i win! i win! i win!

i entered into a giveaway on jackie sarager's blog. i never win anything, but i entered nonetheless. she was giving away one of her accessory bags, which she made for her recently opened etsy shop. they are super cute!! this is the one i like the best!! if you want to check out her etsy shop, you can do that here!! enjoy!!

so many things to blog about!!!

first of all, i found my camera...ok jonathan found the camera. i left it in the backpack we took with us to prescott. happy and sad. happy that i have my pictures from prescott, sad because we were about to buy a new camera. a better one. no dice now! anyway, prescott was fun!! ok, so after prescott and spring break were over, we went hiking to the wind caves. but first we made a stop over at shelley goodman's house for the boys haircuts!! the boys were terribly horrible, of course and it probably took longer than it normally would, though i wouldn't know because jonathan always insists on doing the haircuts himself. yay for shelley doing them this time!! they were a much needed improvement! thanks again, shelley!! we also had fun dyeing easter eggs and making treats.we took an eventful trip to phoenix via light rail. i will never make that trip again. at least not with my kids. cody and carson kept pushing the emergency call button. oops. lots of easter egg hunts, chocolate, marshmallows and fun soon followed!! there are a million pictures, sorry!!

cody dumping out pine cones from mini wheel barrow, much to carson's annoyance

cody and carson saying cheese for the camera at the wind caves

this picture is really dark, but my sister tiff and her kids, my sister-in-law eden and my kids all hung out on friday and made some yummy treats (at least they tasted good, right?) dyed eggs, and made bunny ears. at one point, roxcy-roo lost her bunny ears and was walking around yelling,"bunny?!" so cute!!

cody loves the camera, he always leans forward though when he says cheese.

all the kids in their bunny ears:cody, roxcy, carson, mckay and jaden

i was and still am so excited about these. they are supposed to be eggs (the bigger ones look better) they have prizes inside!! the blue ones are carson and cody's and the pink ones were for avery and adelyn, but they were never claimed. i blew up balloons and papier mached them. when they were dry, i cut an x in them and put things inside. then, i mod podged colorful paper over the top and finished them off with a huge amount of spray glitter. super easy, super fun!! the boys were so excited to find these on easter morning. i am definitely going to do these again!!

the boys not looking at the camera for the sarager easter egg hunt. they had tons of fun with uncle momo helping with the search for the precious eggs

yeah, the boys didn't waste any time with their easter baskets!! they were so quiet and sneaky so i knew they were looking at them!!

carson using his super spy magnifying glass to make sure his giant egg was in fact, his

cody was excited too

this is the final easter egg hunt at my parents house. carson was looking forward to this hunt so much!! he helped pick out the eggs to stuff. they had a ton of fun: quinn, mckay, carson, cody and jaden. roxcy was asleep. more eggs for the rest of them, i guess!! yay for a fun easter!!!

spring!!

we just jumped into the pool!! we were working outside and i mentioned that i was so hot i wanted to jump in the pool with my clothes on. so, Jonathan went in and got his swimsuit and the boys swimsuits on. carson jumped in and was definitely taken by surprise!! it was so cold! he had a hard time swimming to the side. jonathan had to stick his leg out so he could grab it! then jonathan kept acting like he was going to jump in, then wouldn't. i dove in fully clothed and was it cold!! i'm sure if i would've stayed in and swam around, i would've warmed up just a little. cody was standing on the steps and putting his arms in and also throwing rocks in. jonathan kept saying he was going to jump in and after about fifteen minutes, he finally jumped in. then he swam laps. then he dove to the bottom and scooped up the rocks. then he swam laps again. when he was being a wuss and wouldn't jump in i told him so. i now retract that statement. congrats hun, you win. and i was the coldest one!!

help?!

anyone seen my camera? i went to the zoo on friday with my sister tiffany and it wasn't in my bag then. i can't remember the last time i took a picture. i have been kinda on a crazy-take-a-million-pictures-a-day kick. i have cute pictures of my boys in prescott during spring break and haven't seen it since!! maybe i left it there!! i hope not!! anyway, that's why i haven't posted the rest of spring break pictures!! i hope i find it soon or it'll be no more pics for the saragers for a while!!! wow, that's a lot of exclamations. wish me luck.
