conference on easter

Today we had General conference (a week late) at our chapel and oh how were we missing being able to watch it in the comfort of boyd and stephs family room (on the sheepskin rug). Today is also easter sunday and i dont know why we thought we could let the kids eat there chocolate from the easter bunny before church.....big mistake.
So we get to church the kids all looked cute and innocent in there easter clothes and then we sit down and conference begins and it was like someone put batteries in the kids and switched it to the "ON" button . Tyler thought it was time to run laps around the cultural hall and carpark, Alicia thought she would talk really loud and look under and all around our seats and those in front about her missing markers and then miss eliza just kept screaming EEEEEEEEEEEEE and crying every time hans went out chasing tyler.

About 15 mins into conference hans looks over to me and says
"CAN WE GO HOME NOW"....we both just laughed and somehow found the humor in our situation and crazy kids and after chasing tyler twice around the chapel and taking eliza out twice ..finally we did go home , we lasted about an hour and 20 mins and i can honestly say i did not hear one talk i didnt even really hear the opening prayer.
Oh the joys, i do love my kids and am glad they had a good easter, here are some pictures i took after we left it just shows the effect of kids and chocolate and us thinking they would sit through 2 hours of conference.
Happy easter everyone we love you.

Alicia behind the chapel balancing and tyler doing what he does best...run away from us


Elizas funny faces ..what she thought of sitting through conference.
I just like this one of daddy and eliza checking out her fingernails

Our next door neighbour had her hair all braided , and alicia said she would love if i did that to her hair. So here is our attempt, i think it turned out pretty cute and it was fun talking and laughing with alicia while i was braiding her hair for all that time.
Then we said lets do it to Elizas hair...but it is a little too short, so we just did pig tails instead ..which eliza pulled out as soon as they were done almost.
It was a fun time playing hairdressers with my girls.

Tylers puddle

We have had alot of rain the past few days, and tyler is just loving it. He has even named the puddle out the front "tylers puddle" and first chance he gets every morning he is out there running up to his paddle with a huge splash. Getting all dirty...just like any little boy should right.

RunSplashoh its so funny

Tyler has the cutest little laugh I love when he puts his hands up to his face like this and laughs at the simplest things...like getting dirty in Tylers puddle
