What do you do on Sunday night?

Last Sunday night Mallory invited us all to her "silly party" which ended up being very, very silly. All the girls had a great time dancing and wearing their undies on their heads. Did you know there are many, many ways to actually wear underwear on one's head? This picture displays one of the configurations our girls came up with.

On Saturday, Rachel (Nathan's sis) and I ran in our very first half-marathon. I think we both had a good time. The trails were gorgeous through the Thanksgiving Point gardens and golf course. I'm in no way a fast runner, but I've found it's something I really enjoy doing and a great way to get some "me/release" time. Thanks to Nathan for helping me accomplish my goal, as well as Crystal (Nathan's other sis) who encouraged me to do it in the first place.

This post is a "tad" overloaded with Jaren pictures. In my own defense, my sister-in-law Hannah asked for more photos of him (see comments in previous post). I do enjoy showing him off though. We think he is just soooo sweet and sooo cute. He's not too big on smiling yet, but when he does, it melts my heart.

Grandma Cardon is here for a visit. She never fails in bringing a hefty supply of gifts and goodies for the kids. Here they all are in their new Sunday clothes she brought them.

Very cute big boy outfit from Grandma Cardon.

Mia was thrilled to feed her little bro a bottle. She did a great job too.

Jeans and a Henley...ummm...I am sorry, but he's a doll.



Jaren sporting a very cute button-up Marci let us use. He is a handsome boy.

Very cute Easter dresses brought to us by Grandma Jill. I thought they looked so darling...even if the picture isn't the greatest.

Eggcellent

We got to spend Easter/conference weekend with my family. It was a good time. Sunday afternoon the weather cooperated quite nicely, and we were able to have an Easter egg hunt. I think hunting for eggs at Grandmas's house is one of my girls' favorite traditions.




Yes, Claire does have telekinetic powers.

The sun was shining and they just could smile or open their eyes.

All I can say is awww...sweet.

My kind mother and lovely cousin Dayna. Dayna was sweet enough to hang with us crazies for a couple days this weekend. We had fun with her - very easy-going and helpful.

The Easter Bunny made it to Grandma Jill's house this year. The girls were quite excited about it and peeked at their baskets before their parentals had woke up. They did a good job of pretending to be surprised when we finally arrived to watch them check out all their stuff.



The girls had a great time coloring eggs this year and were grateful Claire was so good at breaking her eggs so they could eat the insides.



Jaren is growing up some...no longer in the preemie size and nearly out of the newborn size. That's good to see. He's still an angel and we are all loving him.

Mallory's preschool teacher is having a baby in April so she called it quits a little early in the school year. We got to go to her graduation last week. It was so fun to see her sing her best and show us some of the things she learned this year.

3 weeks.

Before church.
