Dying Easter eggs with Tomi
Silver with her special eggs.
She LOVES this reindeer shirt. Her "littlest petshop" kitty shirt is underneath with her reindeer pocket shirt. Seriously, does life get any better than this? Sometimes the simple things bring the most enjoyment!
River's egg! She wanted to do one for Daddy. Green = Daddy's favorite color and green like camo. Then she drew a hunter (i took a picture of it and had it right here, but can't find it - she did a good job drawing daddy with a gun). She then asked me for a deer. This is what she got:
River showed it to Tomi when she came over and she said "Is that an eagle or a turtle?
An eagle turtle deer!
Summer's egg!
Crayon first and then dip in dye.

Moving Silver's hair out of her eyes again! She is 4 and this is all the hair she ever got! She does NOT like me to cut her hair - even her bangs because she wants to have long hair "just like River's"
This Easter was really neat as we got together as extended family on Colt's side. The major part of the day was teaching the girls their Heritage and where they come from. The story of Grandpa's family Homesteading on the Arizona Strip. We then headed out to see the different sites of family history.

With PacaMa
River was a good explorer! She and I walked around where the old dug-out was. We made a pretty big loop around the area and she found this old metal airplane. We showed it to Grandpa who was so happy to see the toy airplane that belonged to his brother!
River decided after this experience to become an archaeologist!
Can you even imagine living in a dugout?
With small children?
We all joined in a cedar berry fight!

Shoes on the wrong feet. We call these "duck feet".
I am pleased she can dress herself. So what if her shoes, shirt, pants or all 3 are on backwards? She is learning!
Click on this picture to see it bigger - her face is so precious!
Running along!
Dirty Faces and clothes - oh how fun to be a kid in a sandy place!
Doesn't this shirt just say "Easter"?
Silver writing in the dust on the truck.
Silver with her FAVORITE shirt on!
It has a pocket for toting all your treasures with you!
On the dirt roads Silver driving with Daddy!
She got such a kick out of it with the radio turned up!

Summer's turn!
River with her special peacock feather she picked up at the ranch.

A couple of days later we took the old Easter eggs up the canyon to our "sandbox"
Of course we HAD to take pictures of our favorites!
2 eggs together make a dalmation - spotty head and body
We rolled several down the ramp we made and then set them up in the "wall" of the sand.
We grabbed small rocks and threw them at the wall, knocking the eggs down. We set it up over and over again :)
VIDEO: Daddy and River playing catch with eggs.
Daddy swinging girls around and around in a circle. I love the light in the evenings with the warm evening glow that casts long shadows.
There is so much in life to enjoy and be grateful for!
Find the Joy! Create the Joy!
