Easter 2012

  

 The Easter Bunny Came!

 Kabree was very excited to see eggs

 Wow, a new Barbie movie!

 Zach and Daisy joined in the hunt

This picture reminds me so much of Kabree's Keri

     We had a wonderful Easter this year!  Zach and I were hoping to sleep in a bit but at seven on the dot I heard Kabree running for the living room.  I yelled "freeze and wait for us, we want to see if the Easter bunny came too"  Kabree "oh, man", she reluctantly came back down the hall and waited for us to come out too.  She was very excited to discover there were eggs hidden all over the living room and the Easter bunny left Kabree a play set from The Princess and The Frog movie, he also left her a new Barbie movie and a package of peeps.  She loved finding the eggs and even Daisy got a little excited helping with the ones under the dresser.  After finding eggs Zach made us some blueberry muffins for breakfast, Kabree's favorite breakfast "breakfast cupcakes".  Kabree was also excited to wear her new dress that Grandma Sally gave her, she informed me I needed to fix her hair and paint her nails : ).  We had so much fun this morning with our Little Miss.  Then we got to go enjoy church, we are so thankful for our Savior Jesus Christ and the sacrifices he made for us, I love Easter for all of the fun things of the holiday but most of all to remember how  loved we are by our Father in Heaven and our brother Jesus Christ.

Family Easter Party 2012

 Lynden, Kabree, and Paisley

 Ready to go 

The little girls found some eggs

 So did Kab's

 They loved the pin wheels best

 Checking out Grandpa's basket

 Doing a little happy dance

 Lynden snuggled down for the movie

 Kabree was very into the movie

    Kabree loves Easter, mainly for the eggs I won't lie, she lives dying them, she loves hiding them and most of all loves finding them.  So when I told her we were doing an Easter egg hunt at Grandpa Gary's and Grandma Sally's she was pretty excited.  That's all she could talk about yesterday and first thing this morning, "let's go to the party, come on let's go".  The fact it didn't start until noon was pure torture to this little miss.  While Grandpa Gary grilled the hamburgers up on the deck Kabree peeked through the rails to try to see the eggs.  She was pretty excited to see a pile of them on the grass and would point them out to anyone who walked by.  She even tried to convince one or two to go down and get them.  After we quickly ate it was on to the Easter egg hunt.  Kabree loved finding the eggs and Grandma had marked the eggs with their initials to make sure everyone got eggs, so Kabree kind of thought it was fun to look for the K on her eggs.  She thought the eggs were great but she loved the pin-wheels that Grandma had marking the piles of eggs, I think that was all three girls favorite part.  She did get pretty excited over the ice cream cone bubbles too though.  After the fun egg hunt they took their goodies inside and started Madagascar.  Kabree was very into it and Lynden got all snuggled down in all the pillows and blankets.  Paisley went and laid down with her Megan who had to work tonight.  Kabree had so much fun and family Easter parties are always my favorite too!  Thanks Grandma Sally and Grandpa Gary!

Dyeing Easter Eggs

 Miss Kabree Lee

 Justice took it seriously

 Hanna

 Shay

 Kabree was pretty proud of her decorating skills

    We decided to dye Easter eggs today.  I told the kids yesterday we would and first thing this morning they started asking "when are we doing eggs".  We tried a variety of techniques dye sticks, crayons, good old fashioned dyeing in cups and stickers.  Our favorite every year seems to be the dye sticks.  Kabree and Justice loved dyeing their eggs then sticking lots of stickers on them.  We had a lot of fun and the mess...wasn't too bad, let's just leave it at that : ). 

Missing You

    So many little things have been bringing up memories as of late.  I love my family so much and my heart still aches for those who have passed.  Kabree very innocently asked this past week "Shay where's your Mommy" Shay "She isn't here" Kabree "Shay where your Mom at?" I intervened "Aunt Lyndell got very sick with cancer and passed away" Kabree now very concerned  "Oh, Shay where is your Mom?" Shay "She's in Heaven with Aunt Shawnta, Uncle Jared and Un..uh Kevin" Kabree "Can we see her in heaven?" Shay "Some day we will".  For the most part we have good days but every once in awhile those sad ones catch up to us.  So today I want to say almost 9 years later for Jared and Kevin and 5 years later for Shawnta and Lyndell I still miss you guys and love you with all my heart.  Thank you for all the amazing, crazy, hilarious, fun memories I will forever cherish.

The walk down to the pasture made Ebony tired,

so Katie tried to hitch a ride for her

    We had a great Spring Break full of lots and lots of Arbon and cousin time, Kabree's favorite things.  We spent lots of time outside visiting horses, riding in aunt Jessica's wagon and just saying hi to all the guys working.  As everyone knows that Pal is Kabree's number one horse, man, living thing in the world, everyday required a visit to him.  Monday they vaccinated and wormed horses so on Tuesday the horses were all a bit blah.  As we were walking to Palls corral Kabree started yelling "Pal it's me boy Kabree Tarbet" then her insanely high pitched loud horse call noise thank you Larin and Dad for teaching her that by the way.  Anyways, she yelled that for several yards then when we got to the corral Pal was at the other end and sadly looked at us then turned his head away and would never come to us.  After a few minutes Kabree very sadly turns to walk away and says "bye Pal, see you later, then you let me pet you ok".  It was so sad.  But he did make up for it the next day by giving her lots of snuggles.  We got to go check cows a couple times with Uncle Larin, sorry no pictures of that.  Saturday when the guys came in for lunch Kabree grabbed my Mom's tote of books set it next to the chair walked over to Shawn and says "Shawn, come on you read to me"  So Shawn sat and read to Kabree for half an hour before he fell asleep.  A couple times she would tap his shoulder "Wake up!  You need to read to me Shawn wake up!"  Friday the first baby colt of the year was born so Saturday when they guys all headed to the priesthood session Jessica and I took the kids for a walk to the pasture to check it out.  Since Heather was on a trip for Spring Break I had Ebony.  She got pretty tired on the walk there but she was too excited to ride in the wagon on the way back, so needless to say she got a good workout for a pug.  We ended the night with ice cream and Larin and Jessica's.  It was a great week with lots of outside time which we have desperately been craving we cannot wait for more warm weather to come.
