Easter and Much Much More

Uncle Brian and Kayden

We got back on Monday night from a Fabulous Easter Vacation. I will have to post pictures over a couple of days, because we took sooo many. We started out in Idaho. Brock's brother Brian had his mission farewell so the family all got together. The Bushlings came up from Southern California, so unfortunately we were only missing the Walkers. On Saturday we announced to the family that we are expecting. I made a little shirt for Kayden that said "I am going to be a big brother" and we just waited to see if anyone would notice what he was wearing. No one really did, and we had to point it out to everyone but Marcie, but it was a really fun way to announce our BIG news. We got to go out bowling that night with the family. Don't ask Brock what his score was....some of his nieces and nephews did a little better granted they had bumpers! On Sunday Brian gave an amazing talk, and then after sacrament little Aspyn was blessed by Grandpa Ellis. It was such a special day. We had a wonderful lunch after that, and Brock got to see a lot of his aunts and uncles and family he rarely ever gets to see. Brock took all the grand kids for a ride on the 4-wheeler for hours and they just loved it. Kayden even got to sneak in a little ride. On Monday it was Paytons 8th birthday so we celebrated by going to Blast Off and letting the kids run for a couple of hours. Kayden loved the ball pit. He can't get enough of balls, so a pit full of lots of them was a huge excitement.

On Tuesday all the women went out to Olive Graden for a girls day, and then went shopping while the men took all the kids to the movie to see Horton Hears a Who. It was Kayden's first movie in a theater and Brock said he did suprisingly well. He had plenty of snacks and a pop to entertain him while he watched. He got a little antsy toward the end, so they just ended up running around on the ramps, but he did pretty good which is impressive for his age. Late on Tuesday we headed down to Salt Lake to stay with my sister to start our trip to Pheonix. I will post more on our trip later.
