Holden for a Weekend

This last weekend we were finally able to make it to Holden. We haven't been since New Years- so we were way past due for a visit. Dawson was in his glory with all the cousins.

On Saturday we headed over to Monroe to watch Parker play a soccer game- which he won and played amazing! Dawson cheered so loud for him. However, twice Parker kicked the ball really hard, it went out of bounds, over our heads, and just about his Dawson and Taylee. BOTH TIMES! Parker's face was priceless as he watched that ball almost hit his niece and nephew. I just said subconsciously he was just trying to play with them.


We took a couple family photos- which are amazing because Stevens' are just good looking people. We took 2 so we could get one with Loni, and Daniel because we needed someone to take the picture.


We had BBQ'd hamburgers on Saturday night after the game. We also got to see Lucas and Molly's new porch and chickens! J.D. was able to put on his new air suspension for the truck and Dawson played and played and played and played until he finally fell asleep.

We watched conference the next day- which was so inspiring. We really love conference and it always lifts our spirits. Uncle Daniel and Aunt Loni bought eggs and dye so we could color easter eggs! These are Dawson's! He's all about pairs these days, except the odd yellow one...we paired it with the light purple and said they are light eggs. lol!

Here's awesome Aunt Loni and Taylee! I love how Taylee is just looking at Loni thinking, "What is she doing....??"

AND our sweet Dawson coloring the eggs! He had me draw dinosaurs on them and he did the rest! He did such a good job and didn't crack one egg!

Well.... that night after egg coloring, the kids were playing and Dawson got hurt.... The next post we will reveal what happened, but let's just say our adventures of real boyhood have begun.
We went to Walmart before going home and Dawson picked out the cutest Easter Egg basket. After Easter, I will post a pic of it then, but out of all the baskets I am really suprised and flattered that he has such good taste! He gets that from his dad! :-)
