Easter

So I'm a bad mom...I know this but am constantly reminded by other people's blogs. I did not take cute Easter pics of my kids this year and truth be told I didn't even get them a special outfit. I know, you are probably shaking your head with unbelief...and how I keep my kids is a shock to me too! But we didn't have traditional church this year on Easter so I really didn't see the point, but we are having out Easter program this Sunday so maybe I will take pics then and since you are all my good friends you will forgive and forget...right? We did however go over to my mother-in-laws house for a fun BBQ and kids had a great time. She did baskets, so I am kind of glad that I slacked off, we have candy coming out of our ears! And I am not really on board with the whole presents for Easter thing, but she made up for that too.

Zach is riding a fun toy at Grandma's house. She has to coolest stuff.

We let them play in a new sprinkler toy and they weren't super excited about that, but they did like watching it. That's right, it was warm enough to play outside in swimsuits. And I saw some people had snow...hmm, sounds good to me. We will definitely try it again when it gets even hotter.

Stuart surprised Max and Gracie with the sprinkler. I love how Max is running away, sorry it's not the greastest picture.

Zach did not really want to get wet, he would rather venture over to the neighbors house.Gracie is watching the sprinkler from a safe distance.

It was a fun, relaxing Easter this year spent with family. I was together with some women of different faiths a few days before Easter and it was great to hear their take on Easter but I really noticed that they focused on the death of Christ, and yes I know that this is a huge part of the story, but I am more touched by the story of Christ in Gethsemane and how he was willing to take on the sins of the world so we could someday live with him and our Heavenly Father if we just repent and follow him.
