Easter Weekend!

Landon's brother Justin, his wife Stacy, and their son Jace came to visit for the weekend. Saturday morning, Stacy,my friend Jen, and i hit up a community yard sale and got some good stuff! Then we headed over to the Midwestern campus for an Easter Egg hunt and Easter activities with our families. Justin, stacy and Jace
Later that day, we headed over to the Mesa Temple to save seats for the Easter Pageant.


The Roman soldiers were all soooo huge! Carter was in heaven holding the sword.
Carter and Brielle loved watching Jesus up on the stage. They both were so sad when he was beaten and crusified. Then when he was reserected, they saw him lifted up to heaven, and they got so excited!
On Easter Morning the kids were so cute! Carter and Bri had made hats to wear that morning and even made one for Jace. As you can see it was a little big.

They really got spoiled! Carter got a frisbee, the movie Hercules, flashcards, action figures, a blow up spiderman bop bag, a flying disc toy and a bunch of candy. Brielle got a frisbee, strawberry shortcake movie, flashcards, a baby bottle for dolls, a mermaid figurine, a flying disc toy, littlest pet shop pets and candy.

They also got a church outfit and two books each from the Easter Bunny.

Then they went on an easter egg hunt around the apartment.

Later,we went to the Adobe Mountain Railroad and went on 2 free train rides. They do 30 min. train rides every sunday for free.



Along the tracks they had little displays set up with barbies and other toys. The displays were all very low budget but you can't really expect much when they don't charge for rides. They keep their train running on donations.
Some of them were kind of creepy, like this one with aliens invading, but the kids thought it was cool!
The kids loved how small the train was. It was just their size!
Breezy fell asleep on our second train ride.


Brielle and Carter in their Easter outfits. I wanted a full body shot but Carter refused to keep his church pants on and he put on his basketball shorts. So i took what i could get.


They both try so hard to do a good smile. It's really cute!
