The Annual North Powder Easter Egg Hunt

As always we attended the North Powder Easter egg hunt. The kids love this egg hunt. Sierra was no in the category of being too old to participate. So she was more than happy to help Megan and her other siblings find their eggs.
It has also been really fun having Bradey and Lacey and Justin and Emily here. The kids had fun hunting for eggs with their cousins. Great times!!

The bell has rung, let the games begin.

Two Buddies, too Cute!!

We have had the opportunity to have my brother, Bradey and his family move closer to us. It has been so much fun. Hunter and his cousin Mason, look just alike. The weather is finally getting nice again, so they had an opportunity to play outside. I just thought this was too cute. They were taking straw and putting it in a puddle. Then they mixed it all together with a stick. This was a picture perfect "boy" thing!!

Easter Egg Hunt

This year it was very cold at our Easter egg hunt on horse back. We ended up having the lunch in the shop with a propane heater blasting heat to keep us warm. Still as always, it was a lot of fun. Lindsey had a little fever and ended up staying in the house for this hunt. we are wanting to get her feeling better!

It's Pinewood Car Derby Time!

We had our annual, no rules, pinewood derby. It was fun! Our creation did much better than last years model. We were pretty proud of it. It held up through all the races. We're #1, we're #1!! Here are some pictures of the competition:

Bishop was in charge of starting the races. Lindsey wanted an up close look.

And the winner is.....US!!

Megan's turn to get our car lined up on the race track.

This was just a funny random picture we took of Gage one Sunday. He was eating some cantaloupe and was so tired he fell asleep on Jason's shoulder while chewing it.

Lights, Camera, Action!!

It is Missoula Children's Theater time again. Once a year in March, the Missoula Children's Theater comes to the school from Missoula, MT. In one week they have try outs, create a cast and perform a play. It is pretty amazing to see it all in action.

This year all three girls received a part in the play. The name of the play was the Princess and the Pea. Lindsey was casted as a dust bunny. Megan and Sierra were ice villagers. They did a fabulous job and it was a lot of fun to watch. Way to go girls!!

Spring Break 2011

This year was a fast and furious spring break for us. Usually we stay for a week to a week-and-a -half. This year we were only able to stay for a few days. We still had a good time in Utah, visiting cousins and grandparents. We also were able to attend a Dairy Princess pageant for Hailee. She did great and was named a Dairy Princess. We were very excited for her. We were also able to go and visit with Grandma and Grandpa Hobbs. We love being able to visit with them.
