The Pease Family Easter Egg Hunt

Every year my family gets together for an Easter egg hunt the Saturday before Easter. The Mulford's always go to Grover so we have to do the every other year thing. This year we stayed home and went to my mom's. It was fun!


See how cute she looks when her mom does her hair!!



The one who was only trying to find the money eggs!!

Some day when he thinks he is all cool and tough I can use these pictures for blackmail!!!

Let me tell you about Brigham. They were supposed to find a certain amount of eggs. Aunt Kathy had brought money eggs (always a favorite of the kids). Some had the gold dollar coins, some had dollar bills, and there were 5 that had a 5 dollar bill in them. Well, Travis was in charge of helping Brigham count his eggs and he had 5 too many. Travis told him to pick which ever 5 he wanted and go put them back. He chose a 5 dollar egg! Travis made him hide it good! The kid still got 6 dollars from the egg hunt. He smells money, not candy!!!!

Thanks to Alexis for helping Adela. She is showing her where a money egg is in this picture! Thanks Aunt Steph for the cute bows!!

THE INFAMOUS CAKE!

I was only in charge of making a salad but there are two traditional desserts for Easter. Carrot cake and sugar cookies. I decided to make both. I made the cakes on Friday night at 10:00. I knew if I didn't I wouldn't do it. Well I baked the cakes and left them on the stove to cool and I planned on getting up early to frost the cake and the cookies. When I got up I couldn't find the cakes. My inital thought was, "That d*** dog!!" Yes my dog has been known to eat things off my cupboard. I looked everywhere for the pans. I couldn't find them. Nor was there a massive amount of crumb mess that is usually left when the dog does this. I kept searching and wondering where they were. My next thought was, "The mice carried them off!!" First, yes we were dealing with a mice problem at this time. Second, yes I really thought of that as a viable option. That goes to show you just how crazy and upset I was that I couldn't find my cakes. I finally went and asked Travis if he knew where they were and he had put them up in the cupboard where the mice nor the dog could get them! Thanks Babe!! (This was also my poor attempt to decorate a cake!!)

The yummy cookies!

Easter Eggs!!

I know! I know! Easter was a long time ago (or so it seems!) But better late then never I always say! Coloring easter eggs this year was more of crossing one more thing off of my list of things to do but we did it!!

Bless Cas' heart!! He is artsy fartsy and puts up with his mother's lack!!

Tuhker so sweet!! He really is!

The cheezer!! Must be related to the Pease family!!

I promise I do her hair regularly. I promise!!

Future Director

We were out of school yesterday for teacher workday. I was going to take my children to Aunt Marlene's house but woke up lazy and didn't want to do anything but sit in the chair and watch T.V. Well my children were amazingly good and around 3:00 I noticed they were playing together. When I really watched I could see that Cas was getting all of them to do a play with them. (I think Adela may be out next performer). Cas was directing the kids and telling them what to do. It was PRICELESS!! The video doesn't do them justice but it was fun!!!

Hold On Tight

I am so grateful that my Heavenly Father blessed me with a little girl. And I mean she was sent by him!! She is the only child I conceived that wasn't planned. And she is PRECIOUS!!!

Yesterday a friend of mine, who I happen to also visit teach, lost her 17 year old daughter in a car accident. I went and saw her today and my heart just aches for her because I can't imagine losing one of my darling children. I also ached for her because she hasn't been active in the church for awhile. I can't imagine going through an event like that without the Saviors help in making my heart stop hurting.

THE FIGHT

We had a fight last night at our house.

It was between

Briggie
And the watter bottle

Guess who won!!!

(Hope he learned to stop throwing it into the air!!)

Spanish Singers

During the summer, after our suburban had been totaled but before we got the new rig, Travis needed to take our truck to Wyoming. Of course this is how I got around. He left me his work truck which is only a single cab truck. With four kids we didn't go very many places that week. I had to go to the church for a RS thing and my kids went with me. We were squished in the cab of the truck and the kids kept playing with the radio. It landed on a spanish station and the above videos are an example of what Brigham started doing out of no where. It was soo funny!! Now we always ask our kids to show us their spanish singer!!!

Snowmobiling

This weekend we went snowmobiling. This is something my children ALWAYS hear their dad doing but they never get to go. We were supposed to go with some friends to their cabin but they had to cancel at the last minute. Being that Travis spent the majority of Monday and Tuesday getting the snowmobiles ready we decided we had to go somewhere on Saturday with the kids. Our brother in law Corey's family has a cabin in Kamas so we talked to them and set a date. I found out Friday at 5:30pm that we were staying over night. Got to love my husbands plans!!! We had a blast!! Here are some photos for posterity!

The Dreadful Horse

Do you remember these fun bouncy horses from your childhood? I do but I don't remember them being so noisy!! This was Brigham's favorite thing to do!

On Saturday the kids played outside all morning long. About lunch time Brigham was exhausted but wouldn't go in until everyone else did so he just layed against the snow and rested!

I told him it was ok but to make sure it wasn't by any yellow snow!

This is Adela. On the sled. Going down a hill. Because she wanted to.

To appreciate this picture you have to know that the last time we took the kids to Uncle Cory's cabin Adela would just scream if you tried to take her on the sled. When I went out to check on the kids I about passed out to see her willingly on the sled!

Cas eating Snow!! Need I say more!

(Other than his numb got tongue!)

Tuhker being strong!

Dad's little protegee.

Always loves the same things as dad!!
You couldn't get him off!

Just a cutie!

Brigham just likes to lay in the snow!

The guys making breakfast.

One little secret about me. I hate to make breakfast. Good thing Travis doesn't mind. Poor Tom came up to really ride only to find out we were being lazy!! Hopefully he didn't mind too much!!
