More Easter Pictures!

Here are more of our Easter pictures. They are in random order because I hate rearranging them :). We took lots and lots this year. We had a fun-filled weekend. It all started Friday. We headed up to Davis County for the inspection of our soon-to-be new house and stayed for the evening with Grandma and Grandpa Lloyd. We had a picnic on their lawn for dinner and then Grandma and Carter made Easter sugar cookies. Saturday morning we went to an Easter egg hunt with some of our playgroup friends (thanks to Jen for planning it). Saturday evening we colored Easter eggs. Carter loved this, Rylee just wanted to drink the dye :)!! Then Sunday morning the kids discovered their Easter baskets and after church we headed to Aunt Erika and Uncle Mark's house for Easter dinner and another egg hunt (courtesy of G & G Lloyd) with some of Ryan's side of the family. I had a hard time getting Carter to understand the true meaning of Easter, but I tried, maybe next year?!

These are pictures from our Easter Egg Hunt we did with our playgroup friends. It was FREEZING, but the kids had fun anyway! Rylee's little bottom lip was shivering the whole time. There are more pictures to come!!!

Change is good right??

Hey all! Just an update on the house situation. We "went under contract" on our condo last Friday. If all goes well (keep your fingers crossed), we will close on April 28th!! This means that we had to find a house within a week in order to have somewhere to go. Monday we headed up to Davis County and looked at 3 houses. The first one was ok, the third one was NOT ok, and the second one was "THE ONE"-- well at least we hope it is. We are waiting to hear if they have accepted our offer if they do, we will close on the new house on April 29th and we will be moved by the first of May! Are we excited? YES! Are we sad? YES! I've yet to figure out how to deal with having these two emotions at the same time, but we'll work through it and learn to love our new house, ward, neighborhood as much as we love this house, ward, neighborhood. Change is good, or at least that's what I keep telling myself :)!!!
