easter morning

happy easter!

 sweet pajama's:)

easter breakfast

 my super dark pictures of my kids in easter clothes.

my favorite little boys.

 these ladies are looking a little too grown up for my liking.

easter eggs

it felt like easter snuck up on us this year.   some how we need to figure out how to handle the craziness that comes during volleyball season at this house.  

on the saturday before easter, we finally pulled out the easter stuff and got to work.  when you have boys coloring easter eggs, it seems to go really fast.   these boys had their eggs done three times as fast as the girls.  most of coops's unfortunately were cracked in the coloring process, that boy has no gentle genes.

 our finished product:)

grandpa lindberg

our trip would not be complete without grandpa lindberg riding down the sled hill.  he does this every year, never using a sled, always sitting on the end of a big snow shovel.  

seriously one of the funniest grandpa's i have ever met.

grandpa's tractor

grandpa loves to give the boys tractor rides.  carson was so interested in how the bucket worked, grandpa showed him how he scoops the snow and dumps it on the snow pile. 

we sure love this sweet great grandpa.

peanut party

just taking a minute to have a snack.  these guys love peanuts, and i love that they are eating them outside and not inside the house.  coop loves to crack the shells and get the peanuts out, but makes a horrible mess in the process.  i love when he finds a really long one, (one that holds three peanuts) he gets really excited because he found the "jackpot peanut."

star valley...part one

each year for presidents day, we head to star valley for a little winter fun.  we love to go visit grandpa lindberg, my boys are infatuated with life on a farm.  grandpa always uses the tractor to push the snow into a big hill for the kids to sled on.

carson hanging out on grandpa's hill

it was such a beautiful day, so bright and sunny my kids couldn't keep their eyes open for a picture.

this boy is in absolute heaven.  one of his favorite places to visit.

grandpa and carson trying to get the last snowmobile started.

love when my girls decide they can actually be friends:)

this boy loves the snow, he would play outside for hours if he never got cold.

such a beautiful place to spend a weekend.
