The Friday before Easter we headed out to Dove Creek. I forgot my camera!!! Seriously...what mother with 5 adorable little children forgets their camera?! It was a stormy day. The sun was shining and it was snowing. I wanted to take pictures of the clouds....we saw plenty of antelope and deer that I wanted to take pictures of too. Oh well. I guess I'd rather forget the camera than forget one of the kids.
I am very lucky, Mona let me carry her camera around for the day. We are also lucky that Brad & Mona have built a little palace for us to stay warm in. Lexi did grab onto the wood burning stove at one point, but only ended up with a little blister on her hand. Poor baby. Here are all of my cuties ready to collect their Easter eggs! (It was crazy hair day at school for Caleb. Can you tell?)
They had a lot of fun finding their eggs. Rylee freaked out quite a bit because Luke & Lex were just picking up every egg that they came across. If it didn't have their name on it she would yell at them and start to cry a little. Being 5 is so hard! :)
After the egg hunt Casey frolicked with the bubbles, we enjoyed the break in the clouds, and flew some kites. Casey got a rag-head thing at Smith & Edwards and he loves it. I don't know why he loves it, but he probably doesn't know why I love glitter so much either.
Casey & Brad disappeared so Mona set up a tarp so that we could dye some eggs. I didn't want them to spill the food dye all over, so I was micro managing (which I am trying to do less of). The kids had fun though, and their eggs were beautiful!
I love that cameras have timers. It was a fabulous kick off to Easter weekend!

Oh my gosh. I didn't know you were out there on Friday. You had a busy weekend. You must have been exhausted. And who wouldn't love a rag head thing?
Cute pictures. Looks like a fun time.
Fun!!! I love the picture of you and Luke. He looks so sweet and innocent!!!
