Our weekend started with Friday morning
. I walked out of the kitchen for a second and Talon went to the frig to get out the milk. I heard a crashing of glass and Talon crying out. There was a heavy glass container next to it and he accidentally knocked it over and it landed on his second toe which is longer than his first. It made his toe swollen and purple. Unfortunately, it was the day of the 4th and 5th grade track meet which Talon had been practicing for diligently and was very excited about. We were so sad and disappointed that he wouldn't be able to compete that he just stayed home. They weren't doing anything else that day anyway.

Then at 1:30, we went over to Candy and Nate's house for our cousin Easter egg hunt in their backyard. (Last fall they put sod in.) When that was over, we all came over to our house for a BBQ and a combined birthday party for Jileigh and Reesor, Ben's son. (In the picture, Jaren wasn't suppose to be helping blow out the candles.) Grandma H. brought a lemon meringue pie. She gave Jileigh a beautiful dress and sandals. As pretty as this dress is, Jileigh didn't feel comfortable with it being above her knees. Grandma H. got it for her when she was in Mesa this past week, so it wasn't like she could take it back. So my brain started clicking. I went to Walmart and bought some similar light weight sheer white fabric. I came home and called my friend Shari at 8:30pm and asked her to help me make this dress work for Jileigh. In 1 hour, she had added a couple of lightly ruffled layers on the bottom of the dress to make it look like is was made to be there. Now it covers her knees and she loves it and she feels much more comfortable in it. She also wore a white tee-shirt underneath the top so she could have the option of taking of the jacket. She just likes to feel modest.
Ok, so every year we say that we are going to have their Easter baskets ready Saturday morning , but it never happens. So Sunday morning they got to play hide-and-go-seek for their baskets. (Beau was still asleep.)
After church, while dinner was still cooking, the kids finally got to dye eggs while Beauchene took his nap. They made quite the mess but had fun doing it.

I am so glad you were able to make the dress work. I think I just keep forgeting how tall Jileigh is! The dress looked plenty long to me and to Grandma J. It is such a pretty dress and I am so glad she is going to be able to wear it.
