Here's our Easter Pics. We had a fun day up at my Mom and Dads with all the cousins from Portland. The kids had a great egg hunt between the rain showers and we had lots of yummy food!! Kale was doing pretty good considering that he had just had a new set of tubes put in and his tonsils and adenoids removed just three days prior. It was a fun Day!!

Kale and I went to town a week before Easter to go and get some baby chicks. So our first stop was at Wilco to see if they were in. We talked to the lady in charge of them and she told us that they wouldn't be in until Wednesday but that she had an unscheduled small shipment of them coming in that morning and if we wanted to come back in a couple of hours that they would be ready to go. So Kale and I headed off to run the rest of our errands. When we got back a couple hours later all we could find were the most adorable baby ducks. That's all it took for Kale and I, our little hearts melted they were so stinkin cute!! So we came home with two baby ducks. One for Brody and one for Kale!! They are named Huck Duck, that's Brody's and Kale's is Puddle Duck. We call them Huck and Puddles, they are so much fun!!

So Bryce had his Mission Reunion this month back in Layton, Utah so we decided to go since he really wanted to see his Mission President and we haven't seen his Mom and Dad in a while. So we loaded up and left early on the 2nd (Thursday morning). Oh course I had the car all packed and ready to go and the most important thing in place which was the portable dvd players. I like to refer to them as my sanity!! Well of course something has to go wrong, right? Well Wednesday evening I had everything packed and was putting the dvd players in for the boys and I went to turn them on and check to make sure everything was working properly. NO, couldn't believe it, they didn't work, mind you this is only the fourth time we have used these and they aren't even a year old. Couldn't believe it, yes actually I could, our last car trip to Utah almost cost us a new Yukon with a built in dvd player, that was half way across Idaho!!! Anyway so I had the box and receipt so I packed them in the car and then went in to find out where the next Best buy was that would actually be open when we went by. It wasn't until Nampa, ID. So we had a long way to go with very little entertainment. The boys actually did really well for the first part of the trip and then they started to fight and carry on. And to make matters worse Kale has only been potty trained two weeks so between Prego Momma and Kale we had to stop a lot!! Anyway we made it with out any kid or sibling beatings although the two came close a few times in the back seat!! We had fun hanging out with Auntie Brea and Uncle Brett and Grandma and Grandpa. Bryce's mission reunion was really fun, even though he didn't have any mission companions there, there were a few sister missionaries and others from his mission that he had served around. We had a great time and were very thankful to come home to a sunny Oregon after leaving snowy Richmond!! After the car trip I have sworn off any long distance drives until after the baby comes!!!
