Easter weekend: Saturday

 We started off our Easter weekend early with our city's Easter egg hunt. They had 6 different sections for different age groups so that made it really nice for the little kids. Max and Jack got plenty of little candy and we got to meet the Easter Bunny. Mason's sister and her husband met up with us at the egg hunt and then we killed some time on a near by playground before heading to lunch at Cafe Rio.
Max had his first soccer game after lunch. He was so excited but once the game started he said he was nervous and didn't want to play. We didn't want to push him so we just talked to him about why he was nervous and said he could go in to play whenever  he wanted. He finally let his Aunt Tresa go in with him holding his hand and he was so cute kicking the ball. He sat back down but went in for the last kick.

For dinner we went up Millcreek Canyon to do a camp fire and tin foil dinners. We went up with Tresa and Eric and the three dogs(Mason's parents two little ones and Tresa's big golden retriever). Max and Jack thought it was the coolest thing, having a fire, cooking their own hot dogs, and roasting marshmallows. After we finished eating and hanging around the fire we went over to the river to throw rocks in. It was such a nice evening and we decided we needed to do more outdoor stuff like that as a family.

Jack makes the craziest faces lately when I tell him to smile,
the one below he is making is his classic cross eyed crazy kid face.
Super smokey but the only family picture from that night.
 Max was more interested in roasting the marshmallows then actually eating the s'mores

Max's 4th Birthday party: Indiana Jones!

Max of course requested a Indiana Jones birthday party, So we had snakes, treasure, and a horse pinata(the closest Indiana Jones one we could find). Each kid got to take home a big stuffed snake and a bag of the pinata candy. We had sloppy joe's for everyone, chips, and a veggie trey. It turned out really good, crazy with so many people in our house but still really fun. And Max said it was a great birthday so that's all that matters.

I just ordered a cake from Costco with just the wording on it and then added the snakes and things myself. So easy.
