Easter and how kids sleep..

This is going to be two posts in one..

Easter & Abigail's present.

This year we didn't do any egg hunts and we didn't go to church. I think our whole family is wore out with Baseball so we just decided to meet at mom's for an afternoon lunch..
Mick and Clay got up early and went to Horseshoe Bend for the Youth Turkey Hunt. It was open to only youth hunters for 4 days. They did find some, but weren't able to get close enough to shoot at them. I guess they are going to try again this Sunday and Mick will be able to hunt this time.
My Grandma was suppose to come up from Homedale but fell sick the day before, so they weren't able to come.
We had a good time, it's different the older the kids get, they aren't as easily excited about things like they use to be and they pretty much have the "Easter Bunny," "Santa Claus" and the "Toothfairy" figured out. I try but it's harder the older they get.
Michayla and I got ready and headed over to my folk's house. We had a great lunch and then hid some eggs. My mom does a great job of spoiling all the kids. They got airplanes to fly, jacks, princess fairies and a couple other things. They each got a gold/silver egg with $1 in it..Michayla smiling like her mother, with her eyes closed, Clay was a little hidden but it's the best I got..











Abigail's B-day was the day before Easter and Mick and I just happened upon a gift for her that she has always wanted. Everytime she would come out to our house the kids would be off riding their 4 wheelers and she has always wanted one of her own. Well we found one and got it for her!! It was so exciting to see how suprised and excited she and her father were when we showed it to them..

I know that she just loves it. Mick had to do some tuning to make it run right, and they came and picked it up. They way Amanda tells it, is that she didn't want to get off of it when she got home. Now she can come out and run around our place with the kids and their 4 wheelers!!






How kids sleep..

Every night before I go to bed, I always go back into the kids' rooms to make sure that they are covered up and usually turn off Sis' fan. She is the warmest person I have ever known. She hates to be hot and therefore she has to go to sleep with her fan on.
Anyhow, the other night I went in there and saw this thing around her head and couldn't figure out what it was.. I turned the bathroom light on that shines in her room and this is what I found:



It is funny that at 8 yrs old Michayla still goes to sleep with her baby blanket. It is very thin, and has holes in it. She rubs it in her fingers when she is sleeping.. I still have my blanket, I wonder how long she'll have hers??


This weekend is again Baseball, baseball. We have a game for Clay Friday night, Sat morning and Monday night. Sis on Tuesday and then I am sure more to come.

I talked to my mom and sister about driving down to the Shoshone Waterfalls on Sat after Clay's game so I think we will take a little road trip and do that. I think Mick has a side job to do and it sounds like my dad is feeling a little bit under the weather.. I will be back to post more pictures then..
