Fishing with Dad in Challis
Lance took the kids fishing in Challis. They told me that this was the best day ever! When they got there it was still pretty cold (they left here at 3:30 and got there at 6:30 AM) so they built a campfire to stay warm. The kids loved looking for sticks to help keep the fire going. They each made their own fishing pole out of whatever they could find. Lance said that Mason found some line that someone had left there and he spent an hour untangling it so he could use it for his own pole. They have so much fun just being outdoors and spending time with their daddy!
Taylor's Earth Day Program
Taylor was a Jaguar for his Earth Day program. Both 2nd grade classes sang songs and did a little play for the parents and the rest of the school.
Taylor did such a good job on his reading part. Mason told Taylor that he was the only one that they could even understand!

SOCCER TIME!
We are absolutely loving soccer this year! The boys are finally on the same team (Taylor made it by 10 days). I love when they are the same team, they really cooperate with each other well.
This was Taylor hitting it off of his head, what was funny is that Mason just did it prior to Taylor too!
Mason dribbling the ball down the field. Mason can run down the field faster than anyone I know, when he is determined to stop the other team from even getting close to scoring!
Taylor never gives up and is always going full steam ahead! Last game he played the whole time without any breaks and ran constantly. It made me tired just watching him!
Mason loves to be the goalie! He is doing a great job at it too.
Sometimes it is hard for us to tell them apart when they are out on the field. If they didn't have numbers on their jerseys I would never get them right! The team that they are up against was the team that Taylor was on last year. You could see him out there talking to his favorite person, from the other team, Baylor, that he has known since preschool.

EASTER
Normally for Easter we go to Salmon, but this year we stayed in Idaho Falls. I must say that we like the Salmon Easter egg hunt much better because there are not so many kids! We went to the Ucon Easter egg hunt and showed up like 10 seconds too late so the boys only got a few eggs, but Lance took Alyssa to her side and she hit the jackpot!
After the hunt the boys went and had their tryouts for baseball. They had to get up in front of everyone and try to hit 5 pitches, field and throw. I was more nervous than they were, but they were so awesome! I am so proud of them!
Coloring eggs!
After we had all of the eggs colored I went to break one to eat it and it was RAW! I swear I boiled the eggs, so I looked in the fridge and pulled out the other carton and we found out that we had colored the wrong set of eggs! Now we have pretty eggs for every day use!
Mommy and Lysa!
On Sunday, we went to Ed's house for lunch and to have a family Easter egg hunt! There were over 400 eggs and they had a great time finding them! It was so nice to hang out with my family, the kids played for hours while the girls played cards (whacky six, and no I wasn't cheating I just have very fast hands and processing skills, sorry Meish maybe next time you can try to beat me!) and the guys talked "shop".
This was Taylor's favorite egg that he found!
Alyssa wanted to wear her Easter dress all day long because she wanted to show Aunt Meisha, and she knew Meisha would think she was pretty (that is what she told me).
Mason decided to use this bucket on more than one occasion!
As adult you always stand around watching how much fun the kids are having, so this year we decided to have an adult Easter egg hunt. In order to play you had to pay five dollars and we put that in the pot and whoever got the egg that said WINNER inside got all of the money! I knew I never had a chance to win, since I am the most unluckiest person when it comes to contests, but Lance on the other hand is one of the luckiest people I know and can win everything!
This is the winner of the contest, my nephew Paul!
Alyssa loves Uncle Damon and this is where you will usually find her whenever he is around or making him give her rides in his wheelchair.

No I am not really taking all of Alyssa's candy! We are just giving them the candy and putting the plastic eggs up so we can use them again next year.

BOYS WILL BE BOYS
Lance and the boys headed to Salmon last weekend for fun time of steelhead fishing, while Alyssa and I stayed behind for her Ballet/Jazz dance pictures. Mason got to reel one in and it was huge! Taylor didn't have too much luck with the fishing. While Lance and Joel were fishing Grandpa Cannon took Mace and Tay shooting. They were shooting Lance's 22 when Grandpa told Taylor, "I bet you can't hit that duck over there!" Taylor took aim and shot and killed the duck! Afterwards they had Taylor call and tell me because they wanted to see my reaction. Needless to say I wasn't too happy about Taylor killing animals, especially when he hasn't been through Hunters Safety yet. I told Lance that Brent was going to get an ear full from me and he said that he already told his Dad to lay low around me for a while! This will be a story that Taylor will remember forever about killing his first duck with Grandpa.
