Boys in Easter attire 2010

April 7, 2010 Brooks-5, Nick-8, Jantsen-11, Payton-15

Easter/Spring break in St George 2010

Easter was during Spring Break this year. We decided to spend a few days in St George. It was questionable whether or not the Easter Bunny would make it to St George, but he did.
Nick likes his tie and white shirt.
Jantsen doesn't seem as excited...
Brooks is!

I don't think Payton cares at all that the Easter bunny came...
Nick and Brooks found all the candy and eggs in a matter of seconds.

Payton is trying to be apart of the festivities...at least in body.

Nick and Brooks ready to ride!
We had such a great time 4-wheeling and playing in the sand. Payton and Jantsen.
Nick, Brooks and Greg.



We call Brooks our "Joseph of Egypt", instead of selling him to Egypt, these brothers just bury him...
He looks so happy...plotting his revenge.


Far far away...

Singles Ward Egg Roll 2010

For the last 4 years in the Singles Ward we have had the annual Egg Roll at Easter time. Sadly, this will be the last year for the Singles Ward...as the Bishopric was just released.


Payton and Hummer face off.
Hummer wins with his "Temple Marriage" egg.
The big, bad, Dad!
Jantsen cheers on the mom!!
Go Nick!
I won!!
Brooks is proud of his cute egg.

Jantsen and Brooks battle.
Jantsen wins again.
The final four bring it on!
The Champion!!

Jantsen wins the tournament! A proud momma!
The Final Four in the tournament: Rob Higginson, Sam, Jantsen and Chad Wright.

Easter with the Fauxes...

A Faux tradition from WAY back was to go to Grandma Goe's and have an easter egg hunt. We have carried that tradition to Grandma Fauxes over the last few years, but Grandma Goe wanted us to come to her house this year. She is amazing at 87 years old!

Goofy.
Heading out to hunt.
Watch out here he comes!

Payton got a hold of the camera...
Mindy caught cheating :) with Jessie.

I think Payton stole a candy out of Nick's basket...

Brooks loses his first tooth!


Brooks lost his first tooth on March 27, 2010. He is 5 1/2 years old. He did not want to see this tooth go. He would not wiggle it, even when the new tooth started to grow in behind it. Finally Greg just yanked it out. He is the first one to lose a tooth this early.
