Brenda and Den's Wedding!

Like I mentioned in yesterday's post, we were in Maryland last week for a family wedding. Today I thought I would share some of the pictures Matt and I took as the 'photographers' for Brenda and Den's wedding. We are not professional photographers by any means but we had a great time taking some pictures for the happy couple!

Easter in Maryland

Hello Friends, sorry for the long absence! We've had a busy month and for the past week we were visiting family in Maryland! We made the trip out to the East coast for Matt's aunt Brenda's wedding, and stayed for an Eastern shore Easter as well. We had a great time and I've got lots of pictures to share (we were the official photographers at the wedding, so get ready!). But today I thought I'd just share a few highlights of our Easter Sunday in Maryland.

^The three Monson ladies!

^Grandma teaching the kids to bat

^Can I just say how much I love this lady?! What an awesome Mom and grandma!

The Egg Hunt Begins!

^The newlyweds:)

^Perfect day to fly kites!

^Auntie Kay helped Elijah find eggs

^This is what we do:)

^This little boy was quite sweet on Bella. He even gave her some of the eggs he found. Don't worry, Matt kept a close eye on them;)

^Elijah wasn't so sure about sharing the eggs during the egg hunt

We hope you had a blessed Easter holiday with loved ones! Rejoice, He is Risen!

Spring Crafts with Kids

We are so excited to welcome in Spring around here! This past weekend we spent some time painting pictures for Spring and Easter. I found an Easter art project on Pinterest that I thought would be fun to try out. All you need is potatoes, paint, and paper:) You can check out the project here. Basically it's creating potato stampers that look like Easter eggs. It's pretty simple and the kids enjoyed it (the potatoes were a little hard to hold on to, so be careful if you try this!). The kids also made hand prints and other 'abstract' paint creations:) We had lots of fun being creative...the perfect way to spend a Saturday!
