Ya'll ready for this?

I spent some time this morning resizing all the pictures that I want to put on here. I keep feeling guilty for not blogging. I know that I probably shouldn't but I do. So now I have no more excuses. Ok not having the internet at home is a GREAT excuse but I am around it enough that I can easily update. And as soon as I am current then maybe it will be easier for me to keep you all up to date.
I will breaking up my posts into events. You are in for a treat there are only like 80 something pictures I want to post. That's what I get for missing three birthdays and vacation, Easter, and all our other Summer events. So here we go...

I wanted to surprise the kids and get them chickens for Easter again. Clint decided not to wait till Easter and one night just packed us all up and went and bought them. But of course we couldn't just get chickens. That would be far too boring. So we ended up with five chickens, two ducks and two turkeys. Sadly, something got two of the chickens. It is ok though, that's life right? We still get up to five eggs a day between the remaining birds.
He was only trying to kiss the cute little chickie, not eat it. This is the one the kids decided could be his.
This one was Darcy's. I can't remember what she named it. She was coming up with some pretty wild names for a while. Most of them sounded like Japanese names.
I told him to show me his chicken. I did get one where you can see his face but I thought this one was pretty cute, it just reminds me of the cute little things that kids do. He named his "Duck"
I don't know why I didn't get one of Kale and his duck who he named, "Dark". It is a brown duck so it fits pretty good. They all had to pick one that could be their very own. Gar and Darcy's chickens were the ones that died. Actually we thought Wy's was going to too but after a few days it was as good as new. And we get the most eggs out of her.

This year it was a must to color on each egg before it was dyed.
We went to the annual Hunting family Easter egg hunt again this year. It was sad that we missed out last year. I love taking the kids. I thought I got a picture of Garrett but apparently I didn't. He just hung out with Grandpa in the truck. You can tell by the winter coats that it was still a bit chilly.
Once again, I did get a better picture of Kale but I love his face in this one. You can just see how excited he is to get all the candy and treasures.
Here's Darc with her "big" present. When we were kids we used to get a big candy but now as parents we have decided to start giving a toy or something. You can see by her basket she isn't missing out on the treats. And this was only the first of three Easter egg hunts.
That is Aunt Danielle helping Wy. I am not sure why I cut off her head. (Actually I have been known to do is on quite a few occasions.) I think his basket is even more full than Darcy's. I love his many smiles.

Daddy checkin out her stash.
That evening we went to Lloyd and Kalynn's house to have an Easter egg hunt with Clint's family.
I promise Garrett was with us all day. It was just too cold to have him outside so he stayed hidden inside.
 Later that night we were all just visiting and the kids started play Poke a Pig all by themselves. It was pretty cute.
Then the next morning we did a little something at home. I can't remember what but I remember we did something. I know the kids got kites....hm....I guess that is just more incentive to keep up here. And I am not sure why I don't have any pictures either. Oh well.
