Easter and an Earthquake

What a fun weekend! It's really true what they say, the holidays are so much more magical with kids!

The Easter Bunny came and left goodies for all. Notice K's basket is not quite as full as Cole's. Feeling kind of guilty about that now. Oh well, she probably won't remember.


Wait, she doesn't look too unhappy with her goodies...
We all headed out to church for the 11:30am service. Growing up we always went to church at 8am. Dad always wanted to get to church and back and not lose the whole day. Turns out as I've grown up, I feel the same way as Dad did! The 4 other Easter services on Sunday were during Kenleigh's morning nap, so we took the late shift.
A couple of highlights from church were when Cole stood up on the pew shouting, "I can't see him Mommy, I can't see him." Not sure if he wanted to see God or the Pastor. He also recognized Jesus (although referred to him as Baby Jesus) and told Shawn, "Daddy...Jesus has no shoes."

After church were all outside enjoying the beautiful weather when one of our friends noticed that our pool was looking kind of weird. Our calm, still pool was all of a sudden crashing waves over the side and water was rushing over the edges. We went inside to notice that all of our hanging light fixtures were swaying. We were feeling the earthquake from California! An Arizona first for me...been through 2 earthquakes in WA but never here in AZ!

The Easter Egg hunt was great. We had Cole's friend Grant over and the boys went to town looking for eggs. Cole got a little crazy and each egg he would find he would open it...eat all 5 jelly beans and then move onto the next egg. Here are the boys enjoying their treats!

In the middle of enjoying the fruits of their labors the sprinklers turned on. Cole and Grant decided to have an impromtu running through the sprinklers party. They were drenched but having the time of their lives.
Everyone had too much candy and Cole even woke up on Monday morning, came downstairs in his jammies and his first words were, "Mommy...where's my candy?"

That's my boy.
