We had a busy Easter Weekend. On Friday I did the easter party for Emilee's class. We made bunny door knob hangers, had a easter egg hunt and had some yummy treats. I also had a little Easter Party for Christian, Aubrie and Hailee. On Sat. we woke up and went to the Eagle Mountain City Easter Egg Hunt. I wasn't too excited to go to this because the first year we went my kids didn't even get any candy. There were so many kids and not very much candy. This year they at least got some. Hailee got two whole eggs! Then we called the Animal Shelter to see when they closed. They told us noon. So we hurried to Lindon to pick out an Easter cat for our kids. We kept going to the front asking questions about different cats. We'd let them out one at a time to play with them and see how it reacted to four kids. When it was 10 to 12 we went up front to tell them that we picked out a cat. They then informed up that adoptions close at 11:30AM. Well that would have been nice to know at about 11:25AM! They were a bunch of teenagers that just didn't want to do all the paperwork I think. Did they think we went out of our way so we could play with the cats for fun? I was so mad! So then we had to pry our kids away from the cat and try and get them in the car. They were all thinking we were the most evil parents alive! We then called the Spanish Fork Shelter and they closed at 2 PM with adoptions closing at 1:30PM. So we headed off to Spanish Fork to a MUCH cleaner shelter. They had 60 cats to choose from. It was so hard to pick! We finally picked out an adorable black and white male cat. We are still trying to pick out a name. He won't stand still long enough for me to get a picture. As soon as I get one I'll post it! He's a sweet cat who sleeps with the kids and doesn't scratch or bite them even though Hailee sometimes pulls his tail and whiskers.
Easter morning the kids woke up early and had a fun Easter Egg Hunt around the house. Later that day we went to my mom's and had a nice Easter Dinner with the whole family. After dinner we had another Easter Egg Hunt. It was a busy 
and fun day!

You are always on the go and doing fun things!! It sounds like you had an adventure getting the Easter cat, I am glad it all worked out. Your kids look adorable in their Easter attire. What a fun easter!!!
Cheri--
Your kids are adorable--and they always look so happy:) to answer your question about backgrounds--I found a blogspot that explains how to do it--and has free cute backgrounds--if you go to my page and click on Beans link--look on her links for cute backgrounds that will take you to the sight, scroll down and they explain how to use theirs (it was kinda complicated when I did the first time--but is actually quite simple once you figure it out.) Anyway--hope you find it :)

You can sort of see the cat in the one picture. He looks very mellow. I am so happy for you and the kids to have a kitty. I can't wait to come and cuddle him. I so miss having a cat. I love the dogs but they aren't cats!
What adorable grandkids, what can I say?
Love you guys!
The shelter we went to for our kitty was a pain too. What's the deal? I thought they wanted to adopt the kitties out! Anyway, your kiddies are especially cute. Your little girl with the glasses reminds me of my little sister Holly when she was little. Soooo cute!

Cute new background. Did you have to redo all of the "side" stuff?
