Funny Uncle Ben's wedding

My boyz have two Uncle Ben's. In order to distinguish which Uncle Ben they are going to see they ask if it is the "funny" one. Well, Funny Uncle Ben tied the knot last week to his beautiful bride Dara and we had fun celebrating with them.

My boyz waiting for the wedding to start.

Siblings and parents of the groom. (We are all leaning so much to get our faces out of the sun per the photographers request.)

JUMP SKY HIGH!!!!!!!!!

We had lots of family come in town for a wedding and took advantage of that time to have loads of fun. First stop was JUMPING!

Lucie, my niece took a break from jumping and tried to take off with my purse.

 

Carson was a pro at jumping since he has his own trampoline at home to practice on.

 

Cade, Trevor, and cousin Penny.

Cade was a jumping machine.

Some cousins had left or weren't in town yet so this is only just over half of them!

 

We also went to Fairytale town and I forgot my camera so this is my only picture. We did have more adults to supervise all these kiddos. They just didn't want to be in the picture!

 

Everyone in our "Teamwork" shirts. This years family reunion is being combined with the two weddings we are having. This is EVERYONE-so far!

 

Moving

I took a break from packing and came out in the garage to see this. My boys entertaining themselves on grandpa's trailer. How fun!

 

 

 

Easter

Easter weekend was busy and fun. Carson's birthday Saturday and Easter on Sunday made for a lot of goodies and sweets. The sweetest part for me was spending time with family, listening to conference and celebrating the resurrection of our Savior, Jesus Christ. I have definitely needed Him this year more than ever as we have had our share of struggles. So much of my burdens have been lifted because of Him. I know that He lives and loves me.

Boys and Easter baskets.

Goofy picture.

 

On the run...

 

 

 

Tell me these Cade faces don't crack you up!

 

 

 

Opening the loot to see what is inside their eggs.

 

We finished the day by having dinner with cousins. So fun!

 

Carson is two!

Carson devoured his birthday donut this year.

 

And made funny faces for me.

 

Had fun opening his presents between Conference sessions.

 

And LOVED actually playing baseball like his big brothers. Trevor and Ethan helped him and gave him pointers for awhile!

 

He got excited about his cupcakes,

 

and just stared at us while we sang.

 

He needed big brothers to help him blow out his candles. We haven't had birthdays here for awhile so he wasn't sure what to do. I however was excited and sad that my last baby turned two. Definitely bittersweet for me. I feel like they are babies until they turn two. Then they are kids. This sweet boy is so fun to cuddle and play with! I love you Carson!

After Conference and birthday celebrating Cade cracked me up. He thinks the only place he can ride this bike without training wheels is grandma and grandpas house.

 

 

dying easter eggs

Easter eggs started out calm this year.

 

Carson, however was not happy about having to wait for the color to take.

 

Daddy tried to let him stir a little so he felt like he was doing something.

 

But, we still ended up with at two year old that was very unhappy.

 

He finally stopped and understood he had to WAIT for the egg to get color on it. He sat like this quietly glaring on and off at everyone.

 

When he finally saw the process and understood, he had a lot more fun!
