Happy Easter

Happy Easter.

All the kids in their Easter best.  This picture was prior to the egg hunt so you can see how excited all of them are to be in the picture.

No I am not falling into Brian, one of the kids just took this picture on an angle because the camera was too heavy for them to hold up.

Eliza count her eggs.

Happy birthday to me

I had another birthday, it seems like these come up more often the older I get.

We had a great day full of soccer and hanging out together as a family.

Brian bought me a new dress.

So I let him be in my birthday pictures.

 For General Conference even more cousins and cousins of cousins showed up.

We all invaded David and Leslie's house.

The party continues.

Dan, Lexie and family came down to drive Papa back to Utah.

So they came for a visit while Dawne was here for spring break.

That means a whole lot of cousins and of course good food when Dan is present.

Check out this cute, blue-eyed cousins. 

Phelps and Eliza were great friends.

Spring break in Jupiter

For spring break, Dawne and family came to visit. 

We headed to Jupiter to visit an old friend, Janice and her kids.

Picking Strawberries

 On Saturday we went to pick strawberries with the whole family.

 Sweet Eliza with her berries.

 Grace racing to all the good berries.

Jacob the master berry picker, too bad he doesn't even like them.

 Merry was the prolific picker, she won the berry picking contest.

 Adam wanted to try the camera so I let him take pictures of me.

Relaxing in the shade.

Afterwards we made a couple batches of strawberry jam before Adam and Grace downed all the strawberries.
