Happy Easter!

Friends, fun, and General Conference—our relaxed Easter weekend was wonderful!

Dying the Easter Eggs

It's pretty fun to color the Easter eggs when we have our friends Robert and Briana there to enjoy it with us!

The big kids were playing basketball today ... with Calvin's favorite green basketball that Santa brought him for Christmas. He wasn't thrilled with the situation. So, I asked him to take a special walk just with Mom!

Things Calvin Jesse said on our walk:

"Mom! I'm a good runner! I'm fast!" [as he's running ahead]

"Sneak, sneak, sneak, sneak!" [as we're going around a parked car]

"Oh my gosh! Look at that big bush! It's dead!"

"Little purple poopies touched with yellow pee!" [upon seeing pansies]

"Mom, can we stop now? I can't walk all the time." [upon deciding to play with the monster truck car he'd been alternately carrying and chewing on]

"Mom, can you hold me?" ... "MOM!!!"

And then finally there was the following conversation, which I think just about sums up his 4.5-year-old self:

[Jenny]: "Calvin, who do you want to be like when you grow up?"

[Calvin]: "A truck."

[Jenny]: "You don't want to be like a person? You want to be like a truck?"

[Calvin]: "Yeah."

We sure love him.

We had a great time yesterday at the park with a cute group of friends! Calvin was really getting into the egg hunt :)

On a walk with Calvin today

Plus the most patriotic picture I've ever taken: me, bronze replica of the Declaration of Independence, an ever-lit torch, and a flag!

Spring Recital

Calvin Jesse's preschool spring recital was very entertaining. We are proud of him for keeping his clothes on and not running off the stage or crying (all of which happened during the recital at some point). And he only poked the girl with the shiny blue dress once. (We talked about that afterwards.)

The best part? Daddy took an early lunch so he could come!
