Easter!

Ahhh, the dying of the eggs.

Harper!  She prefers to go shirtless and to accessorize her hair herself.

Easter morning fun times.

Easter puppy.

Yum!  Candy!

Easter portrait, minus Harper, who refused to participate.

Harper loved playing in the dirt and Jaime and Tyler's.  LOVED it.  This was the perfect place for the great Easter egg hunt of 2012...

Waiting for the big Easter egg hunt to begin!  So exciting!

The egg hunt for the little ones begins!

Yay!  It didn't take Harper long to get the hang of this.  BUT, she didn't figure out that there was stuff IN the eggs until much later.

Maybe the most precious photo of Harper ever?

Getting ready for the big kids' egg hunt...  Everyone was after the big money!

And here, Harper discovers what is inside the eggs!

Porter and Finn.

Jake made me this teeny boquet.  Awwwwww!

We took this picture to send to Grandma and Grandpa of the cousins.  Just missing Jesse and Brookes!

Here is Finn, rocking some complete strangers!  Go, Finn!

An afternoon at the park with the Kirby girls!  

Nerding out on Gameboys...

Spring Pump Track and Cousin Time

We have the good fortune of being friends with an amazing family:  Kirk, Becky, Audrie and Claire Earl.  Jason and Kirk used to work together, bonded over bikes, and we've been friends ever since.  Jason covets Kirk's totally sweet pump track endlessly, and the Earls are generous enough to host our family for an occasional hot dog roast and pump track ride.  We love them!

Here's everyone getting warmed up.

Jason and Kirk enjoy the Karate Monkey.

Harper and Audrie on the trampoline.

This is the stunning view from their backyard.  And here are the kids crossing the railroad tracks over to the swamp for an adventure.

Audrie!

Cache Valley in the spring is about as good as it gets anywhere, I'm pretty sure.

Wheeeee!

This is the kids when they were still dry.  And clean.

This is where they got into trouble.

This is Gabrielle after she pulled Owen's shoe from the muck.

This is Bennett protecting his precious Vans.

And here are some cuties.

Owen's rescued shoe.

Jacob's socks.

He was pretty disgusted.  And cold.

Alexandra on the pump track.

Becky, Claire and marshmallowy Audrie.

Yummy.

Oh, Finn.  You are too cute.

A little bit of heaven.

The yard was littered with bikes!

Bennett's night ride.

I love these photos!

Jason takes a run.

I think I forgot to mention that Gabrielle and Alexandra were staying with us for the weekend.  Bennett's dream of hanging out with his cousins came true.  We love these girls!
