OUR EASTER WEEKEND


 Besides our family riding horses together is probably what we miss the most, we had to make time for this during our visit.  Everyone had a great time, Anna actually let go of the horn and smiled at the same time.  Hopefully we can get horses to SD soon.
 The McCormick Family Easter Egg Hunt,  it was a great success.  The only hitch was that Tippy (Tana and Scott's dog)  ate some of the eggs before the kids got out there.
Johnson Family Easter Egg Hunt, was also successful.  No dogs at this event but the kids were challenged with questions and activities in order to get their prizes.  Doesn't Grandma J look HOT!


Is Chadd expecting TOO?

 Coloring eggs for the Easter Bunny to hide in the morning



 The kids ate bird nest's they made for dessert, the adults got pie.  I think we did much better.

  We also had an egg hunt with the Alder family Sunday night, but I didn't get any pictures because by then I got lazy with my camera.  We did have tons of fun with all the cousins. We all had great time in Utah, when we drove home Monday we were totally exhausted, it was a long trip home.  Thanks to all those who took time out to spend a minute with us and for planning all the activities.  Thanks to Andrea who planned our friend get together on Friday, it was cold but so good to see everyone.

Easter Weekend

As many know we are coming to Utah for Easter.  We are planning on having a hot dog roast and potluck Friday night.  We are going to be at Bingham Park in West Point at 6:00pm.  We would love to see everyone from the various wards and neighborhoods.  Pass the word and let us know so we can plan.
We love and miss everyone.

Papa, Grandma J, and Chadd come to visit

 The truck pulls in!




We had some visitors for Utah's spring break.  It was awesome to have family here and enjoy there company.  One of the many fun things we did was visit Mt. Rushmore and Custer state park.  The state park is our favorite, we were able to see lots of animals.  Buffalo, wild burrows, turkeys, mule deer, white tail deer, big horn sheep, antelope, a huge herd of elk and lots of birds.  I can't wait until its green, we have been told the summers here are wonderful.  We also went to the Museum of Geology, lots of cool rocks and some fossils too.  Lex started his soccer season and we got to see two games while our company was here.  Speaking of which, we have a huge announcement.
  Lex scored his first goal!!!!!
It was very exciting, too bad our camera wasn't running.  It was raining and windy and basically mom just forgot to bring it.  On Sunday we had another big day, the bishopric was changed in our ward.  Guess what, Daddy Lex is second counselor in the bishopric.  He really does have the knack for being called to the same thing.  It will be interesting to see the differences in the job here.
We are now looking forward to coming to Utah for Easter and being able to see everyone.
