This past weekend Dave's parents invited Derek to sleep over on Friday night. Of course we snatched up that offer!! While Dave & I drove up to Morgan - had dinner & went to a movie, Derek was having the time of his life!
Derek & Papa have a special bond. Jim likes to tell stories with Derek. They almost always involve a character named "Buster Crab" along with "Sarah Crab", and ever since Derek saw 102 Dalmations, they also include "Cruh-ella The Veal" (aka Cruella Devil). They had a wonderful time reading & telling lots of stories. Then on Saturday morning they headed off to the pet store to try and find a hermit crab for Derek to take home as a pet (which of course would be named Buster). But - they didn't have luck, so Derek decided he wanted a white rat instead. THANKFULLY Jim told him no :) (Sigh!). Anyway, They had a wonderful adventure running into different stores & getting lunch together. THanks to JIm & Linda for being so involved!!
While Derek was off w/ Dave's folks we went down to the Gateway downtown to watch my friends Amber & Stacie finish the Salt Lake half marathon. While wandering around, we bumped into Hailey who was down there also w/ her dad. She ended up running the kids race. As she put it "we were only running for like 2 minutes". True - it was the fastest race I've ever seen! Really - 2 minutes & it was done. Anyway - it was fun to bump into her!! Here she is w/ her dad's girlfriend's kids - Hailey, Elijah & Allison
Here are the big finishers (Don't they look AMAZING after running 13.1??)
Easter after church we attempted to snap some pictures of the fam :)
Here's Jenna workin' it out on the 4 note piano!!
The whole bunch... it was a bit breezy! Do you like how Derek is sticking his belly out?
Saturday before Easter we met up w/ the Whitings & Fosters to put on our own easter egg hunt at the park. The kids had fun but it was SOO cold & windy! Derek insisted on wearing his chick costume that he wore when he was 18 months old. Don't ask me how on earth he squeezed in -- it was shear determination!
Dying easter eggs! Hailey looking very thoughtful & Derek showing off his new trick - a wink!
Our easter animals - the chick & the bunny!

I think you need to have a talk with Derek about where his hands should be during pictures. His hand is down his pants in the picture with Jim. Also I love the colors dave picked for his toes. They looked so pretty that I thought it was your feet then I counted the toes. I am amazed that he let someone paint his toes. Ben doesn't even like me to paint my nails when he's home.
CUTE Easter pictures! I went ahead and added you on my blog list- I hope that is ok! I'm not really sure how all this stuff is supposed to work yet! :)
How random that you ran into Hailey at the race!!!! Amber and stacie look awesome!
Easter Egg hunt- Freezing!
