End of April - Pictures

Kyler loves his dog. This is in the front room-- the rug in the background is from the easter hunt.. awesome! (we upgraded from a runner to a big one for 50 bucks)
Kyler waiting to go down the slide
Tire swing. A huge hit.
Another Zoo trip. Kyler might be biting Cash in this picture, but it might be a kiss too-- thats usually how he does it-Kyler gets Cash in a hold and bites him. Owwy.

Perry and I at the Surfrider restaruant. We drove up to Newport one evening and loaded up all our storage and then drove back in the same night. Before heading back we decided to go to an adult restaurant since we didnt have the kids. We didnt get back to Portland until midnight but the food was awesome!
Our view at the restaurant. Overlooking Fogarty Creek. (mom, dad, and duke-- you've all been here)
We are still unpacking, so soon I will have more pics. of the house and of the yard but thats all for now.

The Hunt

So the pictures are backwards but Viking Kyler came from a Happy Meal at Mcdonalds (we got over $40 of free Mcdonald's at the easter hunt. Good thing they dont expire until Sept.) And Cash can have the Apple Fries, yeah!

Pulling Cash back.. he started before they said go.

Easter Egg hunting was great. The boys got lots of candy of course (we hit 2 egg hunts for them), but my favorite part was the Moms Easter Egg Hunt. Ive never done one before and it was a blast, Perry's mom Katy came with me. The field was super muddy, tons of moms, and they put the eggs at least 50 yards past were the starting line is. In the eggs you can win anything from candy to a free trip to a resort. They count down from 10 and some women took off at the count of 4-- cheaters-- its just too exciting, so then everyone took off and it was a rush. I focused on running as fast as I could to the end of the eggs so I could pick them up without beating people off of me and it payed off. I was able to pick up 6 eggs before the others arrived and as I turned around to go get some more I slipped and ate it along with many others in the field and my backside got covered in mud. So I only ended up with 6 eggs but 4 out of the 6 had prizes. Katy only got candy as did another one of our friends so I was very suprised to find out I had won a crystal oval necklace, an $80 area rug, more free mcdonalds, and a piece of free pie at a Sheri's restaurant. What a fun idea. I am so ready for next year.
Since we were out all day we missed all of the morning session and 1/2 of the afternoon session of general conferance (if anyone is interested in watching or knowing more about Latter-day Saints and our beliefs you can go to lds.org where the conference will also be posted) so we are so blessed to have internet so we can watch it tonight.
