Easter Hunt & Parkers Birthday

We celebrated Easter this year with the Wades on Parkers Birthday! We went to Mary's place and did the annual egg hunt then presents and cake for Parker!

The kids all line up and wait for the go!! Then they frantically run around grabbing as much candy as possible...

... when the whirlwind is over they tend to dump out their loot and go through it all... granddad puts stickers on some of the candys that are worth fives bucks or so...

then we find hidden stickers... the kids were waiting on the stairs, eating their candy, while the stickers were being hidden..

and the boys played a little football with Brad.

In the end we had cake for Park who turned 11!!! Oh my 11!?? Seriously crazy! Love this kid so much!!! Park is turning into a teenage boy right before my eyes! So far it hasn't been too scary, he really is a heck of a kid! Before I know it he'll be outta here, I try and cherish the time I have with him, cause its going by so fast!

He was surprised with a brand new fishing pole! He's excited to go with his dad!

We had a fun time with the Wade Clan...

Max's Baptism

It was a great day! Max did a great job and was a very good boy! He was really excited about getting baptized. After the ordinances we had a luncheon with our family and friends.

Max's Baptism pictures

Usually my dear sister Brooke photographs all moments like this, but she had just had her cute little baby Pepper so it was hard finding a time to do it, so I attempted it on my own... they turned out ok, but it was pretty much the coldest day of the year when we went so it really put a damper on things... Max was freezing and you can tell by his cold little smile,, oh well... he's still cute~

My Maxi turned 8!!! What a cool kid! He had a fun birthDAY, we went swimming and back to grandmas for presents and cake!! We celebrated the following Sunday with Wades... Max wanted to make homemade pizza and it was a hit! We had a great time and he got hooked up with presents and cash!! Seriously love this kid, he is always in a good mood, he's always happy and jokes around like nobody's business. Were so grateful for him in our lives. Wouldn't be the same without him! He is really looking forward to getting baptized, is bummed he has had to wait so long... such a good kid!!
