Happy Easter

We had a beautiful Easter Sunday. Lot's of sunshine but it was chilly! We enjoyed a nice morning finding eggs and then we went to church. We went over to our friends house for dinner it was a fun evening. :) Hope you all had a wonderful day as well! Here are a couple of pictures before church. The egg hunting pictures will be posted sometime this week...probably! :)

On a roll!

Wow! Two posts in two days! It is a record for me for sure! Just had to add a couple of Haylee funnies...

Today in school we were talking about conflict resolution and some ways that countries could resolve their differences without going to war. Her suggestion "Well, they could play rock, paper, scissors. That's what me and HD do sometimes." I am e-mailing the White House right now...Dear Mr. President, Have you ever thought of solving our differences with other countries by playing rock, paper, scissors? LOL!

Another one is from a couple of months ago when we were actively looking for a house. Haylee's vote was that we should definitely buy one so we could and I quote "Save money and live better, you know like WalMart" Good idea Haylee! :)

Just had to add these so I wouldn't forget them! Hope you enjoy them as well. That girl keeps us smiling that's for sure. :) Have a great weekend!

We celebrated Earth Hour -Haylee go the shirt from our friend who works at the World Wildlife Fund -Haylee is on a mission to raise money to donate to them.
And last but not least....We have been building card houses!
A couple of Haylee funnies for the past few weeks: The other night she was laying in bed and we were chatting I asked her what she wanted to be when she grew up her answer "I am pretty set on being a Ninja." me "wow, that would be pretty cool" her "yeah, but the training would take FOREVER so I'm not sure if I'm going to do that" - she is so funny -being a ninja would be the ultimate if it just didn't take so dang long!
Tonight she was getting in bed and Joe came to tuck her in and she was showing him her new sheets we got today at Target - he said "PINK?" she said "mom decided. I wanted a more manly color" -too much!!!
I was writing a note in my phone to remind myself of something and Haylee asked me who I was texting. I told her no one that I was just writing a note she said "Like, NOTE to self?" then she cracked up. - I know there are many more that I forget to write down! I will try to be better at it! :)
So there ya go! All of our family happenings for the last 8 weeks or so in chronological order! (pretty much!) Thanks for checking out the pictures and reading the whole thing!
Hopefully I won't let it go that long between posts again!
Happy April Everybody!
