Happy Easter!

We had a great Easter! The night before we had the kids set their baskets out so that the Easter bunny could fill them and hide them so that the kids could look for them in the morning.

This was my basket (it also had some chocolate in it :)

Braelyn had this purple basket. Dal had a cool blue one.

Madelyn enjoyed trying to eat her basket

Madelyn wore her bunny pajamas to bed the night before Easter so she was our little baby bunny and was soooo cute :)

We also did a special Easter egg hunt where the eggs had scriptures in them and little items to help us remember Christ, the atonement and the resurrection. We also watched some cool videos on lds.org about Christ and Easter.

We did some egg coloring

And then it was off to church.

After church we had a wonderful Easter dinner (thanks to our awesome chef daddy :)

St. George

I went to St. George for work to visit a couple cancer centers and since it was Dal's spring break the whole family came and we did some fun things while we were there. We enjoyed the warm weather, the beautiful red rock, swimming at the hotel, etc.

Enjoying the red rocks and exploring at Pioneer Park

We went to Snow Canyon State Park and there were was a sand dune and the sand was so soft and awesome to play in!

Madelyn loved the sand too. She also tried to sneak a couple bites of it here and there so we had to watch her like a hawk :)

I just can't get enough of her cute face!

The kids enjoyed being buried in the sand

We also did some exploring around other parts of the park

We loved all of the beautiful rocks

We also did a little miniature golfing which was fun

We also visited the St. George temple and that was cool. They have a neat visitors center there. While in St. George we also took a tour of the Brigham Young winter home which was kind of cool and we had a lot of fun swimming at the hotel pool.

Our New House!!!

So we closed on our house today so we are official homeowners!!! We are excited to get moved in and organized and settled. We are so excited to be moving into a house, have more space, a garage, and a yard eventually :)

Here is the tour...

Entry Way

Our kitchen has granite counter tops and a travertine tile floor

Dining Area

Living Room

Our lovely fireplace (that is the same granite that our kitchen counters are made out of, between the fireplace and the wood, and the same travertine tile so that it all matches).

One of the walk-in closets (There is one in the Master bedroom and in one of the basement bedrooms)

Master Bathroom with large framed mirror & white granite

Master Bathroom with cool looking tile

Stairs to downstairs

One of the basement bedrooms

Basement bathroom - we went with black granite downstairs and a slightly different tile but same mirror/wood color as the other bathrooms

Part of the basement (we will probably make this a game area or something) and there is the utility room and cold storage room off to the right (through the door frame you can barely see :).

Its a new construction so we are excited to have new carpet, new everything, so fresh and so clean :)

Stairs going up and the playhouse under the stairs

Basement family room

Braelyn is really, really excited for "her" playhouse

I love this little outside light on the playhouse (there is an inside one too)

Laundry area

Well there you have it! Our first house and we LOVE it!!!
