Happy Easter!

   I know Easter was nearly a whole week ago but here's a few highlights from ours.  Just a simple Easter Egg hunt in the backyard but the kids were thrilled, especially with the "Pass of All Passes" for each of them.

All ready with their baskets.

Brock was a little distracted with what was actually in each egg.

Carter wasted no time collecting all and more then he needed.  (Look how involved Greg is, NOT!  That's ok, a nice garden is a worthwhile activity too.)

Mark found all he needed.

And McClane did well but needed a lot of help from big Sis!

Isaac made out pretty great as well.

He needed a break from all the running around Kayli was doing.

Looks like enough eggs/candy to me.

All done, now it's time to find the real prize in one of their eggs.

    So after they found out they'd each got a "pass of all passes" they of course wanted to get to Trafalga fun center as soon as possible so here's a shot or two of that little adventure.

Here's Brock on the airplane ride.

And Mark got a shot at the one and only go-cart they had running that day.

   Just in case you're wondering a "Pass of All Passes" is a ticket into three different fun centers in the Utah Valley area, access to two water parks nearby, ice skating and several sporting events.  These passes are totally worth the $30 dollars each we paid for them.  Unfortunately they sold so many that the places are generally pretty crowded but over all the kids love it and it'll be a great place to spend our time throughout the whole next year.  There's even fun stuff for McClane who is absolutely free, bonus!! 
    This week was also our Spring Break and it was pretty nice.  I actually got the kids to do a chore or two each day and one of those chores was washing all the windows inside and out and miraculously Mark did this without much complaining and I only had to do a little minor backup cleaning after he was done.  And Kayli actually spent some time nearly every day going through her closet and discarding a few items.  Obviously I would have found a few more things to donate but she did pretty good considering her "hoarding" tendencies.
    And to end my week Greg let me talk him into seeing "The Hunger Games" with me which was great and he's actually looking forward to seeing the next one.  I told him he could read the books right now to find out what happens but apparently that's not as appealing as a movie.
    So that's our week in a nutshell.  Now on to birthdays, and a little help moving my sister half way across the world.  (Which will not be fun but I'll help anyway.)
