Tanner Be Jammin

Tanner got a hold of Gage's ipod and was jammin all around the house.

Timeout Merrill Style

Mike's new way of putting the boys in timeout is making them stand with their nose in the corner. Well, the boys were being naughty outside and this is what Mike made them do.

Baby Animal Days 2010

Baby Animal Days is held annually in Wellsville, Utah. We have made this a yearly tradition since the kids enjoy it so much. It is held around Easter and the kids get to ride horses and hold baby animals. We went with the Bairs and my cousin Heather and her little boy Kade.

Gage looks like a professional on his horse.

I was surprised that Tanner agreed to ride the horse. He loved it. Landen rode it last year, but didn't want to this year.

Tanner is still obsessed with tractors and thought he could take this one for a ride. Tanner had to stand by it forever and was quite upset when I made him leave.

Having fun on the wagon ride.

Gage was so careful holding the baby bird.

Holding baby rabbits.

Here's Adyson, Tanner, and Kade all holding baby rabbits. Poor rabbits having 2 year olds hold them.

Not sure if Landen is having fun or not.

Tanner loved chasing the goats again this year.

Gage was brave enough to hold a baby goat.

Tanner wanted to give the baby goat a squeeze so I had to help him.

They shoot off a candy cannon and the kids go crazy.

This year they had a train we had to check out.

Easter At The Zampedris

Later on Easter Sunday, we headed to the Zampedris' to participate in another Egg hunt that my mom likes to do for the kids.

The kids love laying on Grandma's bed and watching tv.

We kids usually pool our money together and go in on a joint gift for my parents for each of their birthdays, and Mother's Day and Father's Day. Well this year, we gave them gifts that would count for all four of these holidays. We got them a dvd/blue ray player.

Well, we got them two.

Now time for the Easter egg hunt. My mom puts initials on the eggs so each grandchild finds the same amount of eggs. Tanner would find one, open it, and start eating the candy. He didn't care much about finding anymore until the candy was gone.

Landen is helping Tanner find all the eggs labeled with a "T" since he doesn't seem to be too concerned with doing it himself.

Cute Ady is proud of her eggs.

Gage found his basket.

Tanner is quite excited about his basket.

It is quite a chore to get a picture of all the kids together, but it must be done for Grandma.

Of course my boys loved to pose for another picture.

Happy Easter 2010

The kids were so excited for Easter. The Easter Bunny always makes a trail of jelly beans starting from their rooms down into the living room where all the eggs are hidden.

Here are the kids trying to pick up jelly beans and eggs as they come down the stairs.

Tanner is too concerned with what is in his basket to worry about anything else like finding eggs.

Landen quickly filled his basket with plastic eggs.

Gage is also an expert egg finder. I think the Easter Bunny needs to make it a little more difficult to find the eggs next year.

Here's Landen displaying his loot. It included a lot of "How To Train A Dragon" items.

Gage liked what he found in his basket.

Not quite sure what Tanner is doing here. I think he is just eating his candy as fast as he can find it.

I made an Easter Bunny cake to celebrate with. Not too shabby looking if I do say so myself.

Dying Easter Eggs

We invited the Bairs over to dye some Easter Eggs. We bought a new dye spinner machine that all the kids got a kick out of using.

Landen is proudly displaying his work of art.

Tanner tried his best, but ended up making a mess and breaking a few eggs in the process.

Gage takes these sorts of things seriously.
