Easter and moving 2011

Here's our easter montage finally. It was cold, and the kids ate way too much candy, but we all had fun. The kids loved the egg hunt so much, it became a favorite pastime for the rest of the month. I didn't manage to take any pictures of our Easter dinner with family, but that was great too. I never make things like funeral potatoes just for our little family, so it was a nice excuse. We also had ham, salad, and deviled eggs and for dessert some cute little cake pops that were way too yummy.

Before I could even put away the easter decorations properly, we were moving again. Yep, back to Jackson for the Summer. I'm afraid all the excess Easter chocolate was primarily consumed by me out of stress. Richard was very busy with his Thesis and such, and being pregnant I was in no shape to do it all myself. Bless all those people who gave their time and energy to watch the kids, to help pack, and to clean my dirty house! The kids did very well, which I feel was a tender mercy, and all our family who lived in Boise, including Richard's dad who came up from Rexburg to help, went above and beyond the call of duty. I am so grateful to them all! Another tender mercy was the weather --where it was supposed to be rainy in Boise, we had great weather and were able to take all the kids to the park while the guys did all the heavy hauling, after which we had pizza over there as well. We made it to Rexburg the first night, and since the pass to Jackson had a snow chain restriction on it the next morning we went the long way around down by the palisades --coming within 6 miles of our limit on the moving truck. Even though the weather wasn't ideal when we got to Jackson --it was a good thing because it gave my sister the day off of gardening work so she was able to watch the kids. It all worked out fantastically actually. Now we are all settled in and are just recovering from the whole ordeal.
