Sacramento Zoo

Today we went to the Sacramento Zoo for one our excursions. I am so glad we are starting weekly excursions again because it gives us something fun to look forward to each week. It was a small group this time but we had a great time.

Train Ride! I sort of wish they didn't even have this train at the Zoo since the kids seem to care about this more than the animals....

Such a great time with such great friends!

Yanagi

Whenever we visit the family in Alamo we usually just hang out at my parents house. I thought this time it might be nice for just the adults to go out to dinner without kids. We had such a great time and definitely will make this a more regular thing. We are so grateful to Alyssa for taking one for the team to watch Preston, Tanner and Kayden. She will definitely be at the next one!

 Aaron and I were brave and ordered our own sushi. It was really good!

Juliette snuck in but she behaved herself and slept most of the time. Such a fun time, can't wait for the next one!

Easter

Preston had fun dying Easter eggs on Saturday so the Easter bunny could hide them on Sunday.

Easter morning he was so happy to find that the Easter bunny filled his basket!

Tanner was also happy and made his way to his basket all by himself!

Brothers

Ready for his egg hunt!

My darling boys after church

In the late afternoon we headed down to Aaron's Aunt Janice's house for dinner and another hunt. It was so fun to see all these cousins and second cousins running around collecting eggs. Luckily the huge rain storm earlier in the day didn't stop them!

We are so blessed to know that our Savior truly lives and to be able to celebrate His resurrection on Easter Sunday. We look forward to teaching both our boys more about the true meaning of Easter as they get older and always hope to keep the focus on Him.
