We've had a super fun long Easter weekend here at our house. The White cousins (Tim's older brother David's family) came to visit from Las Vegas. It was a houseful of Whites! So fun catching up with Dave & Jonna and their family. We even let Eric and Rach miss a few days of school (it will give the other kids a chance to catch up I said :)). Here are a few highlights:
Hiking and playing in the water at Catalina State park.

One night we put all of the plastic Easter eggs in the pool and had a competition to see which team could gather the most. There actually was A LOT of swimming with the White cousins, who, we found out, are great swimmers! Jenna and Lizzy are in the middle of their ISR swim lessons, and the cousins got to watch one day. Here is a picture with Aunt Jonna & Lizzy. Lizzy, you will see, is sporting the most adorable swimsuit of the season. It came with this cutest swim hat which was an absolute bonus. It completes the synchronized swim look. She totally hams it up for pictures. 
We had this fun bonfire the last night they were here and sang camp songs and roasted marshmallows. You'll note the dead grass which is driving me CRAZY. We are actually having fake grass installed this week. I've finally decided that we aren't meant to have grass here in the desert. Well, good looking grass that doesn't cost a fortune anyway.
These two crazy cousins didn't quite know what to think of each other. Lizzy and little Landon are about a month apart in age.
The day before everyone came we had a birthday girl. Little Rach (who is just growing up WAY too fast) turned 7. Happy birthday Rach!
Last but not least, here is a picture of Easter baskets this morning. Super fun and only half of the kids ended up with tummy aches. Next year perhaps we will monitor consumption a little more closely!
