Easter

Saturday we dyed easter eggs. Got a late start because Avie and Olivia had been on a youth temple trip to Birmingham. Then we finished up the evening with an indoor egg hunt.
Roan and Paige started off the dying.

Paige prepping an egg, this is serious stuff.

Olivia's Birthday

On April 5th, 12 Years ago Olivia joined our family! She was born in Provo, Utah at UVRMC and she was my only baby to which I was induced, only baby overdue, only baby to come during the daylight hours. She is also my only kid with Dad's coloring, only kid with curly hair, only kid with blonde hair, only kid with freckles, and my one and only OLIVIA! Happy Birthday!
