Our Easter Weekend with family, friends, and an Olympic Gold Medalist

What a wonderful Easter weekend! The Pitcher's came up to visit us for a few days and we have had such a great time playing with our cousins!!! We started things off right away with a fun Easter egg hunt that we put on over at our park. We had lots of friends and neighbors come and the kids all accumulated WAY too much candy! Saturday we drove out to Middleton to watch Nate and Justin and the rest of Team CF compete in the Bike and Trike Race. The kids had lots of fun playing in the bounce house and we had fun cheering all of our guys on! They all look so cute in their new jerseys! After the race our team met Kristin Armstong (Olympic gold medalist-the winner of the Women's Time trial in the 2008 Summer Olympics.) She wanted to know more about what team CF stood for and was impressed with the team's message.
*Maybe I haven't mentioned that Nate's team and fellow riders formed TEAM CF to raise awareness about Cystic Fibrosis. We have some dear friends that have 2 sons who are dealing with this disease. One of the boys (Kim) rode in the race on Saturday. He is such a great kid..we were proud of him for even attempting to race with all of these crazy biking men!
After the men raced there was a kid's race. Parker was VERY disappointed that his tire popped before the race started. I found an older kid and asked him if we wouldn't mind racing Parker and letting him win. We let Parker ride on Dallin's bike and Parker thought he WON the race. He went from bawling and sobbing to happy and elated. Shhhhh...don't tell him what I did! haha



After the race we came home to celebrate the twins birthday! Kaiden and Keagan are 3!!! Easter morning was fun! The kids were all thrilled to see that the Easter Bunny had come. We did a little hunt in the backyard and got all ready for church. No pics of my kids in their Easter shirts.....too much going on!
After church we went over to my parent's house for a classic ham and funeral potato dinner! YUM! We walked down to the river to throw rocks. The kids had a great time.

Such a fun weekend! It's just too bad that it went by so fast!
