Happy Easter!

Amy and Terry invited all the family to their new house just outside of Howard for Easter. The boys had been counting down the days for weeks! They couldn't wait to go to Uncle Terry's so they could ride in the big tractor! I don't think we had been there an hour when Uncle Terry fulfilled their wish and they got to ride with him in the big red tractor to work up the field right next to their house.



Tyson is holding Flat Stanley...Drew had sent him to Grandma Brenda so she could take him on some adventures, and then send him back with pictures of all of the fun stuff he was able to do.
Uncle Dan makes these awesome horse shoe wall hangings, and he was kind enough to make one for us, so we could give it to Terry and Amy for their housewarming gift. They absolutely loved it!
The boys were also obsessed with their hot tub! Friday night we took a dip with Mason, Heidi, Colt, and Zoey. There was a total of 8 of us in there at 1 time and the kids still had plenty of room to swim and splash around! First thing Saturday the boys wanted to go back out in it. Unfortunately, it was probably only in the 40's with the wind blowing about 30 mph. I think they lasted a total of 5 minutes before they realized it wasn't nearly as much fun as the night before and quickly got back out.
Amy had gotten all of the kids these sand pails with goodies inside. Leave it to these 2 silly boys to wear them as hats! :)
Saturday morning we drove into Howard where they had an Easter egg hunt. Because of the cold windy conditions it was held inside...and it wasn't so much of an "egg hunt", but a "pick up all the candy on the floor as fast as possible"...hunt! :)
Waiting patiently for them to give the go-ahead to grab the candy.
Tyson was all over it, and flew around the gym floor throwing candy in his bucket. Aiden had a bit of a slower start, but brought it on strong in the end! :)

Showing off the goods...
All of the cousins with their Easter goodies.
Aiden and his stash...
Tony's birthday was on Saturday, so Marla made a cake and we celebrated on Saturday night.
Sunday morning we discovered that the Easter Bunny did indeed find his way to Uncle Terry's and Aunt Amy's!
We all went to church Sunday morning...this was our sad attempt at a family picture before we left.
After church the Dad's had the HUGE job of spreading out all of the Easter eggs that Grandma Brenda filled with goodies. It's in the hundreds...and definitely kept all of the kids busy for quite awhile!



The eggs were hidden everywhere!!

After the egg hunt came the task of opening up all of the eggs to see what was hidden inside!

After a delicious lunch, it was time to pack back up and make the 4 and 1/2 hour trip back home. The boys were sad to have to go...there were so many other things they were hoping to do out on the farm:) We decided that just gives us all the more reason to go back down this summer...for more fun and games!! Thanks again Amy and Terry for a great time!
