Easter 2008

Our Easter weekend started off with us attending the annual Shadow Mountain Easter Egg Hunt at the park right behind our house. It is crazy to think that this is the third year we have been here for it. The kids had so much fun. Peyton is starting to get a little old for the egg hunt, but he had fun afterward playing basketball with his friends. Jack loved every minute of it. He got this new hat for Easter, and he loves wearing it.







Saturday afternoon we dyed Easter eggs. They were pretty impressive!!

Easter morning. The kids were so excited. Easter always reminds me of Ryan's Dad (Grandpa Mike). Mike would always have to hide the eggs 10 times so Tanner and Scout could find them. Well...Ryan has taken over the responsibility. That is what he did all morning long...
Here are the kids in their new Sunday outfits. All three of my men looked so handsome. I love attending church on Easter Sunday. After we got home Ryan made an awesome dinner. We had ham, funeral potatoes, and rolls. He is such an awesome cook. I am so glad that someone in the household is!!
HAPPY EASTER!!!

Our new home

As many of you may know we moved to a new home just down the street from our last one. We have only been at our new place for a few weeks, but we love it so far. The last few pictures are of our backyard. We live right by an awesome park.

Visitors!! Finally!!

It was the second annual Bunderson St. George reunion!! Well...kind of. Heidi, Weston, and girls, Grandma Cindy, Grandpa Danny, Sarah, Kelly, Grandma & Grandpa Taylor were the only ones that could make it this week. Buddy, Jen, Tay, Jared, & Wendy are all coming next week. Yeahh!!! Everyone is desperately seeking sunshine after the winter they have had. I posted a ton of pictures and I don't want to label all of them, so here are a few highlights from our week.

* Grandpa Danny won $400 on the nickel slots in Mesquite. Go Grandpa!!

* The girls had a "quick" shopping spree to the outlet mall. We all got great deals.

* Jordyn got sick the first night she was here and had to go to instacare. I don't think that was a highlight, but it did happen....poor thing.

* The kids had a great time in the swimming pool at the condo. They are all getting so brave with the water. That is a good thing considering half of the family is afraid of water or can't swim.

* The whole crew went to Blue Bunny Ice Cream Shop. It is such a fun place. My dad tried everyones ice cream. It reminded me of Grandma Reva.

* Weston fixed our cable!!! Wooohoo!! and he fixed our grill!!

* Weston's steak bits wrapped in bacon, hmmmm....they were so tasty!!

* Ryan's dutch oven potatoes!!

* Peyton was excited because both of the grandparents pitched in to his "Boise State Football Camp Fund"

* Jack attached himself to Kelly and Sarah, and has not stopped talking about them since. He calls Kelly the "scary monster" and thinks that he is so cool because he lifts him up to the BIG basketball hoop.

* We watched August Rush for the third or fourth time. We love that show!!

* Allie and Jack bonded. They were our night owls and were crazy!

* I introduced to my family to my St. George friends. They could not believe that my parents were that young. They kept saying that they didn't look old enough to be my parents. That was a compliment to them...I think.

* Allie got a new pair of Roxy flip flops!! She would not take them off the entire time she was here. Heidi was a bit worried about getting her to switch when she got back to the cold weather.

* Jordyn was hilarious as always. The kids keep repeating a line that she said while she was here. She had a pop-tart tatoo on her arm the entire week that would not wash off. So one day she said, "I still got my tatoo!" Doesn't sound funny, but she talks in a southern drawl (not sure where that came from) so when she says it, it is funny.

* Heidi got a new tatoo of James Dean on her upper thigh. Hee hee just kidding...just had to throw that one in there!!

I am sure there was a lot more that happened. We all had a great time!! Can't wait until summer to party again!!

Basketball "Stooper STAR!!"

This was Peyton's first year of playing basketball. He is quite the ball handler. We were very impressed with his skills. He practiced everyday, and even had me start getting him up before school to practice his shot. I think that he has enjoyed this sport the most out of all that he has played. I titled this blog entry basketball stooper star because that is what Jack calls Peyton. After every game he would say, "Peyton is the BIG Stooper Star and I am the little Stooper Star. He couldn't say superstar for some reason. Sometimes it even sounded like he was saying stupid star, and Peyton didn't like that very much. There were a few tears shed by Ryan and Chris when the season ended. I think they enjoyed going to the games and yelling the ENTIRE game. It was good yelling, but sometimes I had to tell them to calm down. They both get so excited!! We all enjoyed this season, and can't wait for next year.

I don't have a picture of the entire team, but the picture above is of Peyton's buddies from the neighborhood; Cole Johnson and Maysen Fielding. I think they were trying to look tough for this shot.

Break it down boys!!

Check Out my boys Break Dancin.. Ryan really got back his old moves. We all know that he was champion breakdancer in grade school!!

Grandpa Danny!!

Jack named the snowman Grandpa Danny because of the big nose!! No just kidding!! He loved the snowman so much he had to give it a big hug before he came in. Grandpa's nose isn't that big!!

Snow In ST GEORGE!!!

It started snowing during the superbowl today. The kids were so excited. I dug out all of our old snow gear and we went out to build a snowman. The kids thought that the jazz flag was the perfect way to finish it. Jack had so much fun. He hasn't really ever played in the snow. He didn't want to come in, but his cheeks were so red and he got cold. Peyton was a little bummed that he couldn't practice basketball. He plays everyday!!
