EASTER WEEKEND

I AM A LITTLE LATE GETTING EASTER ON MY BLOG. BUT BETTER LATE THAN NEVER..RIGHT!? THIS PAST WEEKEND WAS SO BUSY AND FULL OF FUN ACTIVITES. SATURDAY WE WENT TO THE FARR WEST EASTER EGG HUNT. THERE WAS A REALLY GOOD TURN OUT. WE WENT WITH KYLEE AND HER KIDS, AND ALAINA AND HER FAMILY. IT WAS FUN TO SEE THE KIDS RACING TO GRAB AS MUCH CANDY AS POSSIBLE. THEY ALL DID PRETTY WELL!! AND THE WEATHER WAS ACTUALLY PRETTY NICE...


LATER IN THE AFTERNOON ME AND ALAINA TOOK THE GIRLS TO SEE THE "HANNAH MONTANA" MOVIE. OKAY, THIS WAS SUCH A SWEET MOVIE. I REALLY ENJOYED IT! I WANT TO GO BUY HER CD! THE GIRLS ACTED LIKE THEY HAD FUN , BUT I KNOW THAT ALAINA AND I THOUGHT THE MOVIE ROCKED!

AFTER THE MOVIE, ALAINA AND THE GIRLS CAME OVER TO OUR HOUSE TO COLOR EASTER EGGS. THE GIRLS HAD A LOT OF FUN DYING THEIR EGGS. THEY DID SOME FUN DESIGNS AND USED STICKERS AND GLITTER TO MAKE THEM PRETTY.


WE ALL THEN HEADED OVER TO KYLEES FOR A BBQ. THE FOOD WAS SO YUMMY! IT WAS FUN TO SEE ALL MY FRIENDS AND THE KIDS RAN AROUND LIKE CRAZY. THE GIRLS AND I PLAYED APPLE TO APPLES AND HAD OUR FAIR SHARE OF DRINKS. THIS TIME THE GIRLS WERE THE CRAZY DRUNKS WHILE THE GUYS SAT ON THE COUCHES WONDERING WHAT THE HECK GOT INTO US GIRLS!!!

SUNDAY WAS SUCH A BEAUTIFUL DAY! THE KIDS GOT UP FAIRLY EARLY AND FOUND THEIR BASKETS. WE THEN WENT OUTSIDE TO DO OUR EGG HUNT. ZACH WAS SO CUTE.. HE REALLY GOT INTO THE LOOKING FOR HIS BASKET, LOOKING FOR HIS HIDDEN EGGS, AND PLAYING BUBBLES, AND DOING SILLY STRING. NOW WHAT I DONT KNOW IS WAS HE DOING THIS FOR LEXIE OR WAS HE REALLY ENJOYING HIMSELF. I THINK I WILL GO FOR... HE WAS REALLY HAVING A GOOD TIME AND WAS CAUGHT UP IN THE MOMENT. BEING 14 AND ALL YOU NEVER KNOW IF WHAT YOU HAVE DONE IS STUPID OR ENJOYABLE. ANYWAYS, WE THEN ATE A YUMMY BREAKFAST AND JUST RELAXED THE REST OF THE DAY. LOVE THE LOOK ON ZACHS FACE WHEN HE FOUND HIS BASKET... TO ME THIS IS PRICELESS!!!
HERE IS ME COVERED IN SILLY STRING. WHY DID THEY GANG UP ON ME!!!! I REALLY ENJOYED WATCHING MY KIDS PLAY WITH THE BUBBLES. ZACH WAS HAVING SUCH A GOOD TIME... LEXIE HAD THE CASE OF THE GIGGLES... THE WEATHER WAS FANTASTIC.... AND IT WAS A GREAT FAMILY DAY!!
