Our Easter 2010

This year we had a really good, but busy Easter. Easter morning we were woken up by the kids, they wanted to see if the Easter bunny had come. Lucky them, he did.

The boys were really excited to see what they got this year, Jaedyn had no clue what was going on even though the boys were asking her if she was excited. Jaron got a new Bionicle, another "Diary of a Wimpy Kid" do it yourself book, a baseball set (complete with a tee and home plate), and LOTS of candy. Jantzen got a little Gresh Bionicle (Josh has been teasing him about this for a long time. When Janzten asked for a little green Gresh, Josh would say, "You want a little green dress?" Jantzen would always get frustrated with him), a sticky ball catch thingy, a new "Cars" puzzle, a slinky (so him and Jaron won't fight over Jaron's anymore), a new microphone (the last one got broken at preschool), and TONS of candy. The candy they were the most excited for was the cotton candy.







When Josh sat Jaedyn down by her basket, she didn't know what to think. In her basket she got six new outfits, a pack of binky's, a pair of shoes, three new movies (Tinkerbell and the Lost Treasure, Alice in Wonderland, and Sleeping Beauty), and some Gerber treats. Notice the first thing she grabbed for...her shoes, that's my girl! She was very fascinated with her Easter goodies and has been enjoying her new treats. Now I get to make new hair bows to match her new outfits. She's too much fun to dress!




After the kids got their baskets, Josh and I started making our traditional Sunday morning conference breakfast. It was kind of fun that it happened on Easter this year. For breakfast we have German pancakes, eggs, bacon, sausage, hash browns, and orange julius. The orange julius was extra yummy this time. We started to watch conference as we ate and then enjoyed the rest of conference when we were done. Thank goodness for TIVO, we didn't miss any of the talks. They were really good this time around.

When conference was over we decided to have our annual "Goddard Easter Egg Hunt"...it's nothing fancy, it just sounds like it is. I hid the eggs, 87 to be exact, and then we let Jaron and Jantzen loose to find them. It wasn't that hard, but they had a blast finding them. Josh did get to some of them before the boys did. We sat Jaedyn down on the grass and gave her some eggs to play with so she could be a part of the fun, but the wind was bugging her and so this is the cute face I got from her. I think that's the same face I give Josh when he's irritating me. She did start to play with the eggs and have fun though, despite the windy day.









Here's Josh with his little princess...I love her face in this picture.


After our egg hunt we enjoyed a yummy Easter dinner made mostly by Josh. Then we were able to attend a baptism for a new family in our ward. It was awesome to be able to be a part of this special day for them and what a wonderful day to get baptized.

I am grateful for all the blessings my Heavenly Father has given to me and my family and for the sacrifice that the Savior made so that I can be with my family forever. I look forward to spending eternity with my wonderful family.
