Easter 2011

This Easter for some reason I kept forgetting my camera.

• Easter egg hunt at the park: forgot my camera (my phone takes horrible pictures, especially when people are running).


• Easter egg hunt/party at Grandma Zauggs: forgot my camera.


• Easter egg hunt/party at Grandma Hauns: REMEMBERED my camera, took two really bad pictures and then ran out of memory.

Nice.

Even Easter morning didn't go so well becaue it was too cold to take the kids outside to get some nice, springtime pictures in their church clothes. (Sidenote: What the @#$%^ is up with the snow this morning?!?!? It is April 26th for hecks sakes. ENOUGH ALREADY!) And even inside the nice warm house, it seemed impossible to take a halfway decent picture of all three kids at the same time. Here are the best I could do:

Cora, look at the camera! Arden, don't blink!

*sigh*

I gave up and did them one at a time, and I must admit it is much easier. Here is my little Corbie:

Okay, how cute is she??? She has been in her toddler bed for about a month now, and for whatever reason she NEVER gets out of it at night. It. Is. Awesome. She even calls for me to come and get her out of bed in the mornings. She knows that she CAN get in and out because she gets in and out during the day to get toys out or whatever, but for some reason she hasn't even tried to get out after bedtime. Jealous much? (I hope it lasts!)

And here is my little man:

Is that one good-lookin' little dude or what? Wow, he is growing up into a handsome little guy so fast. Right now (besides dinosaurs) his favorite thing is the color GREEN. He has to eat out of the green bowl. He has to drink out of the green cup. Every night he asks me to sing him "La La Lu" as a lullaby. One of the lines in that song is "Here comes a pink cloud for you," and he commands that I change it to "Here comes a green cloud for you," each night. I don't know about you, but a green cloud doesn't sound so great to me, but whatever. One of his favorite songs is "Yellow Submarine," but now he sings it as "Green Submarine." And don't try to tell him his eyes aren't green, he won't believe you. It goes on and on.

And here is my beautiful Arden:

She gave her first talk in Primary on Easter Sunday, and she did great! I know she was nervous, but you wouldn't have been able to tell by watching her, she was amazing. She also got moved up to the advanced gymnastics class this week, and is now referred to as a "Little Flipper Girl." I am one proud mom.

It was a great Easter! I am a little sad that it is over, especially since they won't be selling any Cadbury mini-eggs so I won't be able to get my cookie fix after this batch is gone. Hopefully the withdrawal symptoms are not too bad.
