Hoppy Easter

We had Stake Conference on Easter and last week was General Conference so our Easter lessons at church were all 2 weeks ago. So the kids wore their Easter outfits to church 2 weeks ago. It was nice a few days before but snowed on Saturday night and Sunday morning. There is ALWAYS snow in every Easter picture since moving to the midwest so I made the kids take their coats off and get a picture, even though it wasn't really Easter. I had to bribe them with candy!

This was the actual Easter Sunday. No snow but it was a little chilly and the snow came the next day, luckily it didn't stick!
We went to the park on Saturday for the Coralville Egg hunt. Wow, there were thousands of people, seriously thousands. The parents were knocking down the fences that surrounded the eggs so their kids could get one of the 10,000 eggs that were there. They had age limits on each fenced area but no one took any notice. When the instructions were given they were trying to get the kids to go the farthest in so no one would get trampled. It was CRAZY! The kids had fun doing little Easter crafts and petting live bunnies.

We were able to go to Nauvoo with our friends from medical school. It was so much fun. The kids had a blast and it was great to catch up after not seeing them for almost 3 years. We are so excited for spring to be here. We have started getting our yard dewinterized and it is going to take some major time and yard waste bags. Wish we could just hire someone to come and do it so we could spend time getting the garden ready. There really isn't enough time in the day or daylight left when Phil gets home from work.

My weekly Dr. apts are going good. Baby is looking good on the Non-stress tests I do each time. Poor baby doesn't have a list of names yet, I can't find anything that I really like (ideas are welcome). The little guy arrives in about 3 weeks so there is definitely things that need to get done around here!

Looks like you had a fun Easter. The kids look so cute in their Easter clothes. Sounds like your trip to Nauvoo was great. Tell Phil not to get into that nasty weed again when working in the yard.

Oh my stars, I can't believe it's 3 weeks away! Where have I been? I want to see some pregnant pictures of you! (maybe that's why I didn't realize it was so close)

The kids look darling in their outfits. I love Nate's little suit.
