Finally

So after a very subtle hint from my dear sister-in-law, I am finally updating my blog. In my defense it has been a very crazy couple of months! I finished up two more surgeries, Jed had his ear tubes in, Tom was in New Zealand for 2 weeks, Kira had a dance competition in Pocatello, and Reese finished basketball, and started soccer! I keep waiting for life to ease up just a bit...but I think we all know how that goes! So here are a few pics to catch you up.
Kira at her dance competition in Pocatello. She did great! She is all qualified for Nationals in her 3 team dances and in her solo. You might notice the scar on her right leg. She had a very nasty fall about a month ago and it is taking it's time healing up! I told her it made her look cool!
Trying to get Jed to hold still for a picture during an Easter Egg hunt was a bad idea!

You are never to old for a good egg hunt!


Reese found so many eggs his basket was overflowing!


All the Mortensen cousins in Julie's backyard after a great hunt!


We dyed eggs on Saturday and let the kids have their own hunt. All eggs no candy! It was very fun and the kids loved it so much they each had to take a turn hiding the eggs! Jed only wanted to find the eggs so he could throw them in the pond! They were even cooler than rocks because they float!


Getting ready for the hunt.


All ready to express themselves creatively through egg dying!

Snuggled up for a quick nap on the couch during conference.


He loved these glasses until we tried to take a picture....than he wasn't so sure! But they were so cute I just had to get one quick shot! Well there you have it, sorry this was so long...but 3 months goes by fast and there is so much to get caught up on!

It looks like ALL of the kids got a log of eggs, not just Reese. So fun.
