More Pictures of the Kids

Here are some more pictures of Julia and Ethan hanging out around the house.

Julia and Ethan love to do box (car) rides around the house.

Julia is always wanting to wear dresses and if we don't put them on her, she puts them on herself. Unfortunately she had a little trouble with this one. Although she didn't think it was very funny when we were taking the pictures of her instead of helping her out, she did laugh later when we showed the pictures to her.

How the dress is really supposed to look.

Easter Celebrations

We haven't posted for a while because we were hoping to keep our house pictures at the top of our blog for as long as possible. However, after taking some great Easter pictures of the kids we just couldn't resist.

Julia and Ethan both participated in Easter egg hunts at church and at home (we just reused the eggs from church for their home Easter egg hunt). Julia loved looking for all of the eggs and was very speedy in finding them all. Ethan sat and watched and was satisfied opening all of the eggs that Julia had found. Lucky for Julia, Ethan is still not eating sweets and so she only had to share her eggs with her parents (we call it the parent tax--hopefully there will be no Boston tea parties when she gets older and thinks it is unfair--Joshua already ate almost all of her peeps).

That evening we had some people over from our ward to share our Easter meal with. We all had a wonderful time.

We all missed being around family for this holiday though. I think Joshua especially wanted to participate in the adult Easter egg hunt at his parents' home.
