Easter 2016

We spent Easter weekend in Salt Lake. My neighbors growing up the Peterson's invited Kate and Harvey up for an Egg hunt Saturday morning. Kate thought it was fantastic to find brightly colored eggs all over their yard. Afterwards they fed us an Easter themed brunch, it as wonderful!

 The next day was Sunday and following church my parents had all of their Grandchildren up to the house. We decided it would be fun to hide eggs for the cousins. We had 2 different hunts. The first was in the backyard for the younger ones and the second was in the front yard for the older cousins. Everyone walked away with candy, and all the parents collected their candy tax from the kids.

Scott's wedding

March 25 my younger brother Scott married Kristi Brown in the Bountiful, Utah temple. We are so grateful that he found someone as amazing as Kristi. It is wonderful to see my brother so happy.

Hollywood Studios

I am so behind on blogging! Yes, this trip happened 3.5 months ago, and I am just finishing it up! We spent one day at Hollywood Studios at Disney. The day we went it was mothers day. Disney had a flower for each mother. It was great to be able to spend the full day with my wonderful mother! Highlights from this park include my favorite ride Toy Story Mania, Beauty and the Beast musical, and The little Mermaid short musical. 

We met Olaf and gave him a warm hug!

We are all ready to ride Toy Story Mania!

Kate is obsessed with Doc McStuffins. If you have never seen the show you need to! It is about this little girl "Doc McStuffins" who has a magic stethoscope and uses it to bring her toys to life. She fixes her toys and family and friends. It is adorable, and Kate has learned how to give a check-up. Kate really did enjoy meeting Doc, but I think her favorite part was coming back into Doc's playhouse after Doc had gone home for the night. She was able to sit on the check-up table. pretend to use her instruments. It makes me happy that my daughters loves to play with medial instruments!

Maybe Joe's favorite part was all the Star Wars characters he saw. I have no idea who is pictured below, or in any of the other star wars pictures. One of the characters loved Harvey and Harvey was not scared by him.

 Joe was a champ and stayed with Kate all day! He even took Kate to the fantasmic firework show at night on a Daddy-daughter date while the rest of us went back to sleep. Kate loved the extra time with her Dad, but thought the show was a little scary. She did like getting to see ALL the Disney characters in the show.

Papa and Nonna were so nice and bought Kate and Harvey each a souvenir to remember their special trip to Disney world. Kate got Disney princess figurines, and Harvey got Toy Story figurines. We play with the figurines every day. Kate often asks while she is playing with them if she can go back to the hotel and Disney World. One time I told her it cost a lot of money, and so she found some spare change around the house, gave it to me, and asked again to go back. Well played Kate! Maybe we will be so lucky to go again in 2017!
