Easter

I know I'm late posting about Easter, but what do you expect? It's me. My blog is either feast or famine (okay, mostly famine), but I will get around to posting eventually. I probably would have posted about Easter a little sooner, but poor Riley has been sick all week. It's been a long week with not a lot of sleep. Anyways, back to the topic at hand. Easter!

This year for Easter, we had Grandma and Grandpa Speer come up from Vegas to see the kids, and Bobbi and Mattie came up from Salt Lake. On Saturday, I took Jacoby to the mall to an Easter Egg hunt, but it wasn't much of a "hunt". They just threw eggs and candy onto the floor and let the kids go nuts, but I guess that's what I get for going to the mall. Jacoby was so excited to go get the eggs, but I don't think he quite grasped the concept of what he was supposed to do. Once they said "go", he ran in with his basket on his arm and grabbed one egg. He turned and held it up for me to see and then ran around the circle of kids and threw his one and only egg at some random kid and it was over. No candy, nothing. It was progress though. Last year, all he did was scream and cry. I did snap a few pictures of it on my phone, but the lighting was really bad and they didn't really turn out.

Easter Morning! Riley's fever started in the middle of the night and so I was up most of the night with him. So, Easter morning was a little unorganized. Jacoby came into our room to wake us up and so we hurried and grabbed his basket for him to open. Riley couldn't have cared less, although we did make one for him too.

Easter morning. Jacoby found his Easter basket.

Look at the cool Easter Eggs that Grandma brought!

Playing with his new Rex toy.

Even though the poor kid was super hot with a fever, he was happy and pulling faces with Grandma!

Haha! Jacoby liked kissing grandpa's belly.

After everybody had breakfast, the boys went outside and hid eggs and candy for Jacoby to have another Easter Egg hunt. We should have done that before I tried to take him to one in public. He figured it out very quickly with the help of Grandpa.



He had to stop and eat some of his candy.

All done. Time to gorge.

Cute Riley with Grandpa.

Bobbi thought that she would give Riley a taste of her sucker.

Riley wasn't happy with just a taste.

It's mine now!

The girls! The sun was in our eyes so we're all a bit squinty.

Jacoby loves to go in the shed and sit on the 4 wheelers. On Easter, he had to go eat his candy on the 4 wheelers. Silly boy.

Our Week in Pictures

Last weekend, we had Brady, McKensy and cute little Addison come over for a movie night. We didn't really watch a movie, but it was nice to get together and let the kids play.

Addison is almost a month older than Riley. I think that he is twice her size though...

Cute Cousins!

Riley had just learned to pull himself into a standing position that day (April 1). Addison has been doing it for a while now, so she was showing him all the fun new toys he could play with now that he could stand.

Here is a picture of Riley and his new skill.

Last Saturday, Dominic went fishing and caught a monster. It was over 25 inches long. He wanted to have Jacoby hold it and take a picture, but Jacoby wasn't having anything to do with it (big surprise there). So, Dominic tried to just hold the fish and snap a picture of Jacoby at the same time.


Apparently, Jacoby doesn't like fish.

And here is a picture of my cute kids waking me up in the morning. The best alarm clock anybody could ask for!

When Riley wakes up from his morning nap, Jacoby lays down on his bed and asks for Riley. So, I lay him down next to Jacoby and they kick, giggle, and play. It is so cute.

Riley's new face. His "O" face.

Dad bought Jacoby a new goggles for the 4-wheeler. Jacoby was trying them on for us.
