Easter at the Sand Dunes

So we went to the Dunes for easter this year. Good times. The kids cried buckets when it was time to leave. Or should I say baskets. You know, cuz of all the Easter Bask... oh never mind.
Here are the kids coloring eggs....

Now, all you readers who believe in the Easter bunny better close your eyes while you read this next part because I don't want to spoil anyone's easter dreams.

I have always been completely honest when it comes to if the freaking Easter Bunny is real. Which he isn't.

(gasp, sigh, OMG!!)

Yes, I tell my kids the truth about "him" and by-golly I think that is good because he's a BUNNY people! No white fluffy bunny is going to bring all the kids around the world baskets filled with candy and toys, and then manage to squeeze in hiding all the kids easter eggs. I think it is ok to break that one to them. Austin on the other hand, well he doesn't believe me. I think he caught on though when I said "Ok, now we are going to hide your eggs so don't peak!"

Silly kids.

So then the Egg Hunt began. Here's a game for you. Can you find the egg in the picture below?

Austin! You weren't supposed to tell them!

In case you can't tell, I am not a huge fan of easter. I shouldn't even use the word "fan" because I actually despise it. You know, all the eggs, bunnies, baskets, have-to-have dinners, the pastels, can't stand it. Sorry. So we just get the kids a tiny little present that they would enjoy instead of a plethora of candies and chocolates. Here is what they got.
Then it all started over again! They wanted to do yet another easter egg hunt, so we let them. Here is Austin and his cousins doing a mad-dash.

Look at these cute little ragamuffins. Zoe was taking a nap by the way when this was all going down.

That's all folks.

This is what I have been doing...


Travis's sister asked me to do her wedding pictures a few weeks ago. SO that is why I haven't posted anything in a year! I have been working on these pictures and it was totally fun. Wanna see a few of them????

We had to totally "re-do" her cake. When she brought it home from the place that she had it made, she thought it was a total disaster, so we had to totally strip it back down to white and start over. It looked completely different from the original!

Anyway, there's a few of the pictures. Hopefully I will be posting more often now that I have finished them!
