easterz

you know in nacho libre when the priest talks about easterz? i love nacho libre....sigh....when i grow up i want to be him.....i mean really? blue stretch pants? AWESOME!!! anyway, about OUR easterz. it was enjoyable. we had good weather, went to church, went to the park, ate a fabulous easter feast of grilled cheese and tater tots.....who needs ham really? i hate water retention. then we all had a bit of a nap and had the easter egg hunt of our life. ok, not really, but it was pretty sweet. nova has no clue about easter, and could care less, AND chocolate bunnies aren't really part of her diet in the future anYway, but she does like running around on our shoulders and clapping. which is what she did while dan and i did a service easter egg hunt. at the beginning we both wrote down a number 1 service and a number 2 service we would like to recieve. we took turns hiding eggs in our enormous yard and whoever found the eggs in the fastest amount of time won the prize of the other person's #1 service, and the loser received the other person's #2 service. hopefully that makes sense. if not. don't stress. I WON....of course.....8 minutes and 12 eggs seriously. cake. i was like a hawk circling the nest checking for eggs everywhere. ok, actually dan and i both looked like morons running and darting around with a bowl in our hand. i took advantage of the colored eggs and won because of my super strategic placement of the blue egg on the blue bike. high five me! so i owe dan cinnamon rolls and he owes me a trip to the sandy aquarium and or zoo with lunch. sweet! anyway, it was pretty fun and i forgot how much fun easter egg hunts are. you never grow out of that kind of thing. at least you shouldn't have to.

anyway, here are some pics of nova and the eggs. she did enjoy throwing them. and running around the yard clapping. you always perform better when you have a cheering section right? as you can see, nova just wants to touch the eggs. who cares about a picture. this is the best that we got.















also, we are clearing out a garden spot......its a nightmare. more on that later. AND it is april 15th, and it is SNOWING and we have been given a WINTER WEATHER WARNING.....3 words. barf. a. rama. if anyone reading this is going to visit mother nature for the weekend be sure to give her a calender. i think she is confused. april does not equal december. i know that christmas and easter both have to do with the savior, but seriously!

oh and here is the famous magic whisk. nova loves this kitchen utensil. she freaks out every time we pull it out. it is a weird relationship, but whatever makes her happy.














OH AND MOST IMPORTANTLY: dan and i are going to do a spring music video. (i know---you are all super excited. but we decided we would let those who enjoy the blog decide the song. if you have a preference. let us know! (i know our christmas music video will be hard to beat. but darn it. we'll try!))

and this is just a goofy pic i took....nova needs her eyebrows plucked!

Nathan and I have finally figured out a song for our next music video. But I have some ideas for you that Nate and I bounced around...

anything with Kermit and Miss Piggy

Sonny and Cher

And that's all I got.

Love the pictures as always! I didn't know you had started the garden spot clean-up. Will it be done in time to plant? I'll have to give the music video song some thought. Love you!

Sounds like your easter was a fun won. This year Reve was actually learning how the hunt goes. He did pretty good at runny and getting the eggs. He really liked it.

You make me smile! That Nova is so dang cute! (by the way, I think the song "Mustang Sally" would be fabulous - if you don't know it, you should)
