Easter Fun April 7th and 8th, 2012

Decorating the Easter Eggs

I'm pretty sure Polly just finished reading dad's egg!

I told the kids to pick their favorite egg to show in the picture.

So here is Scott's favorite egg. It says....."You break my shell, I'll break your face!" Oh my goodness, his other egg said, "You crack me up!"

I told Patrick to pick his favorite egg, and he picked up one of Scott's. I guess he wasn't satisfied with his own. By the way Patrick got his mission call on April 13, 2012 and he is going to St. Peters berg, Russia. He leaves June 6, 2012. He has been a super example to DeWitt, and a wonderful friend to have in our home.

Oh Lilly just couldn't decide which egg was her favorite, so she went with all three. I know the black and white one is a penguin, and it is very cute.

Polly is having her first movie star crush! She made this egg in honor of Peeta from Hunger Games. The other day Polly said to me, "mom I love Peeta from the Hunger Games so much it hurts my heart" and she pointed to her heart. Awwww so cute. She told Allison and Allison empathised with her. She said "I know for the longest time I wanted to live at Hog Warts." She said, "it never gets better Polly." My eggs were sentimental, stuff like.....I miss Allison, and I miss Dallin and Scott plus Rebecca. Ha nothing like "you break my shell I break your face" Goodness. You crack my up Scott.

Easter basket time. Polly's was a bit harder this year, I think she was happy about that.

Polly was so happy to find her basket.

Lillian is excited about the new cool socks.

Going through the loot

DeWitt's last year with us. Happy and sad thought

Our beautiful niece, Savannah, and her sister Britney.

Grandma Sherry was happy to get a basket too.

The puzzle, one week later. Putting in the last piece. The last two pieces couldn't be found anywhere. So finally Lillian looked in her Easter basket and found one, and Polly looked in hers and couldn't find it. She was so frustrated. DeWitt was teasing her that she wouldn't have closure and for her whole life she would have unresolved issues with puzzles. Finally she told me to look again in her Easter basket and there it was, so now we have no future worries concerning puzzles.

Patrick and his basket, and the finished puzzle. He was having his own little obsession with it, and put in a lot of effort on it. He kept rubbing the finished product, saying how good it felt.

DeWitt having a "jam session" with our good friend Tommy Schnell, who came over for lunch everyday for 2 years. He would always tell us that his hopes and dreams in life were to live in the forest and be a hobo. He would find a hobo wife and play guitar to earn money. At the time he didn't even know how to play the guitar. So now, 4 years later he plays beautifully, and he owns 3 guitars, knows how to build them, and his going to live his dream this summer in the UK. He is going to live in the forest and be a hobo. Just his guitar, and a sleeping bag. That's what you get when you dream. They come true. You go Tommy!!!!

Our Annual Biggs Desert Picnic

Ah, I love this time of year. I love the tradition that the Biggs' have of have a desert, breakfast picnic. It's a lot of work for mom and dad, but we all enjoy it, and it gets us away from our busy lives for just a bit, which is great. Mom making her famous cheese biscuits. I've tried and can't quite make them the same as she does.

Mingling with the family.

My main squeeze.

Scott loves it when the little kids want to talk with him. Here is Lindsay showing him her treasures.

Mary and Rebecca making, potatoes and bacon

Oh goodness, if Polly and Isabel look a little frightened, it's because they truly are. They were out hiking in the desert, and Polly bent down to pick a flower and about a foot away from her hand was a rattle snake coiled and shaking it's rattle. They ran and ran fast down the hill. Scott went up to find the snake, but it must have already moved on. That's the only thing that I don't like about the desert picnic, is the possibility of snakes. I'm so grateful that they didn't get bitten.

Scott and my chugga boy, (Luke) having so good dutch oven food.

Scott, Lillian and Polly

Grandpa, doin his thang!!! He is pretty good, I mean look at those biscuits!!!

Enjoying the hard work.

There's something about little boys and fires. These boys had no problem taking our used plates, because they wanted to throw them in the fire, and watch them burn!

Cute cousins, Polly and Isabel

Carson you lucky skunk!

Two cute smiles. Lillian and Jared.

Rylie and Lillian

We were going on a hike to find a geo cash treasure. It was longer than the kids thought, but it was fun.

The kids finding the geo cash. Thanks Tyson for showing us this fun game.

Brianna, Kirtlyn, Brinley, Carson, Thomas, Lindsay, Hyrum, Polly, Isabel, Luke, Rylie, and Lillian

This is where the geo cash treasure was.

Something about Scott draws the kids to him. Maya was happy to be carried by this handsome man.

I guess Lillian, Mary, and Polly thought that they should do some lunges to work off that yummy breakfast.

Concrete again April 6th 2012

This is a true story of unbelievable success and dedication!!!!

Scott, DeWitt, and Patrick help to pour the footing of the newest apartment building to be built by the strong hands of my favorite person and yours, yes Mr. Scott Evans.

More concrete work. The boys said that they missed Allison. Last time they had to load up wheel barrows, this time Scott left space for the truck to drive right along side of where they needed to pour.
