Steve's birthday was on April 10th....
We went to dinner with his parents, Julie, Elise & Emily. We celebrated Steve's birthday & it was also a goodbye dinner for Marilyn & Gary. They are going on a mission to Nauvoo for 6 months.

We ate at the Asian Star & it was yummy!

Steve was happy because he got Sushi & cheescake!!
And then later that night he got to eat even more ....

It was late at night, but the kids finally got to sing happy birthday & eat brownies & ice cream with him!
Happy Birthday Steve!!!
And

We'll miss you Marilyn & Gary!!

For the last few months Steve has been working ALOT...he'll drop the kids off at school & then he comes home way after they have gone to bed. He has been going in on Saturdays & Sundays too. Tyler has really been missing him. When Steve is home, Tyler can't get enough of him...


He has to do whatever it is his dad is doing...


He curled right up in his lap & read his ad too!


Looking comfy with his crossed legs.

On conference weekend he shared the couch during Steve's nap...

Of course, Tyler doesn't need much sleep, but at least he was with his dad!
Hopefully Steve's schedule will get back to normal soon! This boy needs his daddy around!

Weekend of Celebrations...

We celebrated Easter, My parent's 45th wedding anniversary & Tyler's 3rd birthday!

Tyler's birthday...

I can't believe my baby is THREE!

His birthday celebration lasted all weekend...We sang to him at Grandma & Grandpa Peterson's on Friday, went out for his birthday dinner on Saturday & then his real birthday came on Easter Sunday.


Dinner at Texas Roadhouse

They gave him an ice cream sundae...

He makes the funniest faces!
I always ask him, "Where did you come from?" He is always making us laugh!

We never did get a picture without the crazy faces!!
He was very spoiled by everyone this year!

Easter/birthday morning

He wanted a birthday cake with birdies & bunnies...Libby & Zack had fun decorating it.

He got a "mean" dragon and a fun coloring book!

Tyler is such a crazy, fun boy! We Love you Tyler-Man!!
Happy Birthday!

45th ANNIVERSARY...

We LOVE you guys!!

We can't wait to celebrate the 50th!!!

EASTER FUN...

My kids were very happy on Easter morning!
We watched conference & got ready for the party.

Most of the grandkids getting ready for the Easter egg hunt!

My mom & dad have all of us over every Sunday for dinner, since we hadn't celebrated their anniversary & it was Tyler's birthday we had them over this week. My mom still did all the hard work of filling all the eggs, writing their names on them & hiding them! The kids had a good time & we never did find all of them! Because I love pictures, I always take too many so here is a slide show of all the fun!

Easter Fun...

Our Easter celebrating started on Friday at Grandma & Grandpa Peterson's!

The kids had so much fun hunting for eggs, decorating chocolate eggs, picking prizes & singing happy birthday to Tyler.


Getting ready for the Easter Egg Hunt

Lining up youngest to oldest...they fill the whole stair case & we were missing 18 of the grandchildren.
Because of the snow the egg hunt was in the family room.
