Easter,Easter, & more Easter

What a fun Easter we had.


Me and my brother Robert rented a cabin in Payson for 4 days and took all of the 8 kids and had so much fun. This is us playing whiffle ball.
This is Sam,(Husky the dog), Emma, and my niece Courtney. We didn't know this dog. It belonged to one of the other cabins, but it liked the kids and the kids like it. They liked the dog so much that while they were making there own necklaces they made one for the dog and put it around it's neck.Love it.
This cabin was so family friendly. It had a tree house with tree swings. We had a hard time getting them off of them.
These are the DIVA'S Courtney and Sam.

This is Me and Mallory enjoying the porch swing while waiting for everyone to get back from riding the quads.
Here is what we call an Emma sandwich. If you look real close you can see Emma in between Sam and her dad. She just laughed the whole time.So while we were up there we also did a treasure hunt for the kids,then Rob,Amy, and Bret thought it would be funny to have a diet coke hunt instead of an Easter egg hunt for me. If you look close enough at the bird you will see a can of diet coke. Then we found this huge tree that had been blown down with it's roots and everything, so the kids called it the grandpa tree cause it was laying down. All it needed was the remote and it would be a spitting image of my dad. Then we found this cool stream and I had Robert take what we call a romantic shot of me and Bret(romantic cause there weren't any kids in it lol.). Luckily the Easter bunny found us and the kids did an Easter egg hunt outside and it was so fun.Yes that is my mom playing Guitar Hero on the Wii. My parents and nephew and niece came up just for a day, and we had so much fun with them. We taught my mom how to do Guitar Hero and the sad thing is she is way better than me.
AND THEN............................
We drove home,got clean and went to my mom and dads for dinner and another egg hunt. This is the kids waiting for the door to be let opened so they can go get the eggs.
I LOVE EASTER!

UHH THIS CAN'T BE GOOD!

So we had some neighbor friends come over and play in the back yard and I looked in the back yard and this is what I saw. YIKES this can't be good.
So I asked what is going on out here! I walked over and found that they had found a WORM. YUCKERS! But they thought it was so cool. So they played with it for awhile with some sticks and leaves.
Look at the size of that thing.

The Twins Pre-School Graduation!

For 4 Friday's in a row the twins got to go be apart of a child development preschool for a local high school. And so for just the 1 hour that they had them they would take them on walks and talk about rocks, trees, and a lot of dirt. Also they would talk about animals,fruits, and veggies. They so love it, and were very good students.

This was the last day for the class at the high school and so the teenage girls in the child development class did a graduation ceremony for all the 10 kids who participated. It was pure chaos, but sooooo funny. This is the twins with there hats on going to get there diploma.

Now onto the important part. They had a graduation party the last 5 minutes with cupcakes. It was the quietest that classroom had ever been. All the kids loved there cupcakes(as you can tell the twins enjoyed there's.).A big thanks to the girls at the high school.

T-BALL

Ok so this is one of the cutest things ever. Emma is on a T-ball team and has started her practices. She is on one of her good friends team and has lots of fun.
They are teaching them all the basics. When I was a kid I started T-ball when I was 5 and didn't stop playing til I was 15. My coach was Manuel and he was amazing. It seems that it was the same 12 girls on our team for like 8 years, and we thought we were the stuff. I loved it and still do. Just wish I could find a team to be on.
I think she is so good for this being her first time, but then again I am her mother. The funniest thing was she had to have pink hat,pink cleats, and her team already has pink helmets and bats. I even think they are going to have pink team shirts. How stinkin cute.We call it PINK POWER.

SKATELAND BABY!


So Samantha's class went on afield trip to "Skateland" and I was one of the volunteers. I so wanted to go and have so much fun. This is a picture of Sam skating in that famous circle(notice in the back ground all the kids who have totally biffed it-only about 20% of the 2nd graders could really skate) . The other pictures are of her and her good friend Taylor and then some more girls form her class.It was so entertaining and brought back some memories of the good ol days. The funny thing about it is I swear that the same people work there now that did when I was 8. Anyways we did the "YMCA", and the famous "Chick dance". Sam love skating with her friends. Then she decided to get her hair colored Green. Yeah-don't ask.

One of the fun things was the other volunteer moms. We had such a good time visiting(thanks Stephanie, and Devry). Sam and I really enjoyed ourselves and decided this was the best field trip. We totally rocked that skating rink.
