Happy Easter

We had Dave's sister, LaNae, Brad and their 5 girls come up for Easter weekend to spend part of their Spring Break with us before heading up to Springdale to visit Brad's family. Their girls decided that they wanted to come up to Las Vegas to go shooting and as some of you know, Dave has quite the arsenal to provide such entertainment. And he's also willing to help anyone along in becoming as "redneck" as he is, a trait in which he is ecstatic about!! We spent Friday evening out in Boulder City where the kids went bowling and then had a pizza picnic dinner at the park. We then left all the kids, (except for Katelyn who was feeling a little under the weather from shots earlier in the week and then being out in the sun for a little too long which then brought on vomiting and dehydration) with Chantelle, Natalie and Jacob (the 3 oldest cousins) so the adults could go out to dinner. Then on Saturday all the big kids went shooting after lunch followed by a dip in the pool to cool off. Dave bbq'd tritip for everyone which was then followed by the biggest egg hunt in history, I'm sure. We didn't bother counting the eggs, but there was enough for everyone (7 kids) to take home as many as they wanted, or as were allowed by the parents. And bags and baskets were filled all around. Time management isn't our strong point when we are all together and socializing, so yes, they hunted for eggs in the dark. Katelyn and Danielle, the youngest in the group had the backyard to themselves to start out. And then were joined by the rest of the herd.


Katelyn wasn't too sure at first, but with Chantelle to help her she quickly caught on.


Danielle following Natalie around to gather the eggs.



I love this one because it looks like she is shaking the egg to see if there's anything "good" in it.



Look at loot, dad. Doesn't the smile just say it all?



Off on her own.

The drunken sailor look is always good.

Kelsey then joined the bunch.



An egg in mid drop. No worries, it didn't "break."



Elise in the palm tree.

Check out my eggs, dad.

We dyed the eggs Sunday night after dinner, a tradition Katelyn was able to participate in this year.

All these eggs and colors on the table and all she's concerned about is the box.


Gotta love the hair. Brings a whole new meaning to let your hair down!!
