Easter 2011

The Easter bunny left some fun treats in our Easter baskets!



We grew wheat grass in our baskets this year! They were very cute, but the grass took up a lot of room in those little baskets. Next year we will buy bigger ones.





Aaron was very embarrassed to be posing for pictures with his sisters in front of everyone at church. Oh well, he survived!



After church we came home for lunch with family, and then of course an Easter egg hunt!

























Charlotte had to stop hunting because she had no more room to put the eggs!

Charlotte goes flying!!

Charlotte has been promised, since the day that Aaron went flying 3 years ago, that she would get a turn to go with Daddy. She hasn't let us forget it either!

The day before Easter was a perfect time for them. The weather was nice and Nick didn't have any obligations ( a very rare occurrence) so off they went.





I guess it was a bit sunny for her little eyes.





Looking very serious while she was in control of the plane so Daddy could take her picture!

Nick called us as they were taking off and we went outside to watch them fly circles over our house!





She did such a good job flying the plane that she got a bag of popcorn, 2 cookies and a Capri Sun!

Talent Show

While Nick was still in SLC for his interview, our ward had a talent show. I made Aaron sign up to play a song on the piano. He didn't want to, so I gave him the option of singing or playing piano. He quickly chose piano. I let him choose the song, and he decided on Red River Valley. He memorized it and played it perfectly.... but he was still a little nervous. Grandpa was over and picked up the guitar while Aaron was practicing at home and before long, the piano piece became a duet! Aaron felt much better about that!

I may be biased, but I thought they were the best in the whole show!

Easter Potluck

Elsie's preschool had a little potluck for Easter. She was excited about it all week. It was a simple little potluck, and the girls got to go on an Easter egg hunt!

Also, this is where we were when we got the text from Nick that he was hired by Sky West!

One Of The Boys

Aaron is very much enjoying being old enough to hang out with the guys. He goes almost everywhere his daddy does (except to PlayStation fests because mommy doesn't approve of most of the games!)

Uncle Christian is a good sport about Aaron tagging along, in fact he makes Aaron feel like he is just one of the boys. Which is one of the many reasons why I love him!!

Going shooting is Aaron's favorite activity to do with dad. I even pulled Aaron out of school early one day of Nick's last week before training so he could go with him.

Nick took the camera on this trip and took fabulous pictures!







(I have to admit that these next two pictures were a little hard for me to look at)
