Easter plus 2 weeks

Easter was a beautiful weekend up here. Chris and I decided to go super low-key and so we hit up the dollar store to stock the kids baskets. (I bought the girls baskets from Target when each turned 2 and I'm so happy that they have survived. Asher's works twice a year for Halloween and Easter). Then we had an egg hunt and it was just quiet and fun. I love the insanity of a cousin hunt but to have one with just our mini-fam was delightful.

Since Easter fell on General Conference weekend I went to target the following week and bought the kids their easter clothes. Saves you about $15 - $20 bucks doing it this way cause everything is on clearance so I started a new tradition. We're going to get better pictures but these will have to do for now (Jocelyn was a super helper this past Sunday so she didn't make it into the photo).

Ok, seriously isn't Asher looking awesome with his longer hair?! It only looks this good after bath and product. Then when he rolls around it gets all weird but at least I got these pics of him before church. And of course he looks studly in his jacket and tie.

Cecily hates this dress cause it itches her. She was so loud about it during primary I just sent her home with Chris. But I love her dress.

The night we bought these clothes was a default date. Chris took me to a nice dinner and then to a surprise activity. Roller Derby!!! Except it was on Saturday not Friday. It seems like everytime we get a babysiter our date falls apart. We still had fun shopping but how awesome would it have been to go to a real roller derby?!

This past weekend we spent cleaning the carpet. Once carpet was cleaned Chris suggested rearranging the family room. We're digging the new arrangement. We put part of the sectional up in our room and left the larger part downstairs with the recliner. We also moved my computer desk, it's still in the same spot just a different angle and it works so well. Plus it's awesome to have a couch up in our room. We were so exhausted by the end of the day we didn't finish putting away a lot of little things and left the house pretty messy when we went to bed. Jocelyn woke up early the next morning (Sunday) and cleaned everything up on her own while Chris and I slept in. It looked so nice and I was so happy and made a big deal about it so she would do it again someday.

I think that's basically it. Here are some random pictures of Asher. He's a pretty entertaining little boy. We're having a lot of fun with him around.

Wearing sister's dress up shoes and dancing.

He only wears this hat backwards. I was trying to take a picture of him watching Ponyo (which he LOVES!) but he kept following me and sticking out his tongue. This is the only way I can get dinner prepared. Putting Ash in his highchair and turning on a movie. Otherwise he's all over the counter and will open the oven, turn on the stove or mess with the knives. He's pretty scary.
