EASTER!!!!

Every year for Easter, we go camping with the whole Evans clan! It is a lot of fun and my kids look forward to it every year. This year was pretty cool because it was Randi and her families first year to be able to join us!!

My Grandpa Evans is a little crazy with his HUGE dog!! We are the only ones that have a trailer in my family, so everybody else stays in a motel room close by and comes and enjoys the fun!!

Aunt Kellie and Sue always do a HUGE Easter hunt!! It takes her 2.5 hours just to put everything everywhere!!!

a couple of shots of the kids gathering their goodies..........

WOW.....I think they scored!!

Branson learned not to mess with the big boys......or they will mess with you!!

He was covered in silly string!

Im so glad that we took Meah's bike.......she had a blast!!

It wouldn't be the same without a couple of games of horseshoes.....and a little trash talking!!

WE ALL THE THE FOUR WHEELERS........

EVERYBODY GOT A TURN..........

SO MUCH FUN!

Branson loved going on all of the hills......

THE EASTER BUNNY FOUND THE STAFFORD KIDS!!!

They all got swimming suits and flip flops.....Branson was surprised with his first cell phone.....Chnatry got fingernail polish and the "just Dance" wii game......Sairee got nail poish and a "bumpit" haha upon request!!.........Meah got a nurf gun and a DVD!!

This is such a great tradition that our family has and I hope it always continues!!!

Hope you all had a great Easter!

KARCYN LEE MANGUM WAS BLESSED BY HER DADDY!!

Jess and Mike decided to have her blessed at Papa and Nana Evans' house on Thursday April 1st so that Randi and Aaron could be here and so that we could do it before Easter Sunday!

Picture time with little Tyce man!!

playing in the backyard at nana and papa's.......

It was so fun to have all of us there to support Jess and Mike and little Karcyn.....we love her so much!!!

Chantry's family party!!

Chantry got ALOT of money from her family and she loved every second of it!!

She was saving up for her very own itouch. We told her she could not have on until

she was 12......but if she saved her money and bought her own then she could get one now!

We didn't really think that she would do it, but she did!!

We have so much fun when family comes over!

I think that my kids have the best grandparents around:)

Lots of fun and ALWAYS good food.......

and of course the boys have to have a basketball game before the party is over!!

We feel so blessed to have such great people in our family!

Chantry's 10th birthday party!!

23 crazy girls....(chantry is in the middle by the balloons)

We decided to have Chantry's birthday at Lava Ridge Int. School(where Brook's works) We pilled them all on the "neighborhood bus" and drove them to the school with music blasting!!

They ate pizza and then played a balloon game, each team had to wrap 1 person in tape(sticky side out) while the others blew up balloons and stuck them on that person. The person with the most balloons stuck to them in 1 minute, WINS!! It was fun......

These crazy girls thought the balloons "added" to their outfits!!

We all remember this game from elementary right???

it is fun........

We also had relay races....the one in the pink shirt is rylee, she is spinning 3 times around the baseball bat the running to the finish!!

getting ready to race........

look at Chantry yelling her team on.......haha

Of course Nana Lisa made an awesome bubble gum machine cake!!!

Who needs matches when you have a BLOW TORCH!!!

singing...........

I forgot to add time in for opening presents!! Holy cow it took forever which made us a little behind schedule.......Oh well we had fun!!

Thanks to all of Chantry's friends for coming, I feel so blessed that my kids have such great friends!! With all of the $$$ that she got between friends and family, she saved up for an itouch! YAY it saved me $200.oo.......and she decided that she would save up since I told her that if we bought it then she wouldn't get one until she was 12.....and she wanted it NOW!!

Happy Birthday Channny!!

scroll down........

I just don't want any of you to miss my cute pics of baby Karcyn......so scroll down. I put them on today,but they were saved as a draft.....so they got posted after Jamie and Elle's bday pics. I keep telling Jess that she has to see them and then I messed up and now it looks like I haven't updated my blog.......whatever.....you know what I mean:)

HAPPY BIRTHDAY JAMIE AND ELLE!!!

THE BIRTHDAY GIRLIES!!!

Happy birthday Jamie......thanks for being such a great sister and such an AMAZING aunt to my kids! I feel so blessed to have such great sisters and we all get along so good.....

Im so glad you married who you did! People are always telling us that we look so much alike and you also married someone that is so much like my hubby!! Kit is so great to you and you two are going to be such cute parents!!

I love that you can still act like a dork and be silly!!! Im so thankful for the relationship that we have and also the relationship that you share with my children......Thanks for all you do for my family and I.....Love ya Jamie!!!

Now for little miss thang.......Happy Birthday Elle!!

Elle is such a little princess and loves to dress up, she puts on a dress for awhile, then takes it off and switches to a different dress and she loves her dress up shoes!!

Elle likes spending time with Chantry.....they are both just so SASSY!! She is such a cutie and I can't believe that she is already 3!!!

Love ya Elle!!!

Taking pictures with baby Karcyn........

I took some pictures of the girls with Karcyn a couple of weeks ago.....This was the first day that I tended her and the girls were so excited that they had no school that day, so they could play with the baby!!

I think that they were a little disappointed when the baby just wanted to sleep the whole time! haha.....I tried to tell them that she wasn't going to be able to really PLAY with them!

Channy loves baby Karcyn and thinks that she is old enough to walk around with her, but I freak out and tell her that maybe when the baby is a little older!!

Sairee is such a great cousin....she could hold her all day!

Meah even got to feed her a bottle and she felt so big because after the bottle she got her to sleep.... just sat there and patted her back!!

I could just eat her right up!!!

I wish I would have gotten pictures with Branson......he was so cute with her! When I watched her last week, he came straight home and didn't even bring any friends home.....SHOCKER!! He went straight to the bathroom and washed his hands and sat and held her forever and he even fed her a bottle!! I love watching my kids with her. It makes me a little sad that I will never have another baby.....but I think I will get over it. haha......Im glad that I can watch her and spend time with her every week!!
