It’s been over a year since I’ve posted anything but I’ve recently been thinking about all the activities my kids have been enjoying and all the people that are missing out. A few months ago we bought a new camera that does pretty good video and is easy to carry around so I thought, why not try to be a little better about capturing it all?
Jeremy wanted to play basketball with his friend Daniel over the weekend and his friend Jill’s baby was being blessed, so we decided to go to Stockton for Easter weekend. The kids had fun playing with their cousins Daniel and Justin and I got to finish up the year 2004 in my scrapbooks. It was a nice weekend. Justin warmed up to me and decided that I would be fun to play with. I learned that if he brings me a pillow and a blanket I’m supposed to pick him up and if I’m lucky he might play peek-a-boo with me for a while. It was hilarious watching him hide in the big blanket and then laugh hysterically when I found him. I didn’t even have to bribe him with my iPad, although he did sit with me and read Thomas and Toy Story on it later.
We were able to surprise the kids with new Easter outfits, something that we told them they weren’t getting. I was just glad I managed to get the right shoes for Sariah and pick out a dress that she liked. Jeremy picked out Becca’s outfit and I think he did a pretty good job.
I was able to buy a new dress too. Jeremy was happy that his mom went shopping with me instead of him having to go. Cindy was happy because she found a skirt she’d been eyeing on clearance. Everyone was happy.
The kids also dyed eggs over the weekend, which were later hidden in the back yard so they could hunt for them. I don’t know if Justin had ever dyed eggs before, but he was pretty funny. I loved how proud he was of himself when he put the eggs in the dye.
Sariah is very creative and liked dyeing eggs. Daniel, JD, and Becca liked the dye, stickers, and coloring on them as well.
Cindy and Jeni helped the kids while Jeremy and I took pictures.
Here is a video of Justin dyeing his eggs.
No trip to visit the family would be complete unless I let Justin play on the iPad. He loves going from game to game.
Here is a video of the kids Easter egg hunting. Becca picked them up and shook them to see if they had money in them. They had a lot of fun and everyone was happy with their eggs. They were especially happy once they were allowed to eat the hard-boiled ones.
