We're Back!!

I hope everyone had a great Easter this year. Ours was pretty good. The kids had lots of fun. We went to a primary Easter egg hunt on Sat. We were late, so the boys didn't get anything. But it was at a park and they were okay with just playing on the toys. Sunday our morning was really rushed. Their church starts at 9. To me that's really early. I like the extra hour that we get here starting at 10. After church was much better. Kirk had a GPS egg hunt for us big kids. That was really fun. He went around town and planted little pieces of paper that gave us our next clue and the only thing we had to help us find them was a GPS. It was out-laws vs. in-laws. Us in-laws won. It was fun. We got movie tickets out of it. Then we filled plastic eggs and hid them all over the front lawn for the kids to find. They thought that was great. We had to give Tyler some rules and limits since he is so much older then the others. He did really good with sticking to them. He even helped the littler ones find some.

We went and fed the ducks at the duck park. That was kind of a bust though. Those stinkin birds were not hungry. So they just chased some around that happened to fly out of the water. I really wish we had a camera that worked so that I could have taken some pictures. Maybe some day we'll be able to afford one. Unless someone just wants to get one for us. That would be great ;)

James thinks he did better on this test than the LA. We still haven't heard back from them. Probably won't since we haven't yet. But there is still hope!! It was so nice to be in the sun. And a big bummer to come home to all of this snow. We got stuck in our driveway trying to get to the house last night! I got emails from the Relief Society Presidency saying that church was cancelled yesterday so people could plow out their driveways! And on Easter they only had sacrament because of snow. It's a little crazy. But we are home and the boys are at school probably falling asleep at their desks. We got in a little late. About 12:15. Now it's laundry time and I really need to clean out my car but their too much snow!!

I'm so glad that you guys got home safely. It sounds like you had a lot of fun in sunny CA. I hope James hears back from his test soon!

I can't believe how much snow you have there! It's been very nice here. It's even 70 degrees today (shocker!).

BTW, the GPS egg hunt sounds like it was really fun.

It sounds like you guys had a great time! I was wondering how long you would be out there.
I'm glad you liked the GPS egg hunt. Jabon gets the rest of us into that with geo-caching, pretty much the same thing but people you don't know has hidden things all over the country (or the world, I don't know), you find it, sign the note pad, and 'claim' it on the website. It can be fun but most times I've gone it has been unsuccessful, so it was a big bummer!

Hopefully he'll here from one of the stations soon!

The GPS searching is a blast! Well fingers are crossed for a call back from a station. I am sure with his tenure and qualifications, he will be picked up somewhere soon.
What happened to your camera?

It's old and kinda pooped out on us. Plus Teagan broke the casing and it doesn't take very good pictures anymore. I don't know if the two are connected or not.
