Mass Daylily exodus

Papa has been in Florida all winter growing daylilies, now it is time for the daylilies and Papa to migrate back to Utah.  Here is Papa explaining his complex sorting system.

Merry with some of the blooms.

Jacob moving the daylilies to traveling trays.

April

The lovely ladies after church. 

My favorite part of this picture is Adam's face.

Photo bomb.

Easter finery a week late.

 As general conference was on Easter Sunday we didn't wear our Easter finery.

 All the ladies.

 Poor Eliza will have to wear this ugly fabric 3 times.  

One more of the girls.

Pinewood derby

 Happy pinewood derby.

 Jacob's last car as he will graduate from Cub scouts this year.

You can tell he put a lot of effort into the design.

It did not seem to matter though, he place 1st place out of 17 cars and won the award for "best flying brick" car.

 It was definitely the duct tape that made the car.

Eliza enjoying the racing festivities.

I don't think Adam even noticed that there was a race going on as he was too engrossed in his game.

Merry and Grace cheered for Jacob though, in their matching outfits.

Happy Birthday

One year older and wiser too.

Happy Easter

 Easter morning craziness.

 Eliza found a few eggs and then she got tired of hunting so she sat down to find out what was inside.

The Easter Bunny stuffed some eggs with pistachios for Eliza as they are one of her favorite treats.

Adam counting his eggs.

 Is this real gold?

 Only plastic how sad.

Merry will her bountiful basket.

Jacob found the most eggs.  Mostly because he helped the easter bunny stuff and hide the eggs.

The end of Easter Morning madness.

Egg Dying party

Egg dying madness.

This is after Adam spilled the purple dye,  Merry spilled the red and Eliza spilled the blue.

Adam took the brunt of the spill so he had to take a bath.  

Fortunately I had an extra pack of dye so that we could make replacement colors.

Adam's finished product. 

The battle wound on his face is from a battle with Eliza.

I am one brave person.

Eliza is convinced that she is as capable as the other kids.

Grace's bunny egg.

Concentration 

 

Merry's crazy haired egg.

Best buddies.  When I have to discipline Eliza, she tattles on me to Jacob.
