The Hunt!

This year I was able to have my annual Easter Egg Hunt in Vegas with two of the grandkids, I was sad that the other 3 are so far away and could not participate, but hopefully someday they will be around to enjoy one. Luke, Logan and Timmy all helped me prepare for it and we invited Bryan and his family and Karl's family was out of town. Timmy decided this year that he was too old to participate and Logan felt guilty for having helped hide the eggs so he got the least amount of eggs. Brent's 2 boys proved to be Nelson's and non competitive like their father at that age, but I am sure they will learn soon enough. I think all had a good time and everyone was happy with their takings, this year there wasn't a tear in the crowd!

For those of you who do not know the history of my Egg Hunt, it all started back in 1985 when we lived in a ward in California that had an annual Egg Hunt for the primary kids, I took Brent and Kerstin and much to their disappointment one of them found one egg and the other got none, of course this was a appointment to a 3 year old and a 2 year old, so I decided that year that I would have an Egg Hunt of my own and that the way to cure the problem was to have enough eggs that the aggressive kids would not be able to pick all the eggs up before the less aggressive kids at least could pick up a nice amount, I did this by hiding no less then 2 dozen eggs per participant. To keep the cost down from year to year and to keep the candy edible, I would put nothing in the plastic eggs and to get the prize (money, candy or toy) the eggs would be turned in, thus I would have the eggs for next year and the house would not be litter with plastic eggs.

What happens in Vegas stays in Vegas!



Yes I am in Vegas and yes these mighty fine boys happened here too! Arrived this morning at 7am Vegas time and am having a blast hanging out with the boys (mostly Timmy right now, cuz Sean hasn't left for the beach yet and the other two are hanging out with him), got to go shopping with Shayla and the boys, (boy is Brighton just like his dad was at that age) and tomorrow we will have an update as we try and pull off one of my good old Easter Egg hunts?

Okay so with all the time I have a work with nothing really to do I get a bit bored at times, so my latest venture has been using the tools on my phone to change my pictures, I was going to do what my son and daughter do at times with their blog and have a survey to see which effect you like the best but I don't know how to do that. You may be wondering about the pictures, well I tried out some new makeup on Sunday and Darin took some pictures to see if you could tell the different and if it was well liked can you tell which pictures have the new makeup and which have the old?
