My Feeble Attempt to Catch Up: Spring Break

Spring break was spent up in Washington with my sisters, Cajsa and Nezhone. We all happened to have Spring break at the same time. So Nezhone with her family and Mom drove here to Utah and then Mom jumped in with me the next day and we drove off to head to Cajsa's. Cliff had to work so it worked out that mom drove with us.

The house was crazy loud with 15 kids being in it. We realized that we needed to get them out of the house as much as possible. Luckily Cajsa's kids are mostly older than the rest of them, so they took the kids and went to the park down the road.

Most of the time was spent just hanging out with each other while John and Josh went golfing. Getting ready for church was a little crazy, but worked out. Leilani wouldn't stay in nursery so I had both her and Tunoa in Sunday School and Relief Society. Didn't pan out so well, so outside we went and just hung out until church was over.

After church, Nezhone and I put together an Easter egg hunt. That was the highlight for the kids that day.

This was only 10 of the 15 in the picture, but Leilani is somewhere around the herd. We hid some hard ones for the older kids and it was pretty hilarious that we had to play the hot/cold game with them. Even playing that game with them, the little kids found one of them just playing in the sandbox. Tahlia was digging in the sand and uncovered it, but Isreal still couldn't see it. Nezhone and I were laughing pretty hard. Te'alani kept raking through the bushes and would come so close to raking the egg, but then she would walk away and begin raking somewhere else. It took them a good 20-30 minutes to find the last 2 eggs.

All the other little kids found their eggs pretty quickly. Leilani is catching on that there is candy in the eggs and wanted to just open it as soon as she found it instead of continuing the search. With a bit of encouragement we got through it. It is awesome to be with family and allowing the kids to get together and hand out. My kids absolutely LOVE to visit with any of their cousins.
