Easter egg hunts

I am very late posting about the Easter egg hunts that the kids went on but better late then never.  The kids did three Easter egg hunts, Mason and Elly, Tyler only did two with us.  I only took pictures at the one we went to with their cousins and it was the one that Tyler didn't go to. 

The little group of kids that we were with.

Mason and Elly getting in on the action.

I love these two and the days where they are little buddies.

Don't you love...

Don't you love how funny kids look in swim goggles?  The boys have been wearing them at swimming lessons and so Elly likes to try them on too.  The other funny thing about them is when you take them off then they have circles around their eyes.

First black eye

Elly got her first black eye the other when when she climb up a step ladder and tipped it over causing her to hit her head on the piano.  This girl has pretty much no fear and she didn't learn her lesson because she has tried it again since. 

This is also the first time that she has ever said cheese for me when I was talking a picture of her.  She looks pretty cute other than her mom forgot to wash the Mac and Cheese off her face.

This is the eye a couple of days later.

Then a couple of days later.  This is first thing in the morning so she is looking pretty good.  Yes she has something on her forehead to because she ran into the cornor of the wall when she was teasing her dad.  It has been a hard weeek for her head.  Before the black eye she had a bruise on her temple because Mason accidently got her with the baseball bat and a few days before that he got her above the ear with a block, that one was on purpose.  I hope she survives.

Boys

This morning the boys each brought me their swords and asked me to tie them onto them, so once that was done then it was off to battle.  They told me that they needed to go to battle and off then headed out the door.  I was very interested to see what was going to happen next so I watched them. I don't know what the hose had to do with it because they were talking to quietly for me to hear them.  There are many days I wish I knew what was going on inside their heads.

Tyler was looking in the back door to see if I was there.  Once he realized that I was there ready for a picture of him he had to hide his face.

Mason is so goofy.  He learned how to ride his bike without training wheels last year but when we got his bike out for him to ride it he wouldn't do it.  He only wanted to ride the baby bike.  The good news is that he only wanted to do that for a couple of days and then he wanted to ride his bike again.

Friends

It seems like February was a little crazy.  We were gone a lot so when we finally were home the boys loved it when there friend came over to play, ofcourse we have to play "big buck hunter pro."  I love watching them play because they are so serious about it.  Mason thinks he has to help everybody that hasn't played it before.

After being inside a while they decided to go out and enjoy the nice day that we were having.  It is funny how every boy loves to dig with a shovel, it doesn't even matter what they are shoveling.  They had a great time playing out there together.

After digging then out came the dump trucks.  They just looked so cute pushing their dump trucks.  They boys love when a friends comes to play.

State Wrestling

I am really late getting this posted but in sometimes that is how it works.  In February the kids and I went to state wrestling at Casper, Wyoming.  The kids had a great time being with their cousins and watching the few matches that they watched.  Most of the time the were playing with each other or eating snacks, but they were pretty good and we had a great time.  I had a hard time deciding what pictures to include and what to leave out so there are a few pictures with this post.

My cute little kids.

Tenor had a bye the first round, so this is him wrestling in the second round.

He beat this kid so he went on to the semi finals.

Elly was good to take a nap both days we were there so that made it easier.

Tyler and Mason were very entertained with this toy, thanks Jamie.

Tenor wrestling in the semi-finals. 

He won this one so he wrestled for the Championship.

This is Elly in her sweet sunglasses the her cousin, Reagan made for her, it is the wrapper of a gatorade bottle.  My sister-in-law looked really good in them but she wouldn't let me take a picture of that.

Here is Tenor getting warmed up for the Championship match.

The kid he wrestled was from Big Pinney.  This is the championship match.  He got second place.  We were pretty proud of him and are excited to watch him wrestle next year.

I had to post this picture because I thought it was so cute of my brother and sister-in-law.  I know Jamie is going to look at this picture of love it too.

Tyler and his cousin Rylee were pretty much inseperable this weekend.  They had so much fun together.  They don't look like they are having fun but it is only because they are listening to music so they are in they zone.

Then we have these two crazy kids.  I don't know where they came from.  (My little brother and my nephew)

Here is a pictures of the group of us that went to watch Tenor wrestle, there are a couple that you can't see very good because they are behind the top row.

This group is a little crazy as you can see.

This is when they gave the kids their medals.  Tenor is the second from the left.

Tenor with his coaches.

Tenor with Ammon and Lochlyn, who we will be there watching someday.

Tenor and the sweet shaving job he did on his legs.

Dad and mom with Tenor.

Mason fell asleep during the championship matches so he was still a little tired when we were down taking pictures with Tenor so Grandpa carried him on his shoulders, Mason loved that.

I guess that Tyler didn't get enough of wrestling because he was wrestling Brooklyn the whole time we were trying to get pictures.

The Team took second place.

My family with Tenor.

Mom, Brock, Dad, Tenor, Brittny, Ammon and Brooklyn.  Savanah was there but here ride left before we took this picture.  She is in the picture with the kids all being crazy though.

We had a great time at state wrestling.  It is the best state event to go to.  The kids love going every year.  Next year Jay is going to go with us since everyone will be there.  We missed Candice and Rodney this year because they are on missions, Tiffany's family couldn't come and Camille's family didn't make it either because they were having a baby.  While we were there my dad had his birthday.   I hope it was fun.  We can't wait for next year.
