Easter Weekend

So this Easter seemed to be more crazy than other Easter's. It started off Friday with baking Easter cookies w/ Sharlee Kay while Jon and Brayden went to go get our new trampoline. Another long story (one guess Oklahoma wind), anywho so it was fun baking cookies and I made my own frosting. Wow, never do that. After cookie making we had a popcorn and movie night with the kids.

Saturday morning we woke up and had soccer practice with Brayden, a movie date with Grandma going to see Monsters vs. Aliens (so nice while we ran some errands) and then off to a big Ward Easter Egg hunt out in the country. The kids had a fun day but exhausted.

Then we woke up Easter morning to the Easter bunny and had a wonderful sabbath day with family as we remembered our Savior, Jesus Christ. I am so grateful for his sacrifice and know that he truly does LIVE TODAY! I hope all of you had a wonderful Easter! Love to all!

Here are some fun pictures:

Kindergarten Program

Last week was Brayden's Kindergarten program and it was such a cute performance. I can't believe that I am even old enough to have a child in Kindergarten, it was truly a proud moment in my life as Brayden's mommy. I loved watching him sing at the top of his lungs and have his little shy moments whenever he saw his family in the audience. He did such a great job and we were so impressed with all the kindergarten classes. All the kids were awesome, we couldn't believe that they even remembered the hand motions while singing. I will never forget Brayden's Kindergarten program, I loved every minute of it! Love you son!

Here is Brayden after his performance with his kindergarten teacher, Mrs. Horton (love her):

On the Road Again...

This past weekend we traveled to Albuquerque, New Mexico to visit Jonathan's little sister Joy and the rest of the clan. Joy and Jeff invited us to come out for our sweet new edition Bella Grace's baby blessing. As the weekend came we noticed that there was going to be a major snow storm traveling through Oklahoma, Texas and New Mexico. Scary stuff, right? yeah, so we tried to beat the storm and left Thursday because the weather man said that it would hit Friday.

So we are driving down I-40 East and then all of a sudden 30 minutes past the New Mexico border the blizzard hits us Thursday evening. We didn't think the South west got such bad weather, so we decided to make a decision and sleep over at a Holiday Inn ($100 later, which we found out that we could have gotten a discount if Jon had his federal badge), totally not prepared to spend the night in the hotel. The kids didn't mind at all, they were loving it which made the situation better.

On Friday morning we woke up and realized that it had snowed all night long and the little small town of Tucamcari, NM had over a foot of snow. Crazy! We realized after breakfast, (yummy breakfast) Holiday Inn Rocks! that 1-40 ended up closing both eastbound and westbound. What the heck? So we were stuck, until our wonderful brother-in-law kept us updated on the roads every hour and let us know that the roads were finally open again. Hooray!

So we finally made it to Albuquerque and we were so glad to see Joy and Jeff and their fun kids. Our kids had a blast and our Sharlee got to play with her girl cousins! :) Yeah for girls! I love you Courtney and Jessie, you guys were the best. You made Sharlee feel so at home and got to play with all the girl toys. Loved it! We did some fun things, like having authentic New mexico style mexican food, oh and can't forget Sonic Run (Biggs chicks tradition), went to Old Town and bought some souveniers and then had the Bella's baby blessing and a fun party after. Thanks you guys, so fun in New Mexico!

Here are a few pictures from the trip:


The Boys Chillin'


Bella & Luke


Old Town New Mexico, we had an afternoon where we bought some souveniers and took the kids to the Candy Lady. It was a store full of candy, we let the kids pick whatever they wanted. So fun.


PRETTY IN PINK!



Brayden inside a Air Force helicopter that he Uncle Jeff flies, he absolutely loved it.


Jaden and Brayden


Brayden and Sharlee in the front seat of the helicopter. They loved it!


We had to get a picture of Luke too, he looked so little in this massive machine. :)


I didn't know that there was a BIGGS AVE., I was so excited that I took a picture of it. Great stuff right there, I am so proud to be a Biggs!


Haircut Night! Aunt Joy cut all the boys hair and then they took a big bubble bath in the jetted tub. Someday, I will have my Jetted tub. I can dream right!


Cousins!


Blessing Day, Sweet Bella!
