What an eventful week!!

Last week was a very eventful week. On Monday night we had a fun Family Home Evening with Stan’s family at his sister Donna’s house. 2 of Stan’s brothers and 1 sister came in from out of town for the week. It was SO great to see them all. 9 out of the 10 kids and their families were in town (we missed you Doug and Pam!). Here are some pictures of Monday night.

Parker taking a ride

Our nephew Jeff announced his engagement to Shannon. We’re so happy!

Uncle Russell told Parker he would give him $20 if he won him at chess. Maybe next time Parker.

Disney On Ice

On Friday morning, Grandma & Grandpa Roberts (Stan’s parents) chartered a bus to take the whole Roberts family to Disney on Ice. It was a great show. The kids loved it!

Dallin watched out the window the whole time. He was amazed that we were taller than all the cars that we passed.

Waiting for the show to begin.

Most of the pictures we took didn’t turn out because they were action shots, but here are a couple.

Back on the bus after the show

After the show we went back to Grandma & Grandpa Roberts’ house for lunch

The Easter Bunny

In our family the Easter Bunny comes on the Saturday before Easter.

The Phelps Easter Party

Later in the day on Saturday, we went to Grammy and Papa’s (my parents) house for the annual Phelps Easter party.

Coloring eggs is a favorite!

I just had to include this picture of my nephew Ethan. Isn’t he the cutest?

Parker & Riley (nephew)

It’s time to get ready for the Egg Hunt

The grandkids wait downstairs while the adults hide the eggs.

And the hunt is on!! Grammy and Papa’s house is the perfect place for an egg hunt!

Faster Parker, Faster!!

My sister Cindy took this picture of Cassie and Amber. Great action shot! Find those eggs girls!!

Roberts Reunion

Well, the fun didn’t stop there. We had to leave the Phelps party early to make it to the Roberts Reunion. Every April Stan’s Dad and his siblings and all of their posterity get together for an evening reunion.

Stan’s sister Brenda made balloons for all the kids

Stan’s brother Russell played the violin for the talent show

Sharla, Brenda, Spencer and Dan (Stan’s siblings) sung a very “cool” song for the talent show.

Easter Sunday

Whew!! What a week! It was so great spending time with family. Especially with those who live out of state. Now it’s time to switch gears and turn our thoughts to the reason why we celebrate Easter-our Savior Jesus Christ. Easter was a beautiful relaxing day. After church we spent time with our kids watching videos and reading stories about Jesus Christ. Parker decided that he wanted to do a little musical presentation on Christ. He found pictures to go along with the song “His Hands”. He held up the pictures as the song played in the background. We thought it was great!

We had Easter Dinner at home with just our own little family. During the dinner Dallin said, “Mom, I have something very special to give you.” When I asked him what it was, he got up from his chair and gave me a big hug!

And there you have it…the Roberts’ eventful week!!
