Easter Weekend




We had such a fun Easter Weekend this year! Normally we go to my mom's for a ham dinner on Easter Sunday, but since she's gone and most of my family doesn't live in Utah anymore, it made more sense when Larry's mom, Marie, asked us if we wanted to go up to his Uncle Thayne's in Erda for an Easter celebration. The house was beyond gorgeous and they had so much land for all the kids to have fun with! They had sidewalk chalk, bubbles, baby goats, a puppy, some yard toys, and an Easter Egg Hunt all for the kids. The adults just sat around talking and then we BBQ'd some food and ate and talked some more. It's definitely something I'd like to make a new tradition!

It was pretty funny because as we were driving there I saw a bunch of houses with baby goats and thought they were so cute I kept telling Larry I wanted to play with them (but knew I couldn't since who knows who lived in those places). Well we show up to his uncle's and the first thing I see are his baby goats, I was so excited and wasted almost no time going into their area to pet them. They were so soft and made the cutest little "baa" sound. At one point all the little children were away from them and I decided to go in to take pictures, but when I went into their fenced in area I couldn't see them right away so I started calling for them and all of a sudden I see both of them just bounding towards me baa-ing the whole way. It was so freaking adorable!

Cailyn was such a crack up during the egg hunt, she just wanted to open each egg as she found them. She didn't care to get a lot of eggs, but luckily she had a grandma and aunt there to help her get more. Once they were done she just cracked them all open, more interested in the candy than the toys, but it was still really funny. She also found, what I'm calling, a kissing cousin. She kept playing with this one boy and he seemed pretty obsessed with making sure she played with him too, it was really cute. And then, after we all ate, she got to play some b-ball with her daddy and uncle, I think she liked that a lot.

It was such a nice day out, it was nice to feel and smell the warmth and sit outside to enjoy it. I even made a joke that I was excited to wear capris and a tank top with no jacket (though I did bring one for when it got chilly, I just didn't wear it most of the time). I think the heat took it out of Larry though; We had plans to go see a movie afterwards and when we got home to get one of our gift cards he just passed out on the floof for a bit before we had to leave. The movie ended up being a bust, but the rest of the day was so fun and nice and I loved every minute of it.

Today has been really nice too, I decided it's summer dress weather today:

Ignore the no makeup and the fact that it's
A bathroom selfie,
I was just excited to be able to wear
A Summer dress so early!
As far as my workouts, I've only missed like 3 days this month (two were just for no reason, I just felt blah, and the third was because of that movie event from my work-a worthy reason I think!). But I've been killing it when I do workout to help makeup for those days. I'm starting to see little differences, they are small, but at least it's something. For us April has been a great month, no reason to complain so far. I hope those of you who have warm weather are enjoying it and those who don't get it soon!

"Hoppy" Easter Everyone!! :)
