Marky Mark and The Funky Bunch: Easter Weekend

We had a great Easter weekend full of baseball and soccer games, egg coloring, egg hunts, the Easter Bunny, and most importantly church on Sunday where we remembered our Savior and the great sacrifice he made for us. I hope my kids can always remember why we celebrate Easter and the great love our Savior has for us!

Our weekend started out on Friday night at Tren's baseball game. Papa and Grandma came to cheer on Tren. They lost, but it was close! I think Tren looks so darn cute in his baseball uniform.

Batter up...Tren is left handed, but he bats right handed...weird?

Eating sunflower seeds in the dug-out.

Tren's favorite position is first base. He is a natural being a lefty and all.

The Easter bunny came on Saturday morning. The kids were so excited. They got bunny glasses, lots of chocolate, and one toy each.

Bunny Divas!

"The" Easter Bunny!

Later that morning we went to Kuna High School for the annual Easter egg hunt. There were so many eggs.

Bailey and Cooper had a blast and were so excited....until they announced that the parents couldn't come out on the field with the kids. Bailey freaked out and started crying. She wouldn't pick up any eggs (even though I broke the rules and went out there with her)! A friend of hers gave her some eggs though. Cooper on the other hand, had his bucket filled to the top with eggs. He shared quite a few with his sissy too. By the end of the hunt, Bailey was happy!

Everyone with their buckets of candy!

Later that day, we headed off to the soccer fields. Cooper and Bailey's game was first. They hustled great but still lost. Cooper scored two goals and Bailey scored one (on the opposing team's goal..oops)! They played their cousin Jesse's team, and were a little distracted.

These guys are great soccer players, and really love to play. I love it that they get to play together and have this experience with each other.

The three amigos! Bailey, Jesse, and Cooper.

Next came Ryann's game. She got to play goalie for most of the game. She did awesome! No one scored on her! She loves goalie and hopes to be able to play it more.

Ryann played offense the rest of the game and did great!

Saturday night we colored our eggs. Everyone was creative and had a good time!

Tren made the darkest green egg that I have ever seen! Ever!

Sunday morning before church I made the kids take pictures in their Easter clothes. We went to church with G-ma Jody and Papa Jim. The kids liked going to their classes at a different ward. They looked so dang adorable! I just love these sweet kids!

The girls...

and boys!

After church we went to Papa Steve and G-ma Rosie's for the annual cousin egg hunt and dinner. All the cousins were there and they all had a great time. Papa Steve hides all the eggs. They have candy and Money in them! The grand prize eggs had dollar bills in them. The kids look so forward to this egg hunt, it was a good time.

Bailey found an empty egg, so Mark snuck a ten dollar bill in it. When she opened it up all the cousins were like..no fair! Rosie thought that she had accidentely put it in there! Mark didn't tell her until later what he had done. We all got a pretty good laugh out of it!
