Ever since Easton could talk he would tell you that his birthday was on "Tax Day". On his actual birthday he went to school and took Blowpops (suckers are his favorite candy) for all of his classmates. When Spencer got home from work we told Easton we could go anywhere that he wanted for dinner, he chose McDonald's. Last year we went to the Cheesecake Factory, this year McDonald's. He said that he wanted to save money-he is his mothers son!

When we asked Easton what he wanted for his birthday he told us that he didn't want anything. The night before I picked up a $4 kick stand for his bike. When I got home he saw it in the bag and asked what it was. I told him that it was a kick stand for his bike, and that this was his birthday present that he saw. He was so excited for his kick stand, that was all that he wanted. We decided that we would get him some golf clubs, this way Spencer has an excuse to golf more this summer. When Easton saw his golf clubs the first thing out of his mouth was, "Golf clubs, this is what I always dreamed of." Where does he come up with these things?
Easton and Camden both had a great time trying out the new clubs. We now just need to get him out to the driving range.

Easton is such a tenderhearted child. He is very sensitive and emotional, but we still love him. He is a great big brother, both to Camden and AnaBella. He loves Swiss cheese sandwiches, guacamole, Sunny Delight, and all candy. He loves riding his bike, being outdoors, swimming, Disneyland, his Dad, school, dolphins, baseball, football, U of U, and the Chicago Bears.

We love you and are so glad that you are part of our family!

Six years old!

Easton's birthday is on April 15th. I can't believe that he is already six years old, it has gone by so fast. We started celebrating on Easter with the Burt family. These are all of Sherry and Jack's grandchildren in their Easter hats-thanks Aleisha! Everyone knows Easton so well. He loves his new Chicago Bears football.

Thanks to Kelli for sharing a birthday celebration with Easton.

Easter Morning

They were so excited to go out and look for the eggs and their Easter baskets. They looked for all of the eggs first, and then we moved onto the baskets.

Then it was off to look for their baskets. It's amazing the memories the boys have. They went right to the place where their baskets were last year, thinking that they would be in the same place. This year Easton's was on top of the entertainment center, Camden's was in the dish washer, and AnaBella's was in the oven. What a great hider that Easter Bunny is!

It was a rough morning trying to get out the door to church by 9 A.M. Needless to say we were late to church.

Bella is such a girlie girl. She loves dresses, toe nail polish, and makeup. The nursery leaders say that she has her little throne that she sits on and expects the others to bring her toys.

Easter Celebrations!

We had our Easter celebration at my parents house the Saturday before Easter. We should never try to get all five kids to look at the camera at the same time. Oh well, what do you do! They were pretty anxious to get out on their Easter egg hunt. Tanner was definately out to get the most eggs, and he did.
Bella was a little reluctant at first, but then she caught on.

I just thought this was a funny picture of Camden.

After the egg hunt, once again I could not get the the five kids to look at once.

There were plenty activites planned for this night. After the Easter egg hunt we had a great dinner. Then the kids were able to decorate the Easter cookies that Aunt Ace and Uncle Bryce brought over. When the kids were done with that we moved onto coloring the eggs. They had a great time fuguring out how they were going to decorate their eggs.

All of the kids, with the biggest kid in the background!

I told my mom that this was a cute cake. She said that she used to make one for us every Easter. I do not remember this. This is why I don't ever do anything cute for my kids. I figure in a few years they will forget that I never did anything for them. Just kidding, that is just my excuse for being a slacker mom!

Soccer Game

Easton's first soccer game was pretty cold. Easton did great, he really gets aggressive on the field. I don't know who gives me better faces AnaBella or Camden?

Take me out to the Ballgames

It's going to be a crazy Spring. Between baseball, t-ball, and soccer games we are going to be busy going back and forth between all of the different fields. Easton's first game was on Tuesday. We were so glad it was nice and warm. Easton hit the first pitch, what a great way to start the season.
AnaBella had fun watching the game for a minute, then she wanted to be moving.

Camden had his first T-ball practice today. He is excited to play this year.

I Should Have...

For those of you who know me, know that I am the queen of "I should have..." Whenever I go to dinner and I try to be daring and order something new, I always say I should have ordered my usual. Or if I buy a new shirt, or something for the house, by the time I get home I am always thinking, I should have bought the other thing that I was debating on. I can never make a decision, just ask Spencer, and when I do I feel like I made the wrong choice. A couple of weeks ago I called my great friend, and Beautician, Kristen, and told her that I wanted to go dark, the problem was that I had to wait a week. That week left me ample time to ask everyone around me what they thought. Most people said don't do it, stay blond. I got to Kristen's house and was very nervous about the whole thing, but said "Go for it." This is one time that I am not saying "I should have stayed blond." I really like my hair dark and may keep it for awhile. Maybe I will even be more daring to try new things, or not???
