We had a fun and busy Easter weekend. The Saturday before Easter we went to an egg hunt at Bitter Lake Park. Then drove to Puyallup to meet up with family to do a egg hunt at South Hill Mall. It was fun, with lots of kid activities. Then we went out to dinner. Then, the Easter bunny came Sunday morning and we enjoyed church.

Nick on Easter morning. I love how kids look when they just wake up. He was so "egg"-cited to see that the Easter bunny had come.
We recently returned from a trip to Nebraska for my baby sister, Kim's wedding. She was a beautiful bride and I couldn't be happier for her. Dave is awesome. Here are some pictures.

Me and my 7 siblings. Ok, there is 6 out of my 7 siblings and one cardboard cut out of Zac, who is on his mission in Switzerland right now. We plan to mail these pictures to his mission president to get him in trouble:)
One of the best moments of the trip was watching Nick dance with his cousin Gabby. He looked so handsome in his vest suit, and had such good posture and was twirling her all around the dance floor. We dance around the house all the time, so it was fun to see all of my dance training pay off.
Every night for the past few months, once the kids were asleep, you could find me scrapbooking. My latest project was a baby book for my sister's little girl. I am sad that I didn't take a few pictures to post on the blog before I gave it to her, but imagine the cutest scrapbook you have ever seen, and that is what it looked like:) Just joking!
I did get a little burnt out. I actually said to myself a few times, I am sick of scrapbooking, but it passes really quickly. I love doing it.
*A special thanks to Douglas Price who put up with a scrapbooking mess every day for the past few months, and on and off for the past 6 years. Love ya!
