Easter

John and I are blessed to live close to both of our families, so we got to celebrate Easter twice this year.

 Here we are at the Riggs side of the family.

 Grandma and Grandpa hid lots of Easter eggs all around their backyard. The kids loved running around and finding them. Bradley pulled Grandma around with him until he got the hang of things.

 Jackson and Lily were quick and fast at hunting for eggs this year, they made quick work of all the hard to find eggs.

 And of course little Brooklyn (2 1/2) weeks old)was not to be left out on the fun. She also spent the time outside being loved and happy!

Bring on the sugar rush...The gang with their treasures, now to find ways to slowly sneak the candy out of the house without the kids noticing!

A rare treat!

 The boys love having the shower on during their bath.

 I think you can see all the way down to his toes!

So cute!

Sunday!

 I wanted to get a picture of her in this cute handmade outfit that my dad got from someone in his mission from Norway. Yes I do love dressing up my little lady.

 These boys love their "baby sisser"

 I love this, because all 3 of them are doing something silly!

 What a cute little girl! 

Bradley through a fit because we let Jackson hold her most of the photo shoot, so he was delighted that he got to hold her all be himself! On the other hand, she was not!

Playtime!

We've hung out in our jammies a lot lately.

Bradley was thrilled that we got to pull out some of the fun baby things we have been collecting. Here he is trying to show Brooklyn how to play.

 She loved having Bradley around.

 Jackson decided to take advantage of the unoccupied toys!

4 Snug Bugs...

I was so excited to be able to go to church the week we came home, as I had to "take it easy" for about 8 weeks before she came.

 John came home to babysit after Sunday School so I could go to Young Womens, I think he enjoyed his job!

 Bradley thought this looked like fun when we got home.

Then everyone decided to "take a snooze." It didn't last long.

Dressed up!

Though the occasion wasn't the most pleasant, I got to dress Brooklyn up for a funeral for a family friend. 

 My sister in law, Mari, got this cute newborn dress for her and I was so happy to see her in it.

She stayed in her car seat almost the entire time and was still tuckered out when we got home. Little girls are so much fun!

Home...

Brooklyn looked so cute in her going home outfit, I just love dressing my little dolly up!

Our little lady with Mommy and Daddy...

I was surprised at how quickly Bradley offered to hold his "baby sisser." After a few seconds he quickly tried to give her to us.

 We put her in the sunlight on the floor, as she was fairly jaundice. The boys were quick to bring he their entourage. It's a rare and special privilege to have all the stuffed animals in the house. I think they liked her right off.

I had the boys help me "bathe" her...let's just say we had a small lesson on anatomy as we tried to explain the differences on boys and girls :)

She loved her bath and was a good sport as the boys really loved to help too!

Ta-da, all clean and ready for bed...that means everyone!

 My "old" little one is still loving and happy, but trying to find his new place in the family.
