"Hoppy" Easter

Hoppy Easter! This weekend was quite the busy one. Zachary and I went to visit my sister Heather who just had a baby and Phil went to his parents house with Kaylin. I had a lot of fun at my sister's house. The first day we went to get pedicures and hung out and watched "Dan in real life" (good movie btw). Later that evening, we went to visit my sister Kristin and family to play games and visit with each other. My other sister Janessa came up with her husband and my brother Nathan was there also visiting from Chicago. It was a fun family gathering. Saturday was busy at my mom's families house with Easter bingo and a giant Easter egg hunt. I wish Kaylin was there because she would've loved it, but I know that she had a blast going to the movies with Grandpa and decorating Easter eggs. I left Heather's house on Sunday and Phil got home Sunday night. It was a short trip but a very memorable one.

Uncle Jay and Zachary at the Fire station. We got a "private tour" of the station where we got to see the "Jaws of Life-both the cutters and the stretchers" (Did I get that right Jay?)

Jay, Heather and baby Lauren. Jay had to model his full fire suit. Looking great the Jay!

The weekend before Easter weekend, my sister Michelle flew in to visit us. She came without her two kids and loved it! We went to the temple on Saturday and then went shopping all day. It was really fun to have a style guru shopping with me and updating my sadly out-of-style wardrobe. We also visited my favorite grocery store Winco to buy some things in their incredibly cheap "Bulk foods" section. We went a little nuts, but it's food storage, right?

Michelle took a trip down memory lane playing Super Mario Bro 3 on the Wii and together, she and Phil beat the game. Phil loved having someone to play with since I don't play all that often.

All in all they were two very fun weekends.

What a beautiful family you have Rebecca! How is Kaylin doing? Your kids just get cuter! What a blessing to visit with all your family!

Ps. Can you let Phil know that my friend Amy's father died on Easter Sunday. I thought he would want to know that. Thanks ;)

I bet Kaylin did have a TON of fun with Phil's parents. They look like such awesome grandparents. I just love how close your family is, and how much effort you all make to spend time together. Its so neat!!

Not to mention, a shopping trip with the sis is always in order :)
