We started the day with the Neighborhood/Ward Easter Egg Hunt, which was very short and sweet. Sadie filled her bag with eggs and Emmy was satisfied with just a few. They are totally getting the hang of this Easter Egg hunting thing.
Sadie was a bit annoyed that we had to wait a few minutes for the hunt to start.

Right after that we went to the ISU Easter carnival and made crafts and had lunch. They are actually having the Easter Egg Hunt this Saturday (the 22nd) for some reason and not the same day as the carnival.
Sadie won a Phineus and Ferb gift basket. We seem to always win something at all of these family activities. I guess that is our tuition money hard at work. It is next to impossible to get this girl to look at the camera when I am taking a picture...
So she finally gave me a close-up.
Brian worked in the basement the rest of the day and it was just KILLING Sadie because she really wanted to decorate eggs. So finally by around 6:45pm we started decorating and eating eggs.
We didn’t have any carrots, but we had some other things for the Easter bunny. It is probably good that Sadie didn’t see Emmy eating the Easter bunnies food because it would have ticked her off!
During the Saturday priesthood session of conference we had a girls night with Grandma and went shopping, out to eat and to the park to play.
Sadie was teaching Brian how to do an arabesque. Brian looks more like he is doing a Superman pose with his fist. 
Emmy thinks my phone is hers and is on it all day either watching family videos or playing Angry Birds. This is right after she killed some pigs on Angry Birds.
More from Utah... I was so lazy in Utah and didn’t pull out my nice camera for anything, so here is a few pictures from my phone. Sadie and Emmy were super gassy after our drive down from Idaho so I told them to have a tooting contest. It was hilarious, but maybe you just had to be there
Lisa likes to take us to the latest and greatest restaurant finds throughout the valley. We had some yummy crepes at this place. Brian and Lisa were such a great auntie and uncle to my girls while we were there visiting!

Brian has been doing such an awesome job balancing work, school and finishing the basement. It’s such a huge project and I feel bad that I can’t help more, esp since we are in the middle of painting and it would go so much faster with two people. Brian spent 14 hours on Saturday and another eight hours today painting. Such a daunting task... Here are a few pictures of the basement from two weeks ago. I forgot to mention Brian added really fun molding/shelves in each of the bedrooms too (no pictures of these yet, sorry). He has been adding a lot of cool custom details. I think it is awesome that Brian is such a handyman! The things you don’t know about a person until you get married and into a house!
You can kind of see the two different shades of blue I was trying out for the girls room. I love the one on the right.
Sadie loves seeing the progress in the basement just as much as Brian and I do. She is getting excited for a new bunk bed and a room designated for all of her toys!
