Easter Fun

We had tons of fun this past weekend. It started off with an Easter Egg hunt at Aunt Katy's house. We had 10 of the grandkids there. Katy's yard was perfect for finding eggs. As soon as we opened the doors they were off. Oak caught on really quick and found a bunch of eggs.

It was fun to see all the little ones with their baskets.

Then, after the egg hunt and dinner, the kids played a little Red Rover. It was Oakley's first time, and he didn't really get it, cause every time they called someone's name, he would just start running to the other side, but he would never run into their arms, he'd just stop. I guess he still needs work on that game.

Then on Saturday morning I decided to take Oak to our city Easter egg hunt at Cottonwood Heights. There were a ton of people there and Oakley was so patient to wait until the horn blew. They had different sections for all the age groups so we were in the 0-2 group. When the horn blew we ran out and were only able to grab 2 eggs before they were all gone. Some of the kids didn't get any. There were some volunteers walking around with baskets full of eggs that they were throwing out, so we got a few more, but it was a joke. I don't know why they didn't spread all of those out too, cause they were just getting mawled for the eggs. Anyway, I had never been to a public one before, but I don't think we'll go back again after that.

Here's Oak saying, "Where'd all the eggs go?"

We did get a few and I let him eat the treats right there.

The only good thing was that there was a fire truck and Oakley got to climb on it. We did get a free book too.

Then later Saturday night we headed to the McKnight's and had fun with Oakley's cousins, Scoot and Lily. It was the first time for Oakley to dye eggs. He loved it, and it wasn't even that messy.

The grandkids love their grandpa!

Then the Easter Bunny came and left fun little buckets for the kids, and tons of eggs. Oakley loved running around finding all the eggs he could. I think this is the way to go from now on.

We had a great weekend with lots of treats, and lots of family.

Where we've been

I haven't posted anything for a while cause I've been too busy playing volleyball. It seems like everyone wants to squeeze one more indoor tournament in before the nice weather comes and everyone moves their game outside. Two weeks ago, I went to Vernal with some girlfriends and had a great time playing there. We had so much fun reminiscing and enjoying each others company, and we played great. We did have to find a sub after the second match cause one of the girls sprained her ankle. It didn't help that she's like 7 months pregnant. We ended up taking 3rd place after being screwed in the seeding of the tournament, which if you know me is a big deal. I was pretty upset about it. Anyway, we had a great time and had some good laughs. Then this past weekend Wes and I left Oakley with his parents and we went to Moab and played in a coed tournament. It was beautiful down there and we had tons of friends to hang out with. Our team was awesome, and we ended up taking 1st place after having to fight back from the losers bracket. It was really a fight too. The championship match went 3 games, all of them 2 points apart, and then since we won that we had to play an "if" game to win the whole thing. We barely won that 28-26. It was intense, but so exciting when we finally won. I admit I was jumping and screaming so loud that I peed a little. :) Well, no pictures, cause I forgot my camera on both trips, but at least you know we're still alive and hanging in there.
