My birthday '15

My bday this year was on Easter Sunday and I always feel very lucky when that happens.  For one, I get to watch General Conference which is always wonderful and two, it's Sunday so I get to be with my family the whole day!
We celebrated with the Morris fam that day between sessions and had a yummy lunch and treats :)
The big 38!
Wow - 38?  Seems really old doesn't it?
What a treat to be with all these cuties and have them open my gifts with me!
*Austin, Ethan, Logan, Jax, me and Rio*
Cow-a-bunga Bay pass for me!
Yah!  We can all go together now.
Yum, some delicious dark chocolate treats!
Cute pic of Blake with Grandma
And...
...some new workout shoes!
Love these boys of mine!
These pics were taken earlier that day at our house while I opened other gifts.
Happy birthday to me!
A few new shirts and a Bosch mixer!  Woo-hoo - ready to make some delicious cookies!
Love my family so much and I'm grateful to have had this day with them.
I'm so grateful for this day to celebrate the Resurrection of our Savior Jesus Christ as well and to know of His love and commitment to His mission.
Beautiful day!

Dying eggs and Easter morning

YAH!
My favorite part of the "Easter bunny" side of Easter - dying the eggs.
 The kids were super excited to get started and did such an awesome job!
 This was Logan's first year joining in on the "dying" part so he was really happy and anxious to get started.
 And here they are.  You can't really tell their cute designs and names on them from that pic but they did great and had so much fun.
 Easter baskets set out for our whole family.
 Oh man, 5 little kids will be so excited to see these!
 And here they come...down the stairs on Easter morning!
Let the hunt begin!
 Logan found his!
 Austin found his too!
 And Jax too of course!
Spence helped Blake find his little eggs.  Thanks daddy.
 The many faces of joy - had to capture them all!
 Mommy with 3 of my cuties - so happy for Easter fun.
 And Lennox too!  He was excited as well - can't you see his smile?
Cutest dog!
 Jax
 Austin
 Logan
 Blake - much happier to play with his grass than eat the candy this year.

Morris Easter Egg Hunt '15

Get Ready, Get Set, HUNT!
Grandma Morris holding in the kids from bursting out the door to go on the egg hunt.
They were all so excited!
Cutie kids!
Ethan, Jax, Rio, Austin and Logan ready for some action!
Logan got a head start since he is in the 2 and under category :)
Rio and Jax
Little Blake decided to swing rather than to hunt - way more fun to swing right?
Woo-hoo!
SCORE!
These two are great little buddies together - so fun!
Rio and Ethan
Way to go kids - tons of yummy candy and even some money was found in those eggs.
Austin, Jax, Logan, Preston, Ethan, Rio and Blake
Kisty with her two boys
Spence with our kiddos counting up their eggs.
Fun bunch of kids and adults right there!
Thanks Austin for smiling with me - haha.
Love these two boys - Austin and Blake
This little miss of ours - she's really such a ball of joy!
Little Blake loved playing with his eggs - had no idea there were treats inside.
Logan was quite the hunter at Grandma's house - much more comfortable than at the city hunt :)
Good spotting Logan.
See the egg...
This kid is all about winning and getting the most so eggs way up in the tree were not going to stop him.
Go get it Aust!
He did just that!

Way to go little climber!
You did awesome climbing up so high.


Good eye Jax!
This is what Logan does when I tell him to smile with his eyes :)
There is a few more...
Happy Easter everyone!
