Easter 2012

So as Ferguson tradition goes we made "bunny bags" on Saturday night.

It was quite the success!!

& the BUNNY found & filled them ALL!!!

We even got to have a MAJOR egg hunt around our house, as Madsen tradition go.

{80ish eggs for 3 kids ... they LOVED it}

& then we enjoyed BUNNY pancakes --- & for some REASON unknown to me blogger keeps TURNING this pic of my pancakes --- ANNOYING!!!!

ANYWWAYS --- They were delicious & it was a fun morning filled with walks & getting ready for church. As we were gathering the kids for pics we couldn't find Kye!!!

--- he ended up being ASLEEP on the floor of our room, so no pics of all the kids until AFTER church.

SOOOO, you all know those were quality --- I'll post those LATER!

We got MORE ...

... CHICKS!!!

Wait for it ....

Wait for it ...

... & here they are ...

... you can't tell in this picture, but Kye was SCREAMING bloody murder when this chick flew out of the box. He was NOT happy & WILL not hold them to this day!

Bring on the EGGS!!!

Now we have 8, & 2 of these chicks will lay WHITE eggs so we can dye Easter Eggs NEXT year ... I missed it this year!!! :(

Easter Extravaganza Fergy Style ---

I know I'm WAAA-AY behind, but here's go ... we got to have a lovely Easter Brunch at my Mom's & Dad's the Saturday before Easter. It was yumm-o food, good company, & LOVELY weather!

{The day before it had SNOWED, but this day turned out BEAUTIFUL!}

{Cousin time is ALWAYS fun}

{FOOD}

{the lil picky runt of our family ate the MOST of all the kids --- 3 crepes, plus extras --- it's good to know he EATS when he's hungry!}

After the eating commmenced we wrangled the kids while the Daddy's "HID" the eggs --- YES, I'm good at embarassing myself & ended up telling all the Dad's, "It is time for all the Dad's to hide their wives eggs!" OOOOooops --- yes I got mocked, but at least everyone who understood had a good laugh!!! :)

{I can't believe I just wrote that --- }

The it was off & running for the "HUNT"

1st & only thing this kid cared about was the BALL!

The ball was one of the 1st things on her mind too!

I think it took this one about 10 seconds to find all 12 eggs to fill carton ---

Then he found his beloved ball!

Then he eagerly helped his lil broth-a out!

EVENTUALLY we found all 36 egss & 3 balls ---

SUCCESS!!!

Dumping the Candy---

Playing a little ---

A family pic ---

& some more play ----

---- made for a perfect HUNT!

Thanks for all the fun G&G Fergy!!!

Jazz Game ...

Emma didn't get a very long spring break this year, compared to everyone else. We are on year-round school, so while everyone else got 1 full week we got a mere 2 days. :( It was a little crumby, but we tried to do fun things anyways!!!

It just so happened that Alan's Dad offered us tickets to the Jazz game onFriday night --- SCORE!!!!

We decided that since we had just been to a game Alan & I with some friends, we'd make this game for our kids & take them ALL!

It was Kye's 1st game ---

After the 1st 2 quarters I thought it may be Kye's LAST game too, but once we got popcorn & a drink during 1/2 time he was totally fine the rest of the game!

The other 2 kids are PRO's at the Jazz Game routine!

{popcorn}

{drink}

It was fun to have them all there with us & they did really well!

We made it all the way to the end to watch the CLOSE finish to the game & THE JAZZ WON!!!

Emma enjoyed Dancing,

& so did I!!!

{but no picture of me dancing cause I don't look cute like a 5-year old does!}

As you may have noticed in some of our pictures we were lucky enough to be able to invite Dave & Michelle. {The Barton's, Alan sister & her family, were on the same row with us, but LAME-O me didn't get pics of them ---BUMMER!}

It was also fun to see Grandpa Fergy at the game too!!!

{don't ask me WHY??? their hands are up??!!?? Who knows it was L-A-T-E & they were having FUN!!!
