The house we rent in is a bit older and the closet in my bedroom only fits Jon's clothes. So, I put mine in Ellie's room. (Being that Jon changes in and out of clothes at all hours of the day and night) The other morning I put Ellie down for a nap and brought my clothes for the day and put them on my bed while I took a shower. I was done, in my towel, and putting on my make-up and Jon was in the bathroom brushing his teeth. Pyper came to the bathroom door with my bra at her chest and said, “Look! I have big pribits!” (Privets) Jon and I looked at each other not quite sure how we should respond, then we looked back at her and she my bra up to her eyes, brought the bra down a bit and called out, “peek-a-boo!”
Last night Jon was doing a lay out of our property/new house for the sprinkler system. I noticed a 60x65 live stalk pin. I let him know this would not be happening! So, it turned in to a family discussion on how the kids and Jon would take care of the sheep, chickens, dogs, bunnies, and all other animals desired by my husband and children. It was my family against me! It was my turn to say family prayer and I thanked God for all the animals and how we could admire them without owning them. While I was saying this I heard Pyper say, “Just one chick!” in a desperate whisper. I look up and see these big blue eyes pleading with me, and then she whispered, “And, just one bunny!”
But, Riley was rockin it!
She even used the weed wacker!
Here is Riley running for some eggs! They hid some easy for the little kids, but the big kids had to hike up the hill!

Preston feels like he is king of the Easter hunt!
The view from the top of the hill. Pyper insisted I take her up to look for more eggs.
Ellie hung out with my friend Gretchen a lot of the time.
This is Pyper in the running race for her age. She is telling me she is not going to run because she has her boots on and not her shoes. She walked the whole way.
Riley is running it!
Another fun race with the eggs on the spoons.
Riley kicked some butt at this game!
Another fun game. Here Preston is with his friend Kian.
Riley and Andrick
I played the egg tossing game with my friend Gretchen. We did pretty well!
It did happen to break on me, but I made sure and shared it with a hug!
I left the three older kids home with Jon and just took the baby. Here she is with Maddison and Scottlynn.
Also while we were in town we hung out with Grandma Patsi and the Hendrickson gang! Here we are at the Brick Oven for lunch on Saturday.
