Easter&Rugby

Poor Sierra got Strep throat two days before Easter. I know if this girl says she has a sore throat, it is no lie and I better take her in. 3 cases of strep in the last 2.5 years, not enough for the Dr. to call her a "strep carrier" tho.  The only reason I'm making time to blog right now is cause I'm in bed with a sore throat hoping it will miraculously go away so I don't have to visit the Dr. tomorrow.

Here are our friends all ready for the egg hunt at our house. Adam has been gone the past two Easters and I haven't wanted to take 4 kids to an egg hunt on my own, so I've talked a few families into joining me at my house for a EZ hunt.

The giant stuffed animals were hand-me-downs from a neighbor. Tristan was truly sad that Ruby was given the big bunny and not him. Sigh.

We have an insanely generous neighbor (besides Gram and Pop), who spoils the kids with treats every holiday. These are gift bags from Betsy with custom made name tags.

We went to my parent's ward at the Boulder Stake center on Easter Sunday. I was trying for a photo opp.

We call this "pulling a Grandma Judy" (when my brother was blessed as a baby, Grandma Judy took lots of pics during sacrament), but I was sneaky about it. My kids were able to join in the primary choir. I was trying to get a pic of the girl on the front row's head band, but she turned her head. Seriously the flowers and feathers were as big as a bowling ball, maybe bigger. I couldn't look at anything else.

My siblings are now raising ducks and chicks to sell the eggs. Cute little things.

Rugby has begun! The first practice was 37* and raining, so miserable. The next practice (two days later) was 70* and perfect...except Sierra got tackled by this kid and thinks she broke her wrist.

Sierra's first major dental work experience. She had a second row of "shark teeth" coming in and had to get a stubborn baby tooth out of the way. I should have called this post "Sierra is sure costing her dad a lot of money this week".
