Peter Cotton Tail came hopping down our bunny trail

 
One day we will finally get a quality family picture, but until this one will have to do! I am not too sure why Cailey will not smile or even look at the camera, but it is what it is...
We had a fabulous Easter, as every year we do! We went to Blackfoot and enjoyed the weekend. It is always nice to get away for a while and we just love to see our family.
We got to Blackfoot Friday night, finally a trip with no puking!!! We woke up on Saturday to snow...Now I am a very invovled mommy and try to do as much as possible with my kids, but this mommy was not going to attempt the annual Easter egg hunt in this...
Yes snow in April...YUCK!!! We skipped the Easter egg hunt and dyed eggs at the house. Cayden was not interested in helping at all. Cailey loved it though.
That night we were there to celebrate my sister-in-laws 20th birthday. We have never been there for it so it was a nice treat to be there :)
The following morning the Easter bunny came. Cailey was very excited about the eggs he hid and didn't care about her basket to much. *Note to self...don't go overboard on the basket goodies!
Cailey got a pair of flip-flops, a couple of summer outfits, swimsuit, fishing pole, and a hula hoop for your ankle that you jump over (not too sure what it is called)
Cayden was tired from going to bed too late the night before and slept in another hour after Cailey woke up. So Cailey had to rehide the eggs for Cayden to find. He loved his Easter basket.
He got a pair of irrigation boots to wear outside, a couple of summer outfits, a fishing pole, and a new rope to help rope the cows like daddy to drag behind him and hit his sister with.
Later that day we went to Cody's grandparents' house for Easter dinner. the weather cooperated very nicely with us and allowed an outside Easter egg hunt. The kids were so funny this year. Cailey would put the "boy" colors into Cayden's basket and Cayden would put the "girl" colors into Cailey's basket. If they could only get along like that always.

Gotta love the hat! His Pappa Rocky gave it to him and he loves wearing it. I think he looks like an old farmer.
Here are some odd and ends that I fell in love with.

Look how serious all their faces are! The kids loved "playing" the WII. They never really did, but boy they sure thought they were doing someting big. I am thinking maybe Santa needs to bring us one!!!

Cute pics! I just had to tell you that Chayse was way more interested in the hidden eggs too! In fact she ran right to her basket dumped everything out (without even looking at it) and ran to find all the hidden eggs... Crea and Chloe weren't very happy that they didn't get to find many :) Crazy kids!
