HAPPY EASTER!!!

For Easter this year we spent the morning with Monte's family and the afternoon with my family! It's really nice to be so close to both sides of the family! It makes for a crazy and busy time around the holidays, but tons of fun and really great memories!!!
Megan with Uncle Andy!
So many people tell me that Megan looks so much like her mommy...but I gotta say that she looks alot like the Johnson side of the family! I always take the compliment though because Megan is such a pretty baby!
Grandma Johnson and all but three of her grandbabies!
Megan, Wyatt, Jared, and Arie

Gotta love the photo's taken with the camera on a timer....nobody knows when the camera flashes, especially when the sun is in your eyes!
From L -R...Brett, Andy, Grandma, Megan, Me, Wyatt, Monte, Jared, Vince, Kjersti, and Arie

Wyatt and Megan in their Easter Sunday best!
Cool Wyatt and Cute Megan
I LOVE these two like crazy!!!
Geoff letting the kids loose for the Easter Egg Hunt at Grandma and Grandpa McCombs house!
Wyatt took his time hunting for candy while Annacy was a mad woman and found tons on candy and eggs! She was really good at sharing with Wyatt and Simon though!
I didn't have any Easter baskets for the kids this year and I really didn't want to go out and buy any so we made our own out of the plastic milk cartons from Sam's Club. You can't really see from the pictures but they turned out pretty cute! I have to thank Nicole Andrus and Emily Marshall for the milk carton idea from what they did for the kids in nursery last year on Easter!
Wyatt was supposed to hunt for things from the Easter Bunny that were orange! Orange has been his favorite color for a long time now so he had no problem picking out the orange wrapped goodies hidden in the yard!

Isn't she just a doll!!!
Aunt Jessie, Megan, and Slim G (aka Geoff to most people)
Aunt Jessie is my late Grandmother's sister. It is so great to have her around, I almost feel as if my Grandma is with us when we get to visit with Jessie! She is such a fun lady!
OOOOOHHHHH! I see something that I can chew on! See ya later Ezra....I'm off to better things than these lame baby toys that our mom's put out for us to play with!!!!
Okay, so Megan loves getting into trouble when she is down on the floor! She is always looking for fun things to eat, chew on, or just put in her mouth! I literally can not have her out of my site for longer than 30 seconds without her getting something nasty or dangerous in her mouth! So I am always putting her binki back in her mouth or I have to hold her or just watch her like a hawk! She is seriously out of control and it drives me crazy! Now that she is scooting around she finds things from a distance and slowly gets to it and BAM she is eating something or chewing on something that she shouldn't! It worries the heck out of me, so when she is awake I can't get much of anything done because she is always finding something! Even if I just swept, or vacuumed, or cleaned up....she is always able to find something to taste!!!
"I'm not crawling yet, but I am able to get around especially when I see something that I want! I better get there fast before my mom see's it and takes it away!"
"Yes!!!! I got it! MMMmmmmm....this looks yummy! I can't wait to see what it tastes like!
I gotta hurry though before mom sees me....she's such a drag and always likes to ruin my fun and exploring!"
"Grandpa has big feet...where should I start?!"
" UH OH! I think I got caught...I'll try to play it innocent so I can get a taste in before my mom takes it away and ruins all the yummy fun."
" I'll start simple so it's not so obvious, then I'll get to the good part....the bottom of the shoe!"
Well, she DOES usually get to the good part before I can take it away! I will find her chewing on a shoe...so I take it away and all the other shoes in sight....the next thing I know she has found some shoe somewhere else and has that one in her mouth too! I am so thankful and surprised that she hasn't gotten sick from her nasty "shoe in mouth" addiction...on the other hand maybe it is just making her immume system stronger! Who knows....all I know is that it's sick and she loves it!!!

You gotta LUB this CHUB!!
Ezra is so sweet...it's usuallyu never hard to get a cute smile from this little big guy!
I love this picture for a lot of reasons!!! First of all because it is so cute and so sweet of him! He always has such good eye contact with the camera! I also love it because just a few months ago Ezra was not able to move his head to look up in this position because of the distractors that he had placed in his chin. Now that he is free of all that hardware he has full range of motion. I don't think many of us realized how much he was limited until he got them out!
Geoff was able to come to Reno for Easter and stay a few days thanks to being able to make it into a work trip! It's always nice to have Geoff for a visit!
I gotta add...doesn't my mom look so cute in this picture!!!
Uncle Geoff and Ezra!!!
Well, we had a great Easter weekend! We are so grateful for such wonderful families and are so blessed to have the knowledge that the Lord lived and died for us and that He lives again!

Your daughter has amazing blue eyes! They are beautiful. I think your kids are a really good mix of both of you. Some pictures they look like you some they look like Monte. You guys have good genes!
