Well, we had a busy busy month! We started with the 1st, with Jacob's birthday. But we celebrated it when his parents got here. These are all in mixed order: Jacob's parents arrived on the 8th, which was my last day of finals, my graduation on the 10th of April, we did Easter Eggs the next day on the 11th and had Easter dinner and Jacob's birthday on the Easter Sunday. We hid eggs, the kids played a lot with Oma and Opa, we went swimming at the Hotel's pool (where Talea flipped upside down in a floaty and I jumped in the pool fully clothed to get her, picture below of her calling dad to tell him) and overall the kids all had a blast with everyone here.
Thanks to everyone who helped with the kids on graduation day. It was so nice to have everyone's support.
happy birthday to daddy!
grillin' stuff, a computer chair, a bike seat gel pad, new alarm clock
Talea and Kelton helpin' each other find eggs, they do this every year. It cracks me up.
Taelin obsessing over those eggs! She wouldn't let anyone take them from her, no matter how heavy that basket got, so we'd sneak 'em and then put 'em back on the lawn.
Boys vs. Girls like every year. Those sneaky boys.
Jennifer came to hang out with us for Easter. Sooo good to see her again and hang out. Miss ya girlie!
No one wanted to take this photo, so bribs were in order. Kelton, the night before Easter told me that he knew the Easter Bunny would bring him a purple shirt, thank you Wal-Mart. 
Sleepy Opa. The boys watching the coloring festivities.
Chase kept double dipping and quadruple dipping those eggs. He kept going and going. And stabbing them before we even got to it. :)
Oma helping Kelton, and keeping clean. He kept saying after they left, "I need Oma to play computer and piano with me! Mom, she needs to be here. I miss her."

Mom and me. Everyone else was headin' out to lunch, it was yummy and fun to be all together.
Me and Lois and Doug. Thanks for coming from Florida. It meant a lot that you came.
My graduation! Yay me! Or at least the cover, we get them later in the mail. Elder Anderson and President Clark came to our commencement departments ceremony and spoke. It was funny to see all the people get all paparazzi with Elder Anderson.
Jennifer Lowe and Me, we took some high school graduation pictures together, so we thought since we were walking together, we should take another one. Geez, 8 years later, with 3 kids under my belt and a mission under hers. Love you girlie!
Talea calling daddy, i wore my swim suit, my sweatshirt and a towel home. But at least she got back in the water 2 days later, so proud of you LaLa!
And this is what I have been doing lately. Kyle and Courtney are getting married on Memorial Day, so I've been in charge of flower stuff. Here are two of the center pieces. The colors are wierd on pictures, all the purples look blue, but they are pretty royal purple and pale yellow.
