Hello Easter Bunny

When was the last time you looked at yourself in the shower and thought, I look so good I should call someone in to see this. Well thanks to the Easter bunny's bubble bath last night taking a bath Heath calls for me and standing in the tub with a few bubbles slowly moving down his body he says "See me in my bubbles mom I look sooo good!" Crazy kid, I would have to have some pretty amazing bubbles before I'd be calling anyone in to see me in the tub!
We spent last week in Kanab and loved every second! We started out with a Wedding for Terrance (Brant's Nephew) it was great to see everybody. We stayed with Brant's brother and drove down the snowy mountain to help our friends move into their beautiful home. Congratulations Michelle We know you have been waiting a long time for this! Then it was off to Kanab. We fit in a few friends during our week and it was great to see you guys!

Every Easter of our Married life has been spent in Kanab with Brant's family & my Johnson family. I wouldn't have it any other way! I love traditions, we color eggs and then take them out to the sands and roll them, I have to admit, at first I thought this was strange but I now can't imagine Easter without it. I just love my in-laws! Brant's dad was so cute coloring eggs with Heath. I love them all! I was also so impressed with Brooklyn she is 13 and played with my kids for hours, and they even put on a little show for us!

This week we also got to meet our newest addition to the Johnson Family Tayla Shae, Sweet baby! Tayla is almost 6 weeks old, and Wenda took my kids out riding horses she even got on! Crazy tough woman, cannot imagine riding a horse less than 6 weeks after giving birth! My kids are very excited to have a new cousin on the Johnson side. Mary is the cutest grandma! Congratulations Tyson & Wenda on beautiful baby girl!
We got to stop and visit some friends on our way back to Rock Springs. It had been way too long and it was great to see you Tonia with your mom and kids was an added bonus! What a long drive and then the Easter bunny business at my house that has not happened since we moved from Kanab. The kids had a great time! Rianne was so cute digging through her Easter basket to find her "Jesus Egg". Then helping Heath find his. It is an empty egg to symbolize the empty tomb the Easter bunny leaves one in our baskets every year to help us remember the reason for this season. That's for you Mikkel so you can add that to your list of things Jana does to add to Holidays. I hope everyone had as wonderful a spring break as we did!

April Foolishness




Another Holiday and more Brown fun! Rianne thought it was like Christmas she woke up early ready to get dad with silly string. She had already switched the bags in the cereal boxes for dad's April fools trick (we heard her giggling the night before). She took snap gum to school and both kids wanted crazy hair for the special day! I made them special "eggs" it was fun way to start the day.




We actually started it on Monday for Family Home Evening we did the wise man and the foolish man. For the activity the kids made a tower one on a sure foundation the other on a not so sure foundation (pillow) after the towers were built we jumped around to see if they would fall. We learned it is better to build it on a sure foundation.



For Dinner we went to some friends for a fun April fools dinner, where you go to the store and pick out something crazy for dinner under 5 dollars and come back prepare and share. We had a blast and to follow tradition of course I brought meat cupcakes. This is our friend Stacie enjoying a pickle below are my foolish cupcakes.
