Birthday week, Easter, Josh and Meg move in and Alice Anne Kendall arrives!!

This handsome boy turned 2 on Wednesday!  Jenny's baby was born on Thursday!

Joni turned 25 on Saturday and here she is looking so good with her baby bump!  Jason turned 34 on Sunday and Jack turned 27 on Monday!  We just need another grandkid to arrive on the 18th and we'll have 6 in a row!

We helped Josh and Meg move out of their Clearfield house...

and into our basement Saturday.

I mostly helped by taking Elliott to the EAster Bash at the Gomezes.  Elliott had a great time and has wanted another snowcone ever since.

Joni and MIkey joined us for dinner on Easter to celebrate her birthday.  We did a first by facetiming with 5 families at once.  Jason and Nicole were at the Kendalls and this group was at our house.  I loved it!    Then later (much later) that night Jack, Steph, Jonathan and I Skyped!  Best EAster ever!! I just missed the Chapman connection!


Here's Ellliott finding Easter eggs.

Last, but not least here's Alice Anne Kendall!  All 8 pounds 8 ounces of her!!

One more week and I'll be kissing these sweet cheeks!

Birthday surprise!

Josh, Meg and Elliott gave me this cute table and chairs for my birthday!  I think its going to see a lot of tea parties!  I had such a fun birthday even though I had to work at the high school (not my favorite place to work) that day!  I got to talk to all of my kids that day!  The best part of getting old is watching my kids turn into such wonderful parents and good people!

Good-byes!

Tessa told Elliott that she was going to miss her.

Sophie decided she loves playing Wii Fit Plus, especially the boxing.
 I have to share something Jacob said that has been making me smiles ever since; after having and accident in his big boy pants; he said "probably my Mom will be mad".  After I told him that his mom loved him and would help clean him up, he said; "I guess she'll be as happy as she can be".

Thanks for coming and playing Chapmans!  It was very fun!

More Chapman Spring Break Fun

These Chapmans are electronic nuts.  Luckily we have a tablet for each of them.

We went to see the Lego Movie and had to stop at the arcade on the way out.


Tessa was sooo tired!

Friday night we were treated to an early birthday dinner at Grandma Ellis'.  


Pretty much the best part of my birthday every year!

Saturday Richard and I took the kids to play at the elementary school playground.  Here's Jacob trying to be brave enough to go down the slide.

I loved the climbing things.

Sophie loves to swing.

Jacob loved climbing up this alone.

Spider web thing.

Sliders.


Triple decker.

Saturday night Josh and Meg came down and the guys tended the kids while Jess, Meg and I went to Women's Conference.  It was so awesome!
Today we went up to Josh and Meg's for dinner.  Cute girls in their dresses.

Having fun in the basement.


The Chapmans were running around wild, so Elliott climbed on the couch and wrapped up in this blanket.  Safer that way.

We drove up and looked at the lot Josh and Meg are building on.  The clouds were so low that they covered the mountain view.

This is close to the plan for their house they hope to start building soon.
Its been so fun to have them visit!

Fun with Grand kids!

Elliott has been so excited about the plastic eggs in the baskets I put out with the EAster decorations that we decided to have an EAster egg hunt with her cousins.  They were so cute hiding eggs from each other and then helping each other find them!

Here they are with their treasures.

We took them all to the Church History museum this afternoon. Here's Sophie's imitation of Moroni.

Elliott at the old tabernacle pulpit.  She kept talking and talking, she's ready for General Conference!

Sophie and her catch.

Elliott pretty much spent all her time in the kitchen, but somehow I didn't get a picture of her there.

While Jacob was napping the girls made these cute crafts with me.  Elliott made one, too.Sophie dancing.
Tessa dancing.

Feeling so blessed!

Things are going well for the Quincys!  Jenny's getting ready to pop!  Josh and Meg sold their house.  Jess is here for a visit.  Jon is doing well in Idaho and working in Washington.
Here's pictures of us at Scheels.
