Hatching this Spring!

The first thing to "hatch" this spring, our new little nephew Jarom.  He came in spring, yet in the middle of a crazy snow storm, and is oh so cute!  He is the first of a few to come!

Colby so excited!

We went to Kyle and Sheena's that night for our 2nd annual Easter Egg Dye to kick off the Easter season.

Colby spent the whole time on 1 egg hehe

The next day we had our Radmall Easter dinner.  Grandpa is always so great to decorate just like Grandma did, and make sure the traditional dinner is made: Ham & funeral potatoes with all the yummy sides.  One of which I inherited... Jell-O Beans, my fav!  I have to give props to Kris, I only make one jar while she made 2, it's quite time consuming even with Colby's help, and takes up the whole fridge!

A terrible shot, but oh so yummy

Then to add a little festive touch to the house, I used an idea I had been itching to try out for weeks I found on Martha Stewart.com. 

Sparkly eggs!  Love them, and I mixed it up so they last forever...plastic

Easter weekend I took off work Saturday & Sunday to watch a little general conference & spend some time with Colb's.  We planned to make the rounds to our grandparents to wish them a Happy Easter.

Love the morning hair

We spent Saturday morning making bird nest rice krispie treats, just like my mom used to for us as kids.  I loved finding one of these in my CPK lunchbox. You know I was the envy of the lunch room when I pulled one of these out, even with a hand-me-down, yellow, 80's, CPK lunchbox:).  (That's lingo for Cabbage Patch Kids for those of you who didn't grow up in, or have older siblings that grew up in the 80's).  I don't know how I did it, but these were NOT the best rice krispie's in the world.  Seriously, how do you mess up Rice Krispie Treats?!  Oh well, at least we have nice grandparents that would never tell you they tasted terrible.

We then made our rounds

Grandpa Radmall.  Just had his knee scoped, but getting around like a champ,

Grandpa Sherman,

Grandma Hassell,

and then Grandma Berg and Grandma Sherman on Easter, but once again, Grandma Sherman was a little camera shy,  We got to watch conference with G-ma Berg, and as always, a delight to be with

Easter morning, Colby woke up and made an awesome breakfast

Yep, my husband made that.  Dyed Easter egg wheat pancakes!

while he was cooking I read several Easter stories out of the Ensign.  I was later teased by Colby that he got to sit through 6 sessions of conference due to all my reading

We both surprised each other with egg hunts, and come to find out, had the same idea for our main present...yellow shirts, ha, as you can see in the picture with Grandma Berg.  Although he went a step further and bought me an Easter skirt to go with it!

Our combined loot. 

It was fun combining our traditions together, and celebrating our first Easter!  After dinner with my fam & game night with his parents I'd say we had a pretty busy, and fun filled holiday.  Fitting, considering Easter was the first time we met, & the weekend we got engaged.

Next to "hatch" was my new little niece.  She was born tonight; we can't wait to see her!  And we look forward to Jenn's baby in June!

We are excited for spring to finally be here! I think mother nature may finally be cooperating and just might let us have a few days of sun this week, cross your fingers!
Next on our list to do, GRADUATE!  That's right, April 23rd!  Here I come!
