Although we're still waiting for our spring weather to show up, we were fortunate to have Jared's parents come and spend conference/Easter weekend with us. We had a WONDERFUL time and were so sad to see them leave Monday morning.
Easter Baskets
Bradley showing off the eggs they colored.
We colored eggs Saturday evening while the men were at their priesthood meeting.
The kids braved the cold long enough to hunt for some eggs on Saturday afternoon.

Our April Fool's day dinner. 
Mackayla and Bradley were so excited about the big April Fools joke they played on their dad.
They told him he had to eat a spider---turned out to be a cookie that only looked like a spider. Boy, did they fool him!
Mackayla got her much anticipated, spring haircut last week. Her hair was much longer than mine has ever been. She got about three inches cut off.

Bradley HATES to have any "fuzzies" in his toes. He takes his socks off multiple times a day to check between his toes.
On St. Patrick's Day, the kids were sent on a scavenger hunt all around the house to find the pot of gold the leprechaun had hid. They loved it, and want scavenger hunts to become a common part of our lives from now on.
Sweet boy!
Jacob enjoyed the goods after the hunt as well.

Blowing bubbles...We've been working on re-upholstering a couple of chairs. We had one chair ready to put back together by the time Jared's parents arrived so that his dad, an experienced upholsterer, could help him. It took most of the day Saturday, but they got one chair pretty much done!
There was very minimal sewing required on this project and I assumed that I would be doing that part, but Jared wanted to do it himself. :)

Mackayla is looking so grown up these days. I love the haircut! Bradley just reminded me of Meagan's "checking her toes" phase when she was around his age - she was pretty obsessive about it, too.
I love your scavenger hunt/pot of gold idea, and the chair looks fabulous!
Ok, did Jared really eat from that pan lid? Cute holidays you guys had. Your cake was pretty cute. No tricks at our house this year -- and not even any green milk on St.Patties. Glad the folks got to come visit!
Mackayla looks younger with her hair cut. She is still beautiful. I love Bradley and is BBQ hands and face. Jacob is so cute. What fun things you did for Easter, April fools day and St. Patrick's day. Sorry to hear that Jared had to eat a spider. That is great that Jared's parents got to come up for a visit. The chair looks good that Jared and his Dad redid.
What fun busy lives you guys are having! I love the updates. I am proud of ya Jared!
I have some wingback chairs to reupholster too. I'll have to pick your brains for advice.
Glad you had some company--that's always fun. Looks like you've had an exciting few weeks!
