St. George and Easter part 2

So since the Easter Bunny spaced doing Easter basket Saturday morning, he did it Sunday morning. We have talked about it a little but haven't decided which morning for sure to do it. The Easter Bunny came on Saturday growing up mostly. As our kids get older he'll be more creative and on top of it, but alas once again, Emery doesn't not care. ;) She got some new Dora DVDs for the car, she was pretty pleased. She also got a coloring book, crayons, sidewalk chalk, and some books. 2 of the books she got accidently got left at home due to the move...But it's all good.

Oh and check out that bed hair! That's what pigtails will do to ya if you're wanting to replicate the look for yourself ;) I love it. 

She really likes her Five Little Monkeys book.

She is really into coloring everything right now, so this present has been a hit. 

After breakfast we got ready and went outside to take some Easter pictures. Emery was cooperative for all of about 5 minutes. So by the time we started taking some pictures of all of us, she was not in the mood...She had to be on the ground to not be yelling, but she was not about to smile. Oh well, I don't mind. 

This is her pre-tantrum "Dad let go of me so I can go play in the rocks or I'm gonna scream" 

He didn't...and she delivered. ;)

After some pictures my dad, Todd, Colton, and Haley went and hid eggs at the park for an egg hunt. I'm pretty sure this has been Emery's favorite holiday to date. Well...she really liked Halloween too. But she really liked Easter. Even after we got home for a few days she would find her Easter Basket and walk around the house saying "egg, egg" and try to find eggs. She didn't even care about the candy she just wanted the eggs. She ate one tootsie roll. (the one she is eating in the picture above, haha. It came out of the egg so we gave it to her.) The candy that was just scattered on the ground she wouldn't even pick up though. Only eggs!

After a while we packed up, cleaned up, and hit the road. We were very sad to leave the warm weather...Emery had so much fun. She was so happy down there being able to be outside all the time, and go swimming whenever she wanted, and then spend the rest of the days at a playground. But she was so tired! She fell asleep within about 30 seconds of pulling out of the driveway...haha. She slept until about Beaver, which was really nice. Since that is only about 10 minutes from Cove Fort where we had planned our next stop. Jake had never been, and I hadn't been in a long time. So we all stopped to have the missionaries take us on the tour. 

Colton and Haley even got married while they were there ;) haha. 

I'm so glad we got to take a little mini-vacation for few days. We desperately needed it. After the stress of buying and getting into this house, and getting out of our other one (which proved to be worse than trying to get into this one...argh...), the baby coming, and everything else, we just needed to get away for a little while. It was awesome. Hopefully we'll be able to get time to do it one more time before the baby. Jake is soooooo busy at work right now though that I'm not counting on it...haha. But maybe.
