Easter Eggstravaganza!



Easter came and went before we knew it this year! With the holiday landing on an early day, it seemed to creep up and fly by! The hunt was on yet again this year for a cute Easter dress for Autumn. She LOVES any kind of dress or skirt (as long as it's not pants!) and so she was more than happy to try on tons of dresses...only she wanted to buy every dress we put on! I have come to the conclusion that all the dress designers must live in Arizona. Almost every dress was sleeveless. Do they not realize that it's still COLD??!
10 stores and about 50 dresses later, I wondered if Autumn's cute Easter dress from two years ago still fit her. So we went home and sure enough, it still fit!! The kid doesn't get any bigger around, just taller. The dress was a bit shorter than 2 years ago, but still looked as cute! And I didn't need to spend any money! Tanner was sporting his new duds that Grandma Larson had got him a month earlier so he was set as well.
We had a good time hanging out with my family at my Mom's house. We ate the usual Easter feast (which was fabulous as always Mom!) and took pictures of the kids out in the front yard while the Easter Bunnies hid the eggs in the back yard. Tanner got to go first, as he was the youngest there. He was so funny. As soon as he would pick up an egg he had to break it open right there. All the kids had fun spending time together for the rest of the day. I had fun filtering through Tanner and Autumn's Easter Baskets to find the good candy! heehee

My Older Man

The big 30. It only comes once a lifetime. And it's here. Scott just turned 30 this month. It was a fun one for us. Linda asked us if we wanted to drive to Utah with her for Grandma Dahl's 80th birthday. It was Scott's spring break so we decided to go along. We got to spend time with family and attend Grandma's birthday bash and it was lots of fun. Scott opened presents on the morning of his birthday. The kids and I got him some shorts, slippers and best of all some really stylin' sunglasses from the dollar store!! (see picture below!) It was only a joke. I really was getting him a pair of Oakley's, courtesy of Amy & James. (Thanks again Amy & James!) It was funny though. The glasses from the dollar store were ugly and he didn't know what to say. I believe his words were, "Oh sunglasses...(long pause)...that don't even fit my head..." Hee hee hee

We also went out to eat at the Pizza Factory with the family. Then we headed to Stephanie's to sing Happy Birthday and to eat Scott's favorite Lemon cake with Lemon frosting. I put all 30 candles on the cake in shape of the number 30. I threw in a few magic candles too...the ones that relight after you blow them out. We all thought it was funny...Scott "claims" to have "known" because of how they were 'sparking'. Party pooper. Ha ha
I hope you had a good Birthday Scott! When are you gonna start acting your age??! :)

My Name is Allie. I am a Blogger.

It's true. I am now a blogger. Although technically this is my first blog. I have to admit, I have had this blog account for a while, but haven't had the time to work on it. A few nights ago I had a sudden urge to get it up and running. So there you have it.

I hope you all enjoy the little tid-bits of our life. They make me happy.
