Panaca Fun!

 Spontaneous and fun! Spur of the moment we headed to Panaca for the day! Panaca is Chad's family house! My brother has  been  dying to get out of town so he was totally down  with the plan! It was a fast trip but so much fun! Weather was rainy and cold but we still had a great time! Swung on swings! Jumped on the tramp! Even climbed on top of the house! lol! The kids had a blast! We watched movies all night and slept on the big couch! We woke up and came home! Such a fun little adventure! We sure do enjoy getting out of the house during this covid quarantine!

Happy Easter!

 It's Easter! Can't believe it!! What a beautiful Easter day it has been! The kids were up early to see it the Easter Bunny found them and as you can see he sure did! Penny kept saying "mom the Easter bunny did so good this year"! lol He sure did! Just look at the jumbo new Easter baskets he brought full of the fun surprises!! Yay! Love it!

 All dressed up and no where to go! lol Normally we head off to church in our best Easter Sunday dress! Well church is now at home due to the dang covid virus! We still get dressed in our Sunday best! We sing primary songs, say scripture and prayer! Chad gets to pass us the Sacrament and we both give a beautiful weekly come follow me lesson to our kids! It's definitely strange but I love being with my family and am so grateful we can bring and feel the spirit in our home each week! Today was more special! We focused on Jesus's Resurrection! Because of him we are an eternal family! Because of him we can live again! Because of him I can see my mom again! So many things I can list off because of him! I'm grateful for my Heavenly Father and Jesus in my life!

 

I do my kids pictures every year for Easter and this year they all wanted to hold their new picture of Jesus! I love these faces so much! They make my heart burst!

 

Sweet babies! What a beautiful Easter it has been! I love my eternal family! Happy Easter! #helives #becauseofhim

Surprise!

The last few Easters it's been our tradition to go to St. George to be with my sister's family and hit up every egg hunt around her town! lol Well do to covid-19 once again all events cancelled and closed! Ugh! We have been so sad! We still wanted to see her sweet little family and our original camping plans got cancelled as well so we drove up to Eryka's just for the day and Surprised her and her family! and come to my surprise my brother was already there visiting! We had such a wonderful time together! Eryka even gave my honz and Cash both a fresh cut (all salons in Vegas closed)! They needed it! lol We couldn't do anything out and about up there either but had such a wonderful time visiting and seeing each other! My sister and family were so surprised and my brother too! lol Piper cried when it was time to go home! lol Love my family so much! What a blessed day!

Easter Fun!

 

 Today we started our day with the world wide 24 hr fast! We need this covid-19 to go away so we can start our small businesses back up again and everyone else in our same situation! We just need life back to normalicy!

 Before the day ended we had tons of fun decorating eggs! If you know me you know I don't do dye messes or really any messes at all! lol So my kids have only died eggs 1 time at my sisters house last year! lol So thankfully we went to Bailey and Reese's (my kids babysitters) house to make a mess there! lol Actually it wasn't that bad at all!The kids did so good and loved it! I was so proud of their creativity! They are just the best! Such a fun new tradition....Dying Eggs! :)

Drive By Easter Basket Drop Off!

 

When your on lock down you get surprise "drive by" visits! lol! My sweetest dad and Janeen took a drive out to my house with Gus to "drive by" and drop my kids a huge Easter basket full of eggs, treats and  peeps! The kids were jumping for joy and absolutly loved it! I especially loved it too! Had no idea they were coming! It made our whole day! We had to snap a couple pics to document how crazy the times are that we visit from a truck 6ft from each other! lol They didn't get out they literally drove up dropped the basket to Penny.... I snapped the pics.... and said Hi- I love you- Thank you- and Bye! Quickest surprise ever! 

We normally have our annual big Easter money egg hunt up at my dad's every year! But with the crazy virus and being quarantined they had to cancel! So sweet of them to come "drive by" and bring my kids an Easter basket surprise! It was so fun!!! Best day ever!

Spring Break Quarantine Style!

 Happy spring break quarantine style! We wear masks when we go out and when  I say go out we go to the grocery store! There's not much we can do but we sure have found the fun in it! Our wonderful neighbors let my kids swim in their pool! Kids stay in their "day jammies" most everyday! lol We took advantage of no one being down at the strip and finally got the "Las Vegas" sign picture taken! lol I have wanted to  do this my whole life but never wanted to wait with all the tourists! lol We did it! Piper had fallen a sleep so she's not in the picture! She'll have to see it when she takes her own family some day! lol Drove the strip at night! It's crazy how there is no one around! My kids loved it! We loved seeing the hotel rooms lit up with Hearts or sayings! All I can say is Wow! Crazy times we are living in! What a spring break to remember! We went no where and really did nothing but had a great week  together! lol
