Happy Easter Y'all

Easter this year was wonderful. Unfortunately, Josh ate something that made him really sick that morning, so he really missed out. Such a bummer. But we had a great day despite his sickness. 

We got up and headed to church. The girls looked adorable. After church, Morgan and Jenn came over. We had a big Easter lunch with everyone. It was delicious. Laurie handled the whole thing and it was so yummy. Papa Max and Gwen were there as well. After lunch we spent some time outside with Morgan and Jenn's baby chicks. They're so cute. We even stuffed some eggs and did a hunt for the kiddos. They loved it. The eggs were all over the place and pretty hard to find. It was a lot of fun. And overall, a great Easter day! 

Easter bunny goodies! Don't be deceived, these baskets were TINY! hahaha.

See how small they are? Haha!

Dying Eggs

This year we dyed eggs with my dad and his wife. They were in town to go to the temple and stopped in for a couple hours. We decided to dye eggs while they were here. It was fun! Piper was the cutest. She grabbed egg after egg, squealing and trying to smash the eggs on the table and toss them into the bowls of dye. What a mess! But so stinking cute. 

Bonfire FHE

Last week for FHE we had a bonfire in the backyard. Josh left his previous job recently after feeling overworked and underappreciated. Since we needed something to burn for our fire, we might have used some of his previous work uniforms . . . haha. It was a fun night! After the fire died down a bit, we roasted some marshmallows. The girls loved them!

Piper goes to nursery

Our tiny little Piper girl is in nursery! Which means she's 18 months old! I can't believe it. 

Her first day of nursery was a total success. She walked right in and toddled off to play with toys. I tried to get a good picture of her but she was too distracted. She loved it! We're so proud of her. 

Here's some more about Piper Gray at 18 months.

• She has four teeth. Two center top ones and two center bottom ones.
• She babbles all day long. Seriously, she's gonna be a talker. 
• She says about 20 words, with surprisingly good pronunciation.
• She weighs in a whopping 29 lbs.
• Shes 75th-80th% all the way around.
• She walks and runs all over the place.
• She absolutely loves music. You can always find her dancing or singing some little tune to herself. 
• She adores mommy and daddy. It just depends on the day.
• She is roughed up pretty bad by her big sister but she is starting to learn to defend herself.
• She eats pretty much anything, even with only 4 teeth.
• She loves to sleep and will ask for her blanket when she's tired.

We love you Piper Gray! 

Easter Egg Hung #1

The week before Easter, Elliott's neighbor/church friend, Anne Tatum, had a little Easter get together at her house. We brought a sack lunch and played in the backyard. It was a beautiful day. After we ate we hid some eggs for the kids and let them do a little Easter egg hunt. They loved it and did great. After the hunt, we ate some yummy snacks and then headed home! It was a fun day!

Piper's Haircut

One Sunday morning the girls were playing nicely upstairs while I got breakfast ready and prepared everything for church. I felt so on top of it because I was ahead of schedule and we have 9am church. That is no small feat. 

I wandered upstairs to get the girls dressed and stumbled upon this . . .

Thanks to Elliott our Piper girl got her first haircut. Needless to say, our calm, relaxing Sunday morning turned a bit more hectic. I might have cried a little.
