Dressing Up

Tyler loves to dress up - whether it's putting our shoes (this is daily) or an all-out costume from the dress-up bin. During the month of March when it seemed unlikely that we'd ever be able to leave our house due to all the snow, dressing up became a favorite pasttime around our house. Here are some fun pics of Tyler trying out different styles:

He got a bit of help with this ensemble

"Cheese!"

This next outfit Tyler picked out all by himself...

Yep, this is going in the "Show to future girlfriends" file

Sometimes it's more fun to hide in a basket

Tyler doesn't mind all those pillows!

Tyler found Nathan's boots- he can't wait to grow into them!

That's my cute boy :)

Easter 2010

The candy-eating started early this year with special packages from both Grandma's filled with candy for the kids- you can see how excited they were to open up the package and see what's inside!

Oh the anticipation!

Thank you Grandmas for all the special treats!!

What?! There's more??

We decorated eggs this year over Easter weekend. It was a lot of fun and a little messy - as you can see Natalie was much more into it than the boys!

On Easter morning (after the initial sugar rush died off) the kids decided to set up camp in the living room while we watched General Conference.

Later in the day they decided to dress up...

My superhero boys!

As I tried to get them to do different things for the camera Natalie and Nathan would do it while Tyler would watch... then Tyler would do it a few seconds later. It was so funny to watch!

First Natalie...then Tyler!

How they make us laugh!

My Easter Bunnies!

Can you see all the fresh snow behind them? It looked more like Christmas than Easter here at our house!

"Snow!"

Sitting down for a fabulous Easter dinner - glazed spiral cut ham, cheesy scalloped potatoes, glazed carrots, and bread. YUM!

Thank you Sam's for a delicious and cute Easter dessert!

(Tyler can't figure out why we're waiting to eat it!)

Happy Easter!!!

Fun with Dad!

The other day we all went to the mall - a rare experience for our family! Usually just Natalie and I go when we have our "girl days" but this time we dragged the boys along with us. The kids had a lot of fun with Dan while I got some shopping done - thanks babe for helping out! :)

They loved riding the carousel at the food court - see Natalie riding her favorite animal? a cat of course!

(you can probably guess what she wished for... a cat!)

Peppermint Place

Dan recently surprised us by taking the family to this incredibly cute and fun candy store that he found one day while running. They make their own candy and chocolate treats in a nearby factory - of course this is our new favorite place to visit!

Tyler quickly understood the purpose of the shopping basket

Natalie loved all the cute lollipops they had

Can you tell Nathan is in heaven?

A great place to escape the snow!

Peppermint Place is located in American Fork, UT in case you live nearby and want to visit it. Our family highly recommends it!! :)
