Sunrise

The morning glow at Sunrise amazes me every time! I couldn't help but take a few pictures to cherish later.

 

 

A Day in the City

Today Lily and I accompanied Mr. Stannix to Calgary. He usually makes the trip once or twice a month to attend client meetings or pick up files at his satellite office down there. It's always fun to tag along and eat Costa Vida for lunch and explore Ikea after all is said and done. It was a beautiful day for a drive!

 

Ollie got to show me some of his work at Parent Teacher Interviews tonight. 

Love that kid!

 

The Movie Theatre

This afternoon we took our fam and cousin Kieran to the movies! 

We watched the new Super Mario Bros movie.

Everyone enjoyed their snack box and pop and laughed through the movie.

It had been a while since we had taken the kids out to something like this!

Easter Sunday

This morning Fin woke up sick, so our traditional group photo didn't end up happening, but I did end up getting a picture of the girls in their new Easter dresses (along with some other kiddos who wanted pictures). After church we champed eggs, had egg salad, and got the turkey and dressing cooked up for Easter Dinner!

 

The Easter Bunny Visits

This morning we woke to excited kiddos digging into their Easter baskets and hunting for plastic eggs filled with treats! They played all day long and enjoyed being together. We had a delicious dinner in the evening and enjoyed Grammas pies and traditional marshmallow Easter eggs for dessert! 

 

Birthday & Easter Prep

This weekend some of my siblings came up to celebrate Easter with us! It also happened to be my birthday today, so we enjoyed chinese food (my fave) and ice cream cake for dinner. Afterwards we gathered around the table and decorated Easter eggs. It was so fun to have everyone in our new space! All of the little cousins are so excited to be together!

The Easter bunny made his visit after the littles were all tucked into bed and eggs were hidden to find in the morning. 

 

Easter Ready

While I was at Costco today, I picked up these beautiful blooms for my kitchen table! We are now officially ready for Easter!

 

That Morning Glow

One of the things that I really appreciate with this new section of the house is the way all of the windows let in the morning light. I love the orange glow in our kitchen and living room each morning!

Hyrum's wings turned out pretty great this morning! Snapped a picture to document the coolness.

 

Lily and I made some bread after the kids got off to school! And Daddy's glass door arrived for his office, making the space feel a little more complete!

Wings

Lately the boys have been spending some extra time on their hair in the mornings. I've discovered that these wings are created with a hat and a blow dryer. It's become quite a popular hair style around our house and even Ollie has requested his big bro's help to achieve such greatness before school. It's so funny watching trends resurface. This is apparently the cool way to wear your hair now.

 

Sleepy Heads

We've spent the last two days watching sessions of General Conference. We always end up with a few sleepy heads during the Sunday afternoon session. The way Lily snuggled up with her big sister was super cute!
