Easter 2012

The Sandidges hosted a fun Easter Egg Hunt the Friday night before Easter.  Bryson was a little worried about the dark situation, but I hear he did great.  I had the flu.

Easter morning line  up.

Don has been saying that he would like a tie for every holiday.  So we started with Easter.  The boys are all real big boy ties except Landon's. 

Easter dinner. 

Lemon-Blueberry cupcakes.  They were really good!

Eldon's first prayer! (on his own)

We have been having the battle for a long time now. 
Mom/Dad: "Eldon do you want to pray?"
Eldon: "I can't." along with crying.
We have tried helping him or having him pray with us, no success.  But tonight . . .
Mom: "Eldon, your turn?" Referring to praying.
Eldon: "Yes." with a giggle.
I proceed to try and help him pray.  To which he frustratingly says: "No mom, I do it. Heavenly Father, thank day.  Thank thee food.  Bless us go park.  Bless go Paul and Troy's.  Jesus, Amen." 
We still have a few glitches to work out, but hey everyone has to start somewhere.  I was just ecstatic he even wanted to do it.

I need to report Bryson when saying disgusting always says "bisgusting".  He knows he is wrong, but still likes to say it that way anyway.

Also a conversation between Jaron and Bryson.
Jaron: "Bryson where did you come from?"
Bryson: "Heaven, then mom's belly."
Jaron: " I mean besides that.  Why are you so silly? Did you drink tea?" 
We have discussions a lot about why we choose not to drink alcohol and tea.  I guess he mixes tea up with alcohol.  Anyway, funny none the less.

I turned 28

Oreo Truffles, made by my niece, Brittnee.

Flowers picked for me by Jaron.

Yes that right, time passes and I am another year older. My birthday was great. Lots of birthday wishes and love sent my way.
Don got off early and we all went to Panda Express for dinner in Longview. It was a good day!
