All in One Conference/Birthday/ Easter Egg Hunt

Today is Jaycee's 10th Birthday!! I can't believe how time flies. Jaycee always keeps us entertained and we are so happy to have her in our family!!! She started out the day by wrapping her own present (she wouldn't wait long enough for me to do it) and then quickly ran into the kitchen to make her own birthday cake (wouldn't wait for me to help her with that either). Later at Grandma's, she wanted to frost and decorate it all by herself---what a helpful girl!

Before Conference---we were doing the dishes and cleaning up the kitchen. I realized that Jaycee was the only one missing in action. I called out to her to find her. When I asked why she wasn't down helping us she replied "because it's my birthday!" What a kid! She picked out a puppy dog Webkins for her birthday and a Pixo.

We arrived at Mom and Dad's house just as conference was ending (we have a tradition of loading up the car during the last song before the last speaker) and then listening to the last talk on the 30 minute drive there. In between sessions, we did our Easter Egg Hunt. Mom and Dad hide candy around outside and the kids all come away with a big sackful. Even the big kids participate.

Stefanie's Cousin Jordan (who is 2 days yonger than Devin) and who is attending UVU.

The kids play Conference Bingo that Grandma has all ready for them and they eat lots of candy. Here's Landon with his blue lips

Grandpa usually takes lots of pictures and so I decided to turn the camera on him...oops...are your eyelids closed Grandpa and Logan ? LOL! Secretly---I think we all took our turns "concentrating on the talks" with our eyes closed.

We ate lunch in between sessions and then had cake and ice cream for Jaycee's birthday afterwards. Here's Jaycee with her self-made and decorated cake. Devin's girlfriend Kiera was up from California was up here and came over to help us celebrate.

I'll let you in on another secret. Garrin and I beat Kiera and Devin in hand and foot. Dad and Landon were the overall winners and Jordan and Shawnee came in third.

Here are some random pics of conference...everyone loves to tease and play with Kennedy. Garrin would reach her to the ceiling and put her on his back.


Devin and Kennedy

Had to put this last one on...Kennedy at the Easter Egg hunt.
