Easter 2011

We had a great Easter/Birthday weekend!  We had mom and dad and Grandma Taylor over on Sunday for a Easter/birthday dinner and celebration for Kelsi and Sam :)
Bryan cooked a delicious turkey in the dutch oven, and all the good foods that go with a turkey dinner and he even made pies!  It was a great feast and it was great to spend time with grandparents :)

I was a BRAVE mom and took the baby bunnies to Sam's class at school on Friday...he was very excited.  It was also grandparents day that day...so Sam had a lot of fun things happening on his birthday!  Then, Sam got to go with Grandma Blake for his special baptism date.  He was so excited and had a GREAT time with grandma and grandpa.  It's a special tradition, as Kelsi says and (we all agree)..."Besides being Baptized, the best thing about turning 8 is going on a special date with Grandma."

Jacob had a great time at grandparents day too...they had fun playing "Smarter than a 5th grader".
Jacob had his first court of honor tonight.  He got his first patch for his new scout shirt, which I gratefully found at Savers for $7!  And I got another mother's pin...I need to find a place to keep all these pins..especially with Sam coming up...he goes to Scouts for the first time tomorrow!

We are really looking forward to Sam's baptism day on Saturday--it's hard to believe that Sam is really 8 and being baptized. Time sure flies!

Bryan and I spent the day baking...well Bry did most of the baking and I did more cleaning, but I did help with the cookies :)  And now we've got cookies and rolls in the freezer for Saturday!

This week I've been very grateful for a husband who likes to cook!  He's helped out a lot lately!
It will be our 16th Anniversary this Friday...wow time really does fly.  Sometimes I still think I'm in my 20's, and then reality hits 'cause my oldest is only 6 years short of 20!  --which means I am way too close to turning 40.  Yikes!  Yes, I'm having my first birthday crisis this year...and October is still months away.  My goal is to be GREAT with turning 37 by the time October hits :)
