Hippity.. Hoppity

 

Yes this boy belongs to me..isn't he cute :)

We had a great Easter weekend..

I got some yard work done, grocery shopping, Easter shopping, 

kids played with friends and we hung out with both sides of the family

{some were missing due to living in other states..luv ya guys}

On Saturday I had my side of the family over for a egg hunt and dinner

I am so glad it stopped raining long enough for us  {well bailey and cameron}

to hide the eggs and get our hunt on. On my side of the family/ also known as the Anderson

clan/ we mostly have little kids..so they love egg hunts.

With a lot of people in my house it was still relaxing..the kids watched a movie..Adults visited..we ate..

I love spending time with family....

My brother Jacob has 6 kids and his wife {my awesome sister in law} is pregnant and due in July

and will be adding a girl to their 4 boys and 2 girls already.

a week and a half ago I received a phone call from Jacob telling me that he was at Primary childrens hospital

with my nephew William {he's 5} and that the doctors have diagnosed him with Leukemia. I was in shock..

My heart just broke to think of what a 5 year old has to go through chemo..medicine..spine taps etc.

I remember it all too well when my mom went through chemo and I don't think anyone should have to go through that especially a 5 year old!

His doctors are very confident that it is treatable {3 year treatment plan with chemo} 

and that he should be in remission after.

I feel like my family is closer but I know this will just get us closer!

I was so glad that Jacob and his family was able to come on Easter.

{William was released from the hospital after 6 days there on Wednesday}

You just have to hold your kids a little tighter and tell them you love them because

you never know what a new day will bring!

I am thankful for ALL of my family!!

 My niece Dylann found the Golden Easter Egg

She was so excited {I think Bailey gave her a clue where it was :)}

 I LOVE filling Easter baskets!

Bailey helped me color eggs.
