Boring Weekend...

Sometimes I wish my life was boring, but it's not we always have 300 things going on. Here are some highlights from our weekend...
Friday morning we woke up to find that our car was missing (again) So we called the cops! they found it and called us back within a few hours (WAHHOO) and so my Mother-in-law (my hero) and I drove ALL THE WAY DOWN TO AUBURN to pick it up...and it wouldn't start- so 3 1/2 hours later the AAA guy (my other hero) towed it back to the Swifts house until we figure out what to do...??????
Then the kids and I came back home and made Easter cookies (like we had planned) and dyed Eggs and I tried to make these really yummy looking Bunny Buns from the friend. I made a double batch and they didn't rise- so I had to throw the WHOLE thing away- so frustrating!


Saturday Morning was much more fun! We woke up early and got cute for Caleb's Court of Honor!!! He was given his Eagle!!


Malachi got to sit in the "Eagle's Nest" and he got all scouted up!




The Court of honor was really fun but we didn't even get to stay for refreshments because we had to RUN to our ward Easter party! It was Great they had an Easter egg hunt and a carnival and a relay race and yummy lunch!!






After that we went home and took some Much needed naps then we went back over to the Swifts for some EASTER FUN and dinner....There were a few different Easter egg hunts and all the Swift family spoiled our kids with tons of treats and presents! It was great to hang out with all of the family! Malachi mostly played outside with all the kids!! What a beautiful day!


On Sunday we woke up early and the Easter bunny had hidden all the eggs we colored and some plastic eggs with candy inside them- and their were some Easter baskets hidden with stuffed animals!!! The kids got new slippers in their baskets and we watched our new Veggie tale Easter movie!!
I tried to re-make the Bunny Buns again and this time they were great! Super Yummy! You should save the recipe for next year!




Then we went to church and OF COURSE learned all about Easter and had lots of special musical numbers. The Primary kids went up on the stage and he stood up there- but didn't sing! Oh well!




Then after church we went to Auntie Manda's house for a yummy dinner (We eat a lot) Apparently I didn't take any pictures, but we had a lovely time and the kids kept hiding and finding the empty Easter eggs!! It's so fun to have so much family around to play with!!




How much fun can we have in one weekend???
