Easter Egg Hunt

On Monday, one of my friends organized an Easter egg hunt for the little kids not in school. It was a beautiful day to be outside for an egg hunt. We started with a snack lunch (everyone brought a treat to share) and then the kids got to find 12 eggs each. After all the eggs were found, the kids played at the park and the moms sat and enjoyed the sunshine and conversation!

Most of our group of kiddos.

He was really excited about his egg until he looked at it and saw that it had princesses on it!

Easter Best

 

 We have 1:00 church on Sundays. Yesterday as an activity to keep the boys from fighting, we did a little Easter egg hunt before church. In one of each of their eggs (they each had a different color of egg they were supposed to find), was their Easter tie. Since Easter is also on the same Sunday as General Conference, they wore them yesterday, and of course, I made them go outside and take some pictures!

 

My handsome boys!

 

 

 Here are a few other pictures from the last week:

Britt and Paige came over for a bit while their mom and dad had to run to Powell. Landon and Britt had a good time playing pirates on the play set together. They were so funny to listen to as they spoke in "pirate"!

Last week, the guy that we hired to do the electricity in our basement started working on it. He enlisted Christian to help him out by drilling holes and then pulling wires through them. Between the two nights that he worked, we were able to get all the can lights put up and wire pulled to them. We actually have 4 working can lights in the laundry room! I didn't know I could be so excited about light! The electrician will be back again Tuesday night to work on it some more!

We have had amazing spring weather and it was nice enough for the boys to wear shorts the other day. Landon wore a new pair of shorts and shirt and wanted me to take a picture of him. This is what he gave me to take a picture of! Silly boy!

Grandpa and grandma Foulger came to visit us on Saturday. When they went to leave, the boys were quick to give grandpa Foulger a group hug!

Travis' Special day

Today was Travis' special day at school. Landon, Christian, Grandma Asay and I got to enjoy a 20 minute presentation all about Travis. He started by going through his all about me poster. It included information like his favorite color, food, thing to do at home, interesting facts and such. Next, I read a paper that Christian and I wrote about what why we think Travis is special, followed by Mrs. Bush's reasons why she thinks Travis is special.

After I read why Travis is special.

Why Mrs. Bush thinks Travis is special.

 Travis then got to show some of his things that are special to him. He brought his wooden sword we brought him back from Costa Rica, his leap pad, wrestling head gear and medal, and his Kid Bopz cd he loves to listen to.

After his little show and tell, each class member told one thing they thought why Travis was special.

One of his classmates telling us that Travis is special because he taught her how to play basketball when she didn't know how to.

 Next, Travis got to read about his adventures with the classroom bunny that he got to have over the weekend. They were supposed to do something fun with the bunny and then write about it and draw a picture. Travis took a nap with the bunny (we disinfected it after finding out that he had strep) and then took it out to grandpa and grandma Asay's house to meet the baby goats.

 Mrs. Bush gave him some bubbles and a star sucker for being special!

Also as part of his special day, he got to bring a special treat to share with the class. He wanted to bring oreos and milk, so his class got to enjoy them for treats later in the day! Travis, you sure are a special dude and we love you and are so glad that you are part of our family!

Pup Wrestling 2015

Last night was the pup wrestling tournament. After two weeks of learning and practicing, the boys got to show off what they had learned. Carson and Travis were both really looking forward to getting to wrestle. Sadly, Travis got sick Thursday night and wasn't able to wrestle! He was heart broken and in tears when he realized that he wasn't going to be able to wrestle. He felt a little better when he heard that two of his good friends were sick also and weren't going to be wrestling either.

 

Carson did really well and only lost one match. He wrestled 7 times and was super tired by the time the night was over. He started the night having to wrestle a girl, which was his fear going that night because she was one of just a few kids around his height and weight. I was super nervous for him having to do it and just wanted him to win and be done with her (I know that sounds bad, but it was the truth).

Here he is wrestling the girl.

Poor Travis. This is how he spent the day he was sick and had to miss wrestling. We took him to the Dr. today and found out that he has strep. He is on antibiotics now and seems to be starting to feel better.
