Easter 2009










Our easter festivities began on Saturday with the Easter Eggstreme down at Thanksgiving Point. We went with our friends the Dutsons and Jackson had a lot of fun. He collected a whole basketful of eggs, went on a wagon ride, rode a pony, fed the animals, got his face painted with a dinosaur, and ate lots of treats. Benton had a good nap in his stroller and loved the muffin he had when he woke up. Unfortunately the weather wasn't great... maybe next year. After Thanksgiving point we went to Cabella's where we had lunch. Jackson always has fun at Cabella's feeding the fish, and shooting the guns. And I love to go to Cabella's to sample the delicious fudge. Saturday night we colored Easter Eggs and got ready for the Easter bunny to come visit which he did on Sunday. Jackson was really excited about the basket of candy that was just for him. He especially loved getting gum. Gum is still his treat of choice. Because I was still sick we didn't get a chance to take the boys to church in their new Easter suits instead we all went to the doctor to see if I had strep throat. At my moms Jackson had another Easter basket waiting along with a special new pet his little Darth Beta. He was really excited to get a pet fish. He has been asking for a puppy or kitty but I think that a fish is a much better option for now. Of course my mom fixed a great meal like always and my dad put together his annual big people Easter Egg Hunt. Mo won the prize... a dinner at the timbermine... which I hope to be included in. Easter could have been better for me but I hope that Jackson had fun which I am sure he did.

Flowers from Jackson


I have been really sick this past week with some sort of yucky flu/cold/sore throat thing and while I was lying on the couch last Friday wrapped up in a blanket because I had the chills, my cute little Jackson knocked on the front door and had a handful of dandelions in his hands. He handed them to me with a big smile and said,"here mom, I picked some flowers for you." Later he asked me if I was still sick and when I said, "mommy doesn't feel very good" he said,"but I brought you some flowers didn't that make you feel better?" He is such a little sweetheart. I am so thankful that he is so thoughtful and that he shows so much concern for me when I am not doing very well. His flowers really brightened my day.
