Easter Extravaganza

Last weekend our church had an Easter eggg hunt and bbq. Porter hada great time and it was such nice weather. He got about 8 eggs, which was great because last year he only got 3.

On the Saturday before Easter, the neighbors had a blcok party and did and egg hunt too. Porter loved it. However, he is usually shoving the candy from the eggs in his mouth as fast as he can find them.

These last few days I have tried to really cherish the time I've had with my family. Though Porter was sick and we didn't get to go to all the things that I had planned, we got to be together as a family. We spent time together, we played and we just enjoyed being with each other. Honestly, knowing that I start school and so much of my family time will be limited starting tomorrow, is really scary. But, I know this is the path that Heavenly Father has sent me down and I know that it will bless me and my family.

Here are a few more pictures of my cute kids.

Easter Eve

To prepare for the Easter Extravaganza, we dyed our eggs. Unlike last year, Porter did NOT drink the egg coloring water. I was so proud of him. It was a real temptation, but he was so big and overcame his deep dye drinking desires.

As you can see. This egg dyeing is very serious business.
On the other hand, we had to do something to keep Mr. Bryson busy. When he is bored, he screams like a very loud parakeet. So, I gave him an oreo cookie. Yes, that is his new favorite thing!

I don't know why his pictures don't come out as well as Porter's. I think it is because he doesn't hold still so the camera takes a little more grainy quality. But, I am just grateful to have a camera that works (thanks mom!).

The Best Laid Plans of Mice & Men

Well, so much for a fun weekend. I took off Thursday and Friday so that we could spend a nice long weekend together as a family before starting school on Monday. We were going to go to the zoo, the Ogden Children's Treehouse, a movie, and take some family pictures.
So much for all that. It looks like Porter has Roseola. Here are a couple of pictures of his rash. Fortunately, it's not a serious condition.
