to make Tyler and Garrett laugh. The more mud there was, the more the boys would laugh. Jeff would drive through the mud when Justin was going through just to make more of a mess. Jeff and Justin like to kick up mud at each other. I think this is a guy thing. Shawn would go through the puddle and Jeff would drive past her at a faster speed and soak her with mud. Needless to say, by the time we loaded up the four wheelers to come home for Easter dinner, most everyone was covered with mud. I was the cleanest. I went through the mud but not as deep of puddles and the guys did. The boys loved their ride. The sunshine, fresh air, and playing on the four wheelers tired Tyler and Garrett out. They were asleep within five minutes of the drive home. They were probable dreaming of the next time they go out four wheeling. :)

Easter Morning

Happy Easter! We had a very nice Easter morning. The boys woke up, had baths, got dressed then went outside to find their Easter baskets and the eggs the Easter bunny had hid for them. Tyler and Garrett had fun finding eggs. We did have some hurt feelings though. Tyler and Garrett would find the same egg and Tyler would pick it up so Garrett would cry. He did not cry for very long. He is very good at crying till he gets what he wants, then he stops immediately.

Tyler found his Easter basket by the red four wheeler. Then he helped Garrett find his basket under the deck. The Easter bunny gave both Tyler and Garrett a Buzz Lightyear. They were very excited. They both played with their Buzz Lightyear toy all day.

After Tyler and Garrett had found their eggs, they came in and had pictures taken and played before going to church. They also ate some candy. After church we came home, changed clothes, and went on a four wheeler ride.

We hope everyone had as nice as an Easter as we did!

Bunk Beds

On Saturday night, Justin set up the boys' bunk beds. Grandpa Bill promised Tyler on Saturday that he could sleep in his bunk bed that night. Tyler helped Grandpa Bill clean on Saturday then after he dyed Easter eggs, he helped his dad put his bed up. Tyler has slept in the top bunk for the past two nights. Garrett slept in the bottom bunk last night. Both boys love their beds! Tyler will make sure he makes his bed after he gets up. Both boys have perma grins on their faces about their new beds!

Coloring Easter Eggs

On Saturday night, we spent the evening dying Easter eggs. We had Tyler and Garrett take off their shirts in a preventative measure to save their clothes. Then the boys sat at the table. They had 15 eggs each to dye. Tyler liked using all of the colors. Garrett liked yellow. He did not like to share the yellow with his brother. After the eggs were all colored, Justin helped them put Spiderman stickers on the eggs. We had cool Spiderman colored eggs for Easter morning.

Stepping Stones

While were were in Salt Lake, all of the grandkids made stepping stones for Grandma Kathy's yard. Tyler and Garrett made a blue stone and put their hand prints in it. After the hand prints, we stamped their names in it. The boys really enjoyed adding the jeweled colored stones. Everyone's stone turned out really cute!

Kama's Birthday Cake

Today, April 8, is my birthday! Justin and the boys made me a chocolate birthday cake with chocolate frosting. The boys wore their very cute "Cars" aprons Grandma Kathy made them while they helped. I am so proud of my boys and their baking talents. Justin made sure to put 35 candles on the cake. We had to have Tyler and Garrett hold still because they were jumping by the cake and would put the candles out as we were lighting them. After everyone sang "Happy Birthday" the boys actually let mom blow out the candles on the cake. I was able to get all the candles out on one turn. Afterwards, everyone had a piece of delicous cake. Thank you Justin, Tyler, and Garrett! I love you tons! :)
