Dyeing Easter eggs. This is the first time that we have done this. I don't know does that make me a bad mom? Well in my defense this is the first time really that he was old enough to do it and look it was so beautiful out that we did it on the patio:)

We had such a wonderful Easter that I wouldn't mind if we made it a yearly thing to go to Phoenix. The weather was just perfect and the kids were actually able to go swimming. I love it:)

Part 2 of our trip to Phoenix

Finally part 2 is here of our trip! I hope I was able to build the anticipation lol:)

While on our trip we took the kids to my grandmothers preschool for their Easter celebration! The kids have never been here when there were other kids so they had a lot of fun making new friends and trying new things. Payton was even in an Easter parade! After all the fun the kids didn't want to leave so Sam and I were able to leave them and have some us time and go to the Outlet mall. I have to say it was really nice being able to just drop them off and go have fun!


Parker in one of her Easter dresses after we dropped her off in the Lambs room.
Payton getting his Easter hat on for the parade!
Off they go.
So I have to say like every where we go Payton would not let Sam out of his sights. So here is Sam participating in the parade as well.
Payton pouting (wouldn't be him if he didn't do it a little).
Parker and Mommy!
The Easter egg hunt! So this is the first year that Payton was able to do an Easter egg hunt outside lol!! He didn't know what to do so I kept yelling at him to "Get the Eggs"!!! He did good and the teacher helped a little also.

After the egg hunt Payton went into his room and they had treats and did crafts and took a little nap! That's when Sam and I skipped out and had some In-n-out burger, it was sooo good!! And then we went shopping which I have to let everyone know was in fact not My idea but Sams:)

Our trip to Phoenix:Part 1

Here is the beginning of our trip, the Idaho Falls airport. Our flight left at 6:55 am so we were up very early but I have to say it was really nice not having to drive all the way to Salt Lake. The kids were really excited so you could never really tell that it was that early by looking at them. On the other hand Sam and I showed the signs all over!! As we were waiting to board the plane I decided I would take some pics of the kids and Sam!

Here is Paker with not one but TWO cereal bars!! She didn't care if it was 6:30 in the morning she was hungry and let me tell you she ate almost all of both of them!!


Here is Payton smiling patiently for the camera. He was so excited to go on an airplane and go see GG.

All in all it was a good flight. The kids were very well behaved and we didn't have to waste very much time in the Salt Lake airport which was nice. When we boarded the plane from Salt Lake City to Phoenix they actually had little televisions with satellite so we all got to watch our own stuff.
