Easter Sunday

We woke up Easter Sunday and found a trail of Easter eggs left by the Easter Bunny.  McKay and Logan grabbed a basket and set off...

Here's the sleepy, cold, excited smile

Logan actually got the hang of put the eggs in the basket.  McKay had to open each egg first to see what candy was in it!

The Easter bunny left each of the boys a new book and sandbox toys.  Here's McKay showing off his new Star Wars books.

 

Logan with his find!

Happy Easter Boys!

I love Springtime!  I am so grateful for this Easter time that we have to reflect on our Savior- his life and his resurrection.  What a great knowledge we have to know that there is life after this life because of our Savior.  Doesn't that just make you happy?

Matt, Logan, McKay, and Great-Grandpa Wright

We went over and spent Sunday afternoon with Matt's family.  His grandparents are getting pretty old so it is nice to spend time with them and let the boys get to know them.  We have been blessed with great family.  We had a great Easter spending time with our family!

Rowley Easter Egg Hunt

Every Saturday before Easter we have the annual Rowley Sack Hunt.  This is probably my favorite Easter tradition!  It is always fun to get together with everyone and hike through the sagebrush to find your bag.  The boys had a blast and McKay insisted on hiking to the top of the mountain- he loved it!

Katelyn won this set of balls for her prize, but Logan wasn't giving them up easily!  He loves his balls!

Decorating Easter Eggs

Mom & Dad- this is for you:

Growing up we never really did the whole decorate Easter eggs.  Okay Mom you are probably saying yes we did, but that was with your other children...Katelyn and I never did it!  Anyways, so last year we decorated eggs with my family for my first time and it was a blast.  Last week when I said we were going to decorate eggs, McKay said, "but Grandma and Grandpa aren't here."  I told him we would take lots of pictures to send to them so here you go Mom-

While I was getting everything ready McKay drew you a spider in a spider's web on his chalkboard.

Happy Easter Grandma & Grandpa

Logan just really wanted to make a mess with the dye...finally one egg cracked so I put him in his high chair and gave him the egg to see if he would eat it.  He didn't eat it, but he sure smooshed it pretty good.

 

The finished product.  I'd say we did pretty good!

Saturday at the Park

Katelyn, Steve, and Marisa  were all down one Saturday so we decided to hit the park.  Our favorite park is in Payson and has a walking trail along a little stream with 3 playgrounds along the way.  There is a tunnel to go under the main road so McKay calls it the Tunnel Park.  Out of the 3 playgrounds, guess where the boys spent almost our whole time?  Throwing rocks in the water!  We should have just went down to the canal...

Throwing rocks in the water

Logan loves piggy back rides-- mostly because he can eat my hair...

McKay and his ball (we went to the park again today and I forgot to grab the ball...bad mistake!)

Logan and Uncle Steve throwing rocks.  Logan would have to clap after every throw- it was cute.  The boys love Steve (or Uncle Steven as McKay lovingly calls him) and he is a good sport to put up with all they put him through!  Thanks Steve!!

It's Spring!

Spring has finally come and the boys are loving life.  Every morning McKay asks when we are going out to the sandbox.  He would live in there if I would let him!  Logan loves it too so we spend at least a couple hours each day out in the sand.

 

The boys and their dirt

Matt dug out the kite and he and Logan had a blast flying McQueen!
