Getting ready for Easter

We have had an exciting week getting ready for Easter. We dyed eggs earlier this week, which was great except for every time you open the refrigerator it reeks like rotten eggs. I decided to do the good tasks bean jar again, and it worked like magic. I told the kids that whenever they do nice things, chores or are being good they can put beans in the jar. If they fill it up the Easter bunny will take the beans and replace them with jelly beans. Worked like a charm. One of my girlfriends put together an Easter egg hunt at her home on Friday and had fun activities for the kids to do. They had such a great time and I took plenty of picks so enjoy!!


Here is a group picture of all of the kids at the Easter egg hunt. Cayden, Sandon, Raleigh, Sidney, Isaiah, Noah, and Zack. Cute kids!!!

The kids frosted and decorated sugar cookies after their egg hunt.
Good job on your cookie Sandon!


The kids received packages on the same day from both of their Grandmas! They were so excited to open them and devour the contents inside. Thanks Grandma Richie and Grandma Keiko.

Our final product, what do you think?

Bend a what, Bend a who, BendaRoos!

While Doug was down in Vegas a couple weeks ago for a trade show for work, he stumbled upon these Bendaroos. I'm sure you've probably heard the commercial on T.V. Every time Sandon would hear that commercial he would tell us to come quick and look and that he really wanted to get them. Doug picked them up in Vegas for $10. The kids absolutely love playing with these. Mom has gotten into it too. They really are a lot of fun and you can twist them into anything and play with them over and over again. Great idea!!
