Easter Fun and Showtime!!!

1st Annual Easter Egg Hunt in Weston, planned by my mom and I. Linden and Sarah loved it. They helped get ready for it and couldn't wait until the day came. We hid over 3,000 eggs and prizes.

We spent Easter in Idaho Falls and had a great time.

Family Picture on Easter Sunday.

The girls in their matching dresses!!


The boys with their matching ties and tie tacks.

Amanda met Grandma Pat for the first time because last time we were up she was sick.

Crazy cousins on the stairs. My kids love going to Idaho Falls and playing with their cousins. Linden informed us that we are moving there. I told him he would miss everyone down here and he told me they would move with us. Oh if life were that simple. I love seeing life through Linden and Sarah's eyes.

Linden, Sarah, Sydney, & Maggie tumbled in the recent Angela's All Stars show. Natalie continued teaching tumbling after I quit in December. Here the kids are ready for the show.

Christmas in April!!

Linden's Christmas present is finally complete. Things got a little crazy around here at Christmas time and the barn is finally complete.

Here's a picture on Christmas morning with Linden and his barn.

Here's a picture of Linden with his finished barn. That is all he has done for two days is play with the barn.

This is the front view. It has Grandpa Linden's brand. Ryan patterned this barn after his Grandpa Linden Beckstead's barn. That is where our Linden got his name.

This is the back view of the barn and grandpa's barn looks just the same. If you ever go to the Whitney cemetery to see President Benson's grave, you can see Grandpa's barn.

This is inside the barn. As you can see, it is huge. My mom thinks we need a barn room in our house. Since we don't even have enough room for the people who are in this house, luckily it fits in the kids bedroom.

On this side of the barn we have the Alvin Hull Beckstead brand and the OW brand that my grandpa and his dad and possibly even farther back used.

And on this side we have the Van Woodward brand. He got this brand when he had cattle on the Arrowhead Ranch in Salmon.

We couldn't go without including Sarah in the post. She likes to get out of bed after we have said good night and get books. This is literally what we found the other night and we couldn't resist taking a picture of our sleeping beauty. By the way, she was upside down on her bed.

And this last picture of our kids. I had Mandee down on the floor and the other two laid down next to her and told me to take a picture. I love them.
