Easter

We had a fun and eventful Easter Weekend in Idaho Falls. We went down on Saturday afternoon for a barbeque and Easter Egg Hunt at Jarom and Elena's home. We almost had all the grandkids together...we were just missing Katie's four girls. After the hunt we all went to help Emily and Brandon move from Rexburg, ID to Shelley, ID. They have a great new apartment. They also have a park nearby so after moving them we headed over to the park so the kids could play (and the men could have a swing-jumping contest...boys will be boys).

We spent the rest of the evening in Idaho Falls with everyone hanging out at Mom and Dad's house, helping Mom clear her booth at the Mini Bazaar. At about 9pm the boys (including Dad) decided to go "fake paintballing" and came home with welts all over their bodies...especially Dad's. But, they couldn't have been happier and would have gone the next day if it wasn't Sunday.

We stayed the night there and joined Mom and Dad, Natalie, Emily & Brandon, Melissa, Blake, and their boys for church in my old homeward. I always enjoy going back there and seeing familiar faces. Then...we had a spectacular dinner with everyone that evening. Complete with potatoes, ham, and PIES! What a great weekend! It was so fun to spend time with everyone and eat good food.

Here are some pictures from our festitivies. I am trying to get better at remembering to do this!

I would like everyone to know that he won the swing jumping contest by a "large margin." :)
