April Celebrations


Last week was Luke's 2nd birthday. He got a birthday sticker in the morning from the Pediatrician's office, then proudly told us all day long that it was his birthday. However, if you asked him how old he was, he insisted, "I'm four," waving random numbers of fingers to prove it.

For presents, he received a Little People airplane and not one, but two lightsabers, which he now brandishes many times each day, sweetly asking "You wanna fight?" as if we have a choice! But the big hit of the party was the water table from Grandma Utah. I thought she might like to see all four boys enjoying it:




(Yes, I do call Luke "Heath" in the video, but that's closer than "Wes" or "Justin," which I regularly call the older boys!)

Now back a few days to Easter...

The fun new thing the Easter Bunny brought us this year was cascarones, which are real colored eggs which have been emptied out, cleaned, and filled with confetti. They're good for smashing on people's heads.



After smashing cascarones on each other in our damp backyard, we thought it was cool that we all had decorated feet for Easter as well:


I think we have a new Easter tradition.

(By the way, I don't know how the Easter Bunny got his cascarones, but I heard they were selling them at Wal-Mart!)

What a fun, easy birthday cake for Luke and I love the Easter feet! I'll bet they had colorful feet for many days. Like Alisa...we too miss not being there for all those fun times. Be great to see you this summer.

I am so thankful that I was there for your birthday, Luke's birthday and then on to Anthem for Robin's birthday. It was a short trip but a great trip.
