Easter weekend with my family!

I've been so blessed this year! I usually only see my family about 2-3 times a year since we're so spread out, but this year I've gotten to see them a ton!!! I LOVE IT!!! Matthew and Jill are here at BYU, so I see them about once a week/2 weeks. Two weekends ago, the three of us went to Boise to visit my brother, Danny and his family. This weekend, my sister, Melanie, and her family came to see us from San Diego! Jill spent the night too, and Matthew came up every day. It was a blast! We played tons of new games, which is our usual with Melanie and Sam. We did our family traditions with egg hunts, dying eggs, and of course LOTS of chocolate. :) We enjoyed a great dinner at my aunt's house and had a fun weekend just goofing off.

Sammy, 6 and Nathan, 5 one request was to go play in the snow! They wanted to make a snowman and have a snowball fight. We took a drive up American Fork Canyon to find some snow. We had a grand old time. Jane cried the whole time. Nathan only had fun if he was throwing the snowballs and not getting hit with them. Samuel just loved every second, but was the first to call it quits. Andrew had no idea what was going on. We had a fun snowball fight, and slid down the hill. After about 20 minutes all the kids were done. It was pretty funny.

I loved this picture of Isabelle with her daddy. She sure does love him!

Here is Isabelle with Nathan, 5. Melanie with baby Andrew, just 3 weeks younger than Izzy. Jane eating an apple. And, Isabelle and Andrew. They had fun grabbing at each other's faces. Isabelle was happy drugged up on Tylenol.

Jill is such a fun Aunt! We love her. She loves all her nieces and nephews and they have such a fun time with her. This cute photo opportunity ended up like....














This! Pretty Entertaining!














The only bad part of the weekend was Isabelle was miserable. This is pre-Tylenol. :( She got sick the night before Melanie's family got here. She had a gunky eye for about a week, but developed the drippiest runny nose possible, a nasty hacking cough, and a fever to top it all off. She stayed home with dad for Easter Sunday and I went with my family. So much for a grand first Easter! This was her cute Easter dress this year, a sleeper! Maybe next year!
