Easter Break

This Easter was really fun this year

not only because we had all the kids,

but 3 of my 4 sisters were also here!

Kierra made this cute sign for everyone

and hung it up Easter morning before

anyone got up - a nice surprise!

The Friday before Easter, me and my sisters

(& husbands) went out to dinner

before we went to see

KANSAS at Tuacahn!!

This is us at dinner - it was so fun!

4 of the 5 Ford girls at Tuacahn.

We missed Keri!

Here we are before the show...

Kathleen & Tracy

Melinda & Richard

Kristin & Geoff

And KANSAS!!!

They sounded so good - just like they do

on a CD. Brings back lots of memories...

like sneaking the album from Kath's room

to listen to it!! (Sorry Kath!)

Kennedie, Kierra & Taylor

wanted to do a treasure hunt for their cousins

so they made up all the clues and hid them.

Here they are with their treasure.

They had a lot of fun - good job girls!

All the kids coloring Easter eggs.

...and Katy, Hayley & Delaney not

coloring Easter eggs ha ha

So... we thought of a way to get the older kids

a little more enthused about our Easter egg hunt...

We hid their cell phones!!

That way they'd HAVE to look for eggs.

But before they could start looking for their

beloved phones (they wouldn't want to miss a text!),

they had to pose with the little kids for a picture.

...and do bunny ears.

(we really took advantage... ha ha)

Here are the happy teens!

After extensively searching, they finally

found their phones. (They complained,

but I think they secretly had fun!)

Chillaxing in the sun (the little sun that

we got that weekend...)

The boys hanging out on the tramp.

Okay, so we enjoy our computers...

We've been Skype-ing lately - notice that

Delaney's Skype-ing with Geoff -

who is across the table from her.

Just hanging out visiting & laughing...

(missing Keri...)

Yikes! Who gave them knives?!

Grandma Ford made a bunch of sugar cookies

for the grandkids to decorate. Thanks Grandma!

Kierra & Kennedie had fun, and

made some cute cookies!

After Kath & Kris took off, we went to

the sand dunes with the Huntsman's to

roll Easter eggs. It was the first

time our kids had rolled eggs!

Kelsie & Kennedie in a heated race

to the finish line!!

Kelsie & Delaney getting ready to race.

The 11 year old girls.

Here are the other "twins."

Katy & Kalin were born on the very

same day, in the same hospital.

They are our birthday twins!

Enjoying the day...

Mason spent quite a bit of time making

ramps for his eggs. Most of them ended up

broken and full of sand... but he sure had fun!

Here's the kids in their new Easter

Sunday clothes. We also got Kelsie a

pretty new dress, but she had already

changed her clothes :)

HAPPY EASTER!
