This year for Easter, we had Radlee (Jackson's brother) and Jaime (Radlee's girlfriend) over for the weekend. Rad had made some arrangements with his friends to do some stuff in Salt Lake during Easter weekend, so luckily for us, we got to visit with him and Jaime most of the weekend. Not only that but Radlee and Jaime met Braxton for the first time. Unfortunately we didn't get any pictures of Jaime and Braxton together, which is surprisingly odd because Jaime was a huge help with Braxton and was constantly helping out when she could. I do think the one we did get of Rad and Braxton turned out pretty cute. It was way fun to have the extra company around this last weekend. Thanx Rad and Jaime for coming up to visit!
After Radlee and Jaime left Easter morning, we decided to color some eggs. We tried to do it Saturday with the both of them but we just never found the time to do it. Jackson isn't much into coloring eggs but because I like to do it, he's a good sport and colors eggs with me. I separated our eggs for us to do; he did 12 and I did 12. I took time to write stuff on mine with a white crayon and Jackson, for the most part, just dropped his eggs in colors and called it good. I was just happy he was willing to sit there and color eggs with me, even though he's not as much into it as I am. We tried another type of coloring kit this year as well as the liquid dye. You put the egg into the bag and drop some drops of color from a pouch into the bag and smear the color all over the egg. Jackson did most of those type of eggs since I wanted to use the white crayon and use the liquid dye for most of my eggs.

This picture below is of a different colored type of egg using the bag method. It made the egg look shiny.
Jackson goofing off, this is when he wrote "hi" on the egg, we both had a good laugh when I pulled his egg out of the liquid dye and saw that it was all he had to say on the egg. :)
All the eggs on the right are the eggs I did. Jackson's eggs were the ones on the left including the egg with Maximus's name on it that is down front in center.
Had to take a picture of ourselves with our boys and the eggs with their names on it. Maximus of course had dirt on his nose and I didn't look my best but I still wanted to make memories no matter how bad we looked.
Jackson and Braxton of course looked super cute!
We were invited over to Easter dinner to our friend Michelle's house, so after coloring eggs, we headed on over to their house for some food and games. It was great fun and we are so grateful to have them live so close! Their little boy Keegan got to hold Braxton and we got some cute pictures of the both of them.
These last two pictures are of Braxton and Maximus that Jackson took.
Jackson loves to try and take pictures of the both of them together.
Overall our Easter was fun and we are grateful for our Savior and for all our many blessings!
