Easter Time

Time for a bottle and book in the morning. Best way to start the day.
New this year. The boys love getting their Christmas coupons and I'm trying not to go too nuts with all the treats but go for activities instead so hoped these would do the trick.
For some reason my mom sent me a few old pictures and I loved seeing my guys little again. Time passes so dang fast.

Max at a couple months old. Look at his face.
Levi and Elijah.
And Levi. Davis looks so much like him.
It had been a while since we went to Uncle Monte's and Aunt Cheryl's so we did. Davis got to see their chickens for the first time and was quite fascinated and kept running back to see them whenever he could.
We did an easter egg hunt with some families in the ward and it was fun. Davis had no idea what was going on but seemed to have fun. Of course he immediately went and found the balls. Then rode the bikes. Didn't want a single egg. That's ok, his brothers did know what was going on and were happy to share.

I had arranged to do a mom's only hunt afterwards with some of my jewelry and some fancy nicer chocolate. The mom's loved it. I'm pretty sure we need to make that a yearly tradition.
Giving your pink starburst. Now that is love. (He gave it to me, sweet boy)
Davis entertained us for a good half hour playing with a bag. He kept walking around like a robot with it on.
Playing at the school and all Davis wanted to to was RUN. At least it got the wiggles out. Kind of.
Levi reading through Harry Potter again.
Max has been working on getting across the monkey bars.
And besids running all he likes to do is climb.

On our way back from the school and our walk we found $20 in the middle of the sidewalk. We asked the house that it was in front of if it was any of there's but it wasn't so we got to keep it. We are putting it in our Harry Potter World fun. One of the things I've been trying to teach the boys is saving for something you really want and how I do that is I have 'funds'. I have envelopes where I put $ for different things. This is how I saved up for our fridge, the couches, trips.  Things like that. It feels so good saving up know that it's all paid for and knowing how much you worked for it. Right now we have some ongoing ones. I have one for a Bolivia trip which I've had for several years, it's going to happen. Our cruise, which is actually paid for but for some spending $. A fund for Harry Potter World which at first looked like it would be in Florida but by the time we have the $ saved the one in California will be open! Also Max wanted to start one for Great Wolf Lodge because we've never been, so we're working on it. It been good seeing the boys interested in saving towards a common goal.
And Easter! Super simple with some fun favorite treats and their coupons. Also was included was a small Lego set each. They loved it.
A small hunt around the yard. This time Davis was a bit more interested.
Easter dinner! The boys of course, both wanted the leg but since it was a turkey it was pretty huge. Good thing Levi has had a pretty much bottomless stomach these days.
