Hello Everyone,

Just thought I would drop a note and let you know we had a great Easter and Derek had a great birthday (All in one day!). Yes, he is now sweet 16! He is so excited to get his drivers license. We haven't signed him up for drivers ed yet. We are taking our sweet time on that one.

For Easter and Derek's birthday we went to Idaho Falls. We had a good time. Here are some pictures for you. Enjoy! Love to all! Deanna

Savanna's First Bike Ride

Linell found Savanna a new bike this past weekend at a garage sale across the street. It has barbie on it and so she automatically loves it. It is also easier to peddle then her other princess bike. So after we put the training wheels back on she's been wanting to ride it all the time. So tonight I took her on her first "extended" bike ride from our house to the park. She did really good for going that far. We found out that we need to teach her how to stop, slow down and navigate corners. But despite all that the bike only tipped over once and she caught herself before she fell. We'll be looking forward to more rides soon as we enjoy this wonderfull weather.

Here she is leading the way and she always was looking back to make sure I was still there.

After we got to the park from the bike ride, it didn't take long for Savanna to make a new friend and want to include her in the pictures Linell was taking.

Savanna and Porter love the new playground that the Willard park has. Every chance she gets, Savanna loves to dance. Yesterday she said she would like to go on American Idol so they could say yes and she could get one of those papers that would let her go on to the next round!!! Kids are so cute.

Easer Weekend Fun

Ok, we got some more pictures to show everyone of our Easter Weekend Egg Hunt. We had it at Denise & Carl's house on Sunday night. We had a lot of fun and look forward to Survivor night, this Thursday. If you can make it then stop by and bring a side dish that will go good with grilled hamburgers and hot dogs.


Here is a Photo of Andrew just being himself.


Here you can see Addison showing off one of her beautiful eggs that she helped dye.


This is one of Casey's friends that came with her to the Easter Egg hunt. She helped to hide the eggs for the little kids. That pretty much consited of throwing them on the ground and having them walk right by the eggs as they were looking for them.


Here is the lovely Casey holding the beatiful cat of Addison.



Here is James and Andrew being all cute together.

This is another of Casey's friends that came with her for the Egg hunt. She wasn't the only one that lost her eggs....

After the egg hunting, everyone pulled out the bubbles and Porter enjoyed his bubble stick.
