Easter stuff, lots and lots of Easter stuff!!!

I forgot to post these pictures too of coloring eggs...you have to color eggs right!
Grandma Lindsay helping to fill the cups
Kurt "coloring" eggs
I don't think we want to know what he is drawing on that egg

Kurt in his apron...sexy hon!

Logan with all her eggs
Kurt and me!
We started off our Easter fun with a yummy dinner at Grandma and Grandpa Lindsay's house, also celebrating Kurt's sister Rachel's birthday on Saturday night. After dinner the kids all got to go outside, in between it raining, and find a bunch of eggs to fill their basket. Here is Logan running around trying to beat her older cousins to a few eggs!
Cousin Karlee
Cousin Jake, I think he was excited!
The cutest picture of Kurt and Logan...what a good dad, always in on all the fun!
Karlee, Logan, and Jake with their loot. Too bad Karlee and Jake have their cute baskets and Logan's was in storage. Kurt and I went to the storage unit and tried for over an hour to try to find all of our Easter stuff...no luck, what a pain in the butt! Oh well, Logan really didn't care!
Chuck and Laurie gave the kids their own goodie bag with all sorts of fun stuff for Easter, even the little girls. They got a cute outfit, some of their favorite snacks, puffs, and other fun stuff! My parents also gave Logan a cute shirt, a book and a CD with kids songs on it, which she will love to play on her CD player, and dance to! Thanks guys!
As usual the bag was the best part.
Again, as usual, Kurt being a good example to his children by putting the bag over his head...seriously, look what I have to deal with! As if 3 kids wasn't enough.
I just had to throw these pictures in because it was so funny...Kennedy was eating and pulling on Jake, actually pretty hard every time he would put his head in her reach!
Karsyn got in on the action too!
Next came Easter morning. We got up too early to try to get to my parent's church for Easter...we were only a half hour late! Before that we had to let Logan see what the Easter bunny left her. He remembered how badly she wanted the Thumbelina doll, even though she also remembered she wanted the movie and "he didn't bring that". She got a fun kite and bubbles and then lots and lots of candy!
She thought it was pretty funny that the eggs started right by her bed when she woke up and led out to her basket, she thought the Easter bunny was "funny"!
Here is Logan with her Thumbelina Doll!
Karsyn with her bunny ears, weird she is ripping them off too!
Kennedy in her bunny ears, much more cooperative even though they were way too big and kept falling off!
The girls on Easter morning with a few little things they got from the Easter Bunny
The Easter Bunny knew the girls couldn't eat any of the candy but that they would love these things to chew on the toy!
Later today we then went over to my Grandma Robison's house for another dinner and egg hunt! Kennedy found some chocolate and went to town on it...any extra calories we can get in this girl the better!
My cousin ZJ, with his missing teeth, and Makinlee
After another yummy ham dinner the kids headed out to find more eggs and even more candy.
My grandma has always had the perfect yard for stuff like this because it is big and full of good hiding places!
A full basket already and still going
Makinlee getting her fair share too!
We had such a fun Easter holiday, thanks everyone who gave the kids so much and planned all the fun activities!!!

Classic Fun Center

Logan, Karsyn and I went to The Classic Fun Center with some friends the other day...thanks Melissa, Nicki, Hailey, and kids! This was Logan's first time on skates and they actually gave her roller blades...she needs some practice!
We had a few tokens to use in the arcade part, here is Logan on the horse.
Kinlee and her cheesy smile on the dinosaur!
Since the roller blades were not a huge hit, she rode around on her scooter with her friends instead. It was great to watch all the other kids because I think every kid fell like 10 times, some not so gracefully!!
Hailey and Kinlee on her skates. She thought it was funny to fall so Hailey and to keep a hold of her so she didn't find out what falling would have really felt like!
Logan and Melissa's little boy, Ryker, jumping on the blow up stuff. I wasn't very good at taking pictures when they were playing on this part because you can't ever get very good ones because they won't stop running and bouncing. I guess that means they had fun!
Logan and Makinlee going down the slide

Anniversary and Seattle

Well Kurt and I headed to Seattle this weekend. Just as a little update as to why we were even up there, Kurt got laid off from his job last Friday, officially. For all those back "home" in Clearfield, you all knew that this whole job thing has been weird, but it finally happened. As sad as we were to leave our home in Clearfield, it turned out to be the best thing because of our situation now...not knowing what our future holds. That doesn't mean we don't miss you all like crazy!!! Anyway, Kurt and I went to Seattle for Kurt to interview for a job. We really don't want to move anywhere but with the way things are right now, we may not have a choice in order to get a good job. We will keep you all updated!
These are just a few pictures of Kurt and I walking down by the Waterfront in downtown Seattle. I will give Seattle this...it is beautiful down by the water, and lots of fun places to see! I am not totally convinced that I want to up and move there though...
We ate at Ivars down on the pier...it was way yummy and really cool because you would look out right onto the water with all the boats and stuff!
This was where we went for breakfast on Saturday down by the fish market. We stayed right downtown in a dumpy old Ramada, I have a picture that I took of Kurt in the shower showing how his head sticks out the top and we both had to bend our knees to reach the shower head. I didn't know if that was OK to put a picture on, even though all you could see was his head. Just believe me it was funny! Anyway, we were able to just drive a few short blocks, pay 10 bucks or more, and walk to the fish market that had all these fun little shops and cafes.
Here I am in front of the Market (and someone's black truck that took up the whole picture)!
This was my favorite part of the market...the beautiful flowers!!! They just had rows and rows of mostly tulips and daffodils either just bought by the stem or in these arrangements! If they would have lasted the plane ride home, I would have for sure brought some home!
Isn't this just the coolest thing ever! It reminds me of spring that never lasts long enough in Utah!
Even the top of the roofs had daffodils lined all the way across!
I sat by a lady on the plane ride there from Beaver (that should have been my first clue) and she was telling me that her and her sister and Mom were going to Seattle just to shop. They were going to the "Super Mall" in Auburn, which is just South of Seattle. She said it was the biggest mall in the Northwest, so we thought we would check it out. It was nothing special, at all, what a waste of time. Oh well!
Here we are waiting for our driver to get here to take us back to the airport...we were a little bored waiting!

Yep, he is mine!!! Which brings me to the next thing...our Anniversary!!! I can hardly believe we have been married for now 7 years. It seems like it went so fast, but yet seems like we have never been apart! I can honestly say I love Kurt so much more than even the day I married him. We have been through so much together and as a family, good and not so good. Those things that we have been through have brought us closer and closer (fortunately and unfortunately I am sure there will be more to come over the years)! He is my rock, and our families rock! He is one of the most sensitive guys (in a good way) always making sure that I am happy and that I get what I want...even though sometimes I probably don't need or deserve it! Kurt loves our little girls so much and that makes me love him even more...he would do anything for them and helps me so much! What can I say, I am the luckiest lady alive! I look forward to another bazillion years with you honey, hopefully you will put up with me too! What do they say..."the 7 year itch"...there is sure no itching here!!! I love you Kurt!
Kurt holding up a "Poop Log" book that we found in the airport, it was funny!
We had a fun plane ride home, a little tired, but there wasn't a ton of people on the plane with us, so it was cool! Yes I am a dork!
We left at the perfect time because it sounds like the girls were pretty sick while we were gone...thanks for cleaning all the vomit and diarrhea up guys!
Again, a little bored! I could just sit and hang out with Kurt in a cardboard box...he makes everything we do fun! Love ya hon!

PS: I tried to upload the girls Easter pictures that we had taken but they wouldn't work so (I am sure most of you already will) but go and look on my Facebook page to see the cute pictures!
