eggie hunts

logan was excited about the "eggie" hunts this year. especially when he realized the eggs were filled with candy! this kid has a sweet tooth like his mama! he would squeal and celebrate every time he found one. we attended 2 easter egg hunts the day before easter and by the time he got to the second one at his nana and papa's house, he was a pro! and emma, well, she just looked cute sitting on the grass next to a basket of eggs!

this week in pictures (and some words)

logan's "water slide"/"bridge" that he built. 
meanwhile emma got acquainted with logan's new carseat.
 
 logan discovered that it snowed. a freak spring storm about a completely dry march and a week of 80 degree days.
 the joy of a really big box!
 i went to check on him one night and found him like this. i had to take a picture, which woke him up and made him really not happy :(
 building a "tent" with emma. this is how our family room has looked everyday this week. it's so fun to see what he comes up with. emma has only got stuck in the tent a few times ;)
 putting pennies in his piggy bank
 pulling books from the bookcase, a daily occurence
 this girl loves to play in the bathroom. her favorite thing is pushing the shampoo bottle into the bathtub.
 getting every last drop!
 apparently logan didn't like tomatoes this night
 more fun with a really big box
 sending his train over the "cliff." he loves for me to yell out, "no train, no train! don't fall!" we do this over and over again.
 spring blossoms on our trees out back

general conference weekend

last weekend we spent saturday and sunday watching general conference, a semi-annual event for our church where we are able to hear from our prophet, 12 apostles and other church leadership. i look forward to it every year (technically every 6 months i guess). it is a weekend of vegging out, eating yummy food and spiritual enlightenment. as one of my friends posted on facebook, "conference weekend: the only time i can sit on the couch all weekend, in my pjs, watching tv and not feel like a total slob." so true! you really can't beat church in your pjs! i was reminded of so many wonderful truths and ways that i can improve. now i just have to get to work applying all i learned! i'm so grateful for a living prophet!
 emma found logan's apple and dave's scriptures. this girl gets into everything!
 
dave went in to get logan up from his nap. logan came into our bedroom but dave didn't come back. when i asked logan where his dad was he said, "daddy's taking a nap in my bed." 
 teamwork! logan and emma cleaning the toilet and emma just chillin'
