Celebrating Easter at Papa's and Grammy's

The week before Easter we talked about what Christ was doing each day prior to being Resurrected! I loved it because it helped me get prepared for the real reason we have Easter; with reading and preparing to teach Jonathan and Sarah. I do think that Jonathan has a better understanding of the resurrection with my mini lessons, Grammy's lesson and his primary lesson at church!

On Saturday, April 23, 2011 we had a little celebration at Grammy's and Papa's. Grammy had a lesson about the Savior and what happened. Then with Daddy's help Sarah and Jonathan made a little tomb with a poster board and bowl and plate. Jonathan really liked it because it helped him visualize what happened to Jesus!

Jonathan helped tell the story with what was inside the egg!

Showing off their posters!

Kaitlyn, Beth, Lacey, and Jonathan!

Then it was time for the Easter Egg Hunt!

Jonathan way excited, he woke up at 6:30 am cause he couldn't wait!

Way excited about how many eggs he got!
He decided that he mostly wanted blue eggs!

Gordon slept the entire time, I finally woke him up!

Grammy and the Grand kids!

Doesn't Grammy look so good, she has been working so hard! I am so proud of you Mom!

Family Comes to visit!

On March 25th we had a few visitors and Jonathan and Sarah were SO excited for Grandma and Grandpa to come visit! They love to play with them and keep them going for hours! I am sure that Ben and Jodie need a day to rest from coming to visit!

Becky and Josh came to visit on Friday night because Josh had to work on Sunday and they were afraid of the weather being bad to come down. It was fun to see them and of course Jonathan and Sarah loved seeing their cousins (however I didn't get any pictures of them together). Grandpa was so great at holding him and getting Gordon to sleep. I guess that is what Grandpa's do best

Sarah LOVES Gordon and will help him out whenever she thinks he needs it!

I just love this picture!

Grandpa is helping Sarah hold Gordon. Sarah is so happy to hold him. And Gordon is content being held!

So sweet! Asleep in Grandpa's arms! We sure enjoyed there visit, and were sad to see them go! Jonathan tells me frequently that he misses Grandpa and Grandma!

Enjoying time with Grandpa

Jonathan and Sarah just love when Grandma and Grandpa come to visit! Jonathan waited up the night they were going to get in town, and was so excited the next morning when the motor home was in there! Sarah just loves the attention that Grandpa gives her! As I have said previously Sarah started calling both Grandma and Grandpa "Baba". We enjoyed the time they spent with us, and enjoyed being spoiled by them!

Dino Museum

On Saturday we had talked about going to the Dinosaur Museum, but decided to go to the Aquarium. Well, Jonathan heard that and Curious George has show about the Dinosaur museum and so his heart was set on going there, so Grandpa took him! He looked it!

Playing in a little cave!

This was one of there favorite places! They could dig around in the and and play with dinosaurs.

WE saw a 3-D movie about Dinosaurs and Jonathan really enjoyed it. He was trying to touch them. Sarah was on my lap hiding her eyes!

This was another favorite spot. Acting like Paleontologist.

Jonathan enjoyed making a dinosaur!

Enjoying coloring! It was great fun, thanks Grandpa!

Spending Time with Grandma and Grandpa

Grandma and Grandpa come to visit and Jonathan just loves to play with someone new! We decided that after Dave was done with school and I was done with Doctors for the kids we would go on a bike ride!Well Jonathan was ready! He didn't understand why he couldn't go like this!
Ready to Ride!

It was a great time to go riding before the storm came, on the trail we stopped at a park. We all had fun!

Grandma and Jonathan racing!

Cute!

We finally got a group shot! We love to see Grandpa and Grandma!
Jonathan and Sarah just loves the extra attention! And of course Dave loves to talk to his Dad, they could talk all night! Thanks for staying with us!
