Park fun...

Playing the drums...sweet!

Kenna loved the swing!
This is not a cute picture, but this seat that I am sitting on is the craziest thing...you sit on it and it just spins you around...weird, and it makes us sick but it's fun at the same time!

There is a new park in our neighborhood...which we are super excited about! Only too bad we live at the bottom of a hill, so it is quite a ways away when you have to walk uphill with kids...so we have to drive there! We had fun though and were able to enjoy some warm weather...we went a couple of weeks ago after Josh got home from work. The kids loved it!

Kenna's cuteness...







Here are a couple of pics I took of Kenners a week ago. She wanted a graham cracker and was insitant on sitting at the table like a big girl! She is getting so big and wanting to do so many more "big girl" things!

Kenna's tubes...

That would be her I'm drugged up grin! LOL


Kenna has been having ear infections every month since November...the last ear infection took four antibiotics to clear it up. I took her to my ear doctor (convenient, eh?!)...he recommended tubes for Kenna, as did our pediatrician. On April 23 Kenna had her 10 minute surgery for them to insert the tubes. Her right ear was full of fluid...no infection, but a lot of fluid. She did great with the surgery...we were at the surgical center for less than an hour and a half. A couple hours after the surgery and you would have never known Kenna had anything done...I was amazed at how quickly she was over it (all my surgeries are much more major I guess). Before the surgery they gave her some medicine to help relax her....she was hilarious on it. She was "floppy" so I had to hold on to her tight...she would just stare and move her head in slow motion and she gave us a lot of cheesey grins. She was cracking us up! We took a couple of pics of her and she looks kind of out of it because of the med. All of the nurses thought she was so adorable and were all hanging around her. She is starting to say a lot more words now and I think it is because she can finally hear better! So, yea for tubes!

Easter fun...


Bridger LOVES his teacher...she is pretty amazing!

Easter egg hunt...didn't get any pics of Kenna because Josh had her...




Working on Kenna's puzzle she got for Easter...

We had a great Easter! I love Easter...everything about it. I love the colors associated with Easter, the flowers, everything! I especially love the true meaning of Easter...the significance of Easter is so amazing. I love knowing that because our Savior, Jesus Christ, loves us so much he was willing to die for us and to be ressurected....that is incredible. Such hope and promise it brings to our lives...knowing that we will be ressurected one day makes life so much more meaningful.

We had a Family Home Evening lesson on Easter and the Ressurection to help the kids remember what Easter is all about. In addition to that we also talked about it often. We also enjoyed listening to conference, which was amazing!
As for the "fun" side of Easter, Bridger had a cute Easter party at preschool...I went in for a few minutes and snapped a couple of pics. He got to participate in an Easter Egg hunt at preschool and did a lot of fun Easter activities. We spent Easter weekend with the Johnsons. We went up early Saturday morning for the Kaysville Easter egg hunt...it was fun, but so cold...I love doing things like that though for the kids to remember. Josh and Kenna went into the field for 0-3 and I went with Bridger into the field for 4-6. Kenna didn't really get it entirely as to what she was supposed to do, but she was excited for candy! Bridger was funny...he raced to the center of the field and ran past a bunch of eggs, and then took forever to pick up any. He fell at one point and was freaking out because he was dirty! haha He did manage to get some eggs and candy though! After the hunt we headed over to the Johnsons to watch conference and visit. For lunch we headed up to Josh's grandma's for her annual Easter party. She does an awesome job with it! We had dinner, then the kids got to hunt for treats in the back yard and she hid gifts for everyone around the house. The kiddos ended up with a bunch of candy and cute new jammies! For the rest of the evening we hung out at Johnsons and dyed Easter eggs. Easter day was fun too! The Easter bunny hid the baskets and when Bridger found his he was so excited. He got candy, movies and a fishing pole! Kenna got a princess ball (she loved it!), an automatic bubble blower, and candy. They also found eggs hidden around the house....Kenna got into this too! It was so cute!!! We enjoyed an amazing dinner and then watched afternoon conference and headed home. It was a great weekend! Oh and I didn't get a ton of Easter pics because I was filming everything instead!
