• Last Sunday was Grandpa Bassett's birthday! Todd really enjoys grilling out so for his dad's birthday he took over some ribs to cook for him. They were yummy! Todd is getting really good at grilling ribs.

• Here are the kids with Grandma and Grandpa Bassett. Brynn was in charge of putting the candles in the pie and if you notice they are ALL over the pie. 

• Addy had to get two teeth pulled this week because there is crowding in her mouth already. It was a little painful for her for a few hours but on the upside she got to put two teeth under her pillow for the tooth fairy that night. She also got sung to twice by her kindergarten class the next day. The song goes...

Look in Addy's mouth and what do you see?

A great big hole where her tooth use to be

But she wiggled it and giggled it 

Until it fell out.

Now there's a great big window in her mouth!

• Early Saturday morning we took to the kids to an Easter Egg Hunt at the local park. We got there just in time and all the kids were able to pick up a few eggs filled with candy. It took Bodee a few minutes to realize what was going on but once he found a little bag of mini marshmallows he didn't care about anything else.

• After the egg hunt we took the kids to One Man Band for a quick breakfast. 

• Saturday was a beautiful day! We listened to a few conference talks but since we don't have cable and the the internet wasn't streaming it very well I ended up taking the kids to the new cool park for about four hours while Todd went up to Salt Lake to help his uncle move. I didn't realize it was that warm out and we all got a little red-cheeked from the sun. 
• Brynn was also very excited because she climbed to the very top the huge climbing tower I showed a few weeks ago. Go Brynn! 

• Saturday night the kids were so excited to have their cousin Grant over while his dad went to the priesthood session of conference. Here they are all snuggled up together watching Kung Fu Panda. 

• Todd has a reclining chair that he often sits in and through the last few years it has been given various names such as "The Snuggle Chair" and more recently "The Macker Dad Chair" because as Todd calls himself the "Macker Dad". (Whatever?) So it's always cute little family stuff until Brynn tells her preschool friend that he can't sit in the chair because it's the "Macker Dad Chair". I could tell her little friend what like "what are you talking about?" It just make me laugh because she was so serious.
