the thought occurred to me to get out my camera and snap some pictures that morning, but i was just too lazy and wanted to enjoy the moments without trying to capture it all. in hindsight of course, i'd love some shots.
we did manage a family picture. i think it is impossible to get a photo these days that i like of everyone, but that is life right now and i can't forgo all photos just because someone is always looking so not natural!
Josh's brother Johnny and wife Kaley came up from Salt Lake. It was great fun. We enjoyed dinner out all together on Saturday night. we played lots of games and snacked way too much. the kids LOVE them and love all the extra attention they are given. As they were packing to leave today, Ashley asked why they couldn't live with us. She said they could be like her big brother and sister and she needs a big sister. she was so serious. she then said Kaley was her best friend. man, it is so good to live near our families. seriously, look at the pictures - my kids look way better with aunt and uncle - so happy and carefree, do you think they like them more?? :)
we missed our fun time we had last year with grandma and grandaddy on our first Easter in Idaho, but are so glad mom is healing and regaining her strength and will be ready for a great celebration next year! we did drop by, washed up and masked up and took them some Easter goodies.
i always think of some great ideas at the last minute, things i could do to make it more special or fun and memorable. my new self-talk is always, " add that to the file and I'll do it next year!' if i really come through, next years holidays will be amazing :)

Yeah, sorry... they look happier with their aunt and uncle!!! :) cute pictures, Kim!
What cute kids! Glad you had a good easter...it is true..they look happier with aunt and uncle, but only cause they were looking at YOU and JOSH...right??? We really do need to get together. We would LOVE you guys to come down and see when the little babe arrives. I am hoping it is sooner than later. I need to hold out until Saturday cause Nate is getting baptized, but then I hope to have it ASAP! Loved your sunrise pictures. I am too lazy and never see the sunrise anymore. Maybe I'll start running again after the baby comes...one can only hope!
the fam looks so cute and happy!
I can't believe how big those kids are getting! I know I say that every time I see them, but seriously! Time is sure flying by. You are a great mom with all the fun things you do with your kids. I am like you though and wish I would've taken some more pictures. ;)
