Easter Sunday

The week before Easter Sunday, Kandis called to see if Logan could go with her to a Jazz basketball game.  Earlier in the year she had taken Landon to a BYU football game.  It was so nice of her and Logan had a great time. She even bought him ice cream. 

Wednesday our neighborhood celebrated with an Easter egg hunt.  It was in Shanel's circle and all of the kids had a blast.  A big chalk circle was drawn and all the kids had to stay inside the circle until the countdown ended. Then the kids ran to the 4 homes that had eggs hidden in the front yards. 

After the hunt, I talked Shanel into doing some man-scaping for some of neighborhood men.  I've been a long time fan of nose hair waxing, and was able to talk these men into trying it out.  It was a huge hit with all of the women and children who watched and laughed.

Saturday night we colored Easter eggs.  We only colored a dozen eggs.  Sunday we let the kids try to eat a hard boiled egg.  Alyssa was screaming she was so excited to eat her Easter egg.  After the first bite she said, "I don't like it."

Jill tried out a new recipe that made a "divinity-like candy."  It was to be made while reading select scriptures.  It was pretty fun, and ended by putting the candy in the oven and waiting until morning to see the final result (you turn the oven off, of course).

The kids searched for Easter eggs and found a couple of presents from the Easter bunny.  Now the kids have just the right size of garden tools to help out in the yard.

Here are the kids just before church.  Alyssa got an Easter dress.

Before church we played some games and Logan got creative and spelled his name with Jenga blocks.

Last week, Alyssa said something pretty funny.  When Grandma Bryant watched the kids, she and Grandpa took Alyssa out for lunch.  Grandpa wanted to order a cheeseburger and she said, "I have those in my nose."

Our kids have discovered youtube.  There is a particular series they like to follow; it's a boy named Evan and he evaluates Lego toys.  For a couple weeks our boys have followed Evan's evaluations of Lego toys and love to watch them over and over again.  This week the boys decided to create their own youtube video.  We talked them out of actually putting the video on youtube, but the boys loved making the video.  They created a character named "Silver" who has a younger brother "Robert" and they go on adventures.  Logan created a sign called "Logan Tube HD" and Landon did a terrific job shooting the video with my old iPhone.  Logan did a terrific job of telling his audience about Silver and built Silver's Jeep.  He ended the clip just like Evan, "If you like this video remember to subscribe by clicking here."  It was very cute and I think we will keep him focused on making more videos.
