Sydney's favorite part of Easter egg hunts is finding the eggs and eating what is in them.

Mom and Dad

This year we had everyone over to our house.  I was a little nervous at first knowing we were feeding 28 people but of course I set the tables and provided the house and the moms did the rest.  It turned out perfect and all the kids had a great time hunting Easter eggs and playing inside and out.  We miss our family who couldn't be here with us.  We were delighted to share scriptures of Christ and FOOD with our family and friends.  Happy Easter!!!

Cousins

Easter wishes

We just wanted to send our love this Easter season.  It is a time to reflect on Christ and be thankful for family and friends.  I took some pics of the girls last Sunday which I thought were absolutely adorable.  We love you.

The Cowans

North Carolina

We had the opportunity to visit my brother's family in North Carolina about a week ago.  We were able to attend my niece, Kaelyn's, baptism into the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints and also be there for the blessing of my new niece Maia.  We stayed in a hotel where Mary Frances favorite thing was the pull out couch which made into a bed.  The girls got to hang out with their cousins Kaelyn, Kenton, and Emma and just look at new 1 wk old Maia.  They got to swim in the hotel pool, play outside on the swingset, go to a Science Museum in Greensboro, watch the Bee movie, and go to several malls.  The girls even got to sleep in the same bed since Sydney would not stay in her port a crib.  Sydney and Mary Frances definately had a great time. We were able to see Corbin's cousin Johnna and her daughter Christiana in Durham and it was wonderful to see Justin and Katie and their kids.  

Mary Frances bday at Oklahoma Gold

Mary Frances seems to alway have several bday parties so of course we had to have one back in Oklahoma with her friends here.  She wanted a Littlest Pet Shop party and we decided to do it at Oklahoma Gold Gymnastics.  She had Sariah, Rachel, Ellen, Danica, Haley, Brooklyn, Nicole and Sydney as her guests.  The kids had such a blast they had no desire to stop for food or cake.  Mary Frances had a blast and her favorite thing was the trampoline.
