Happy Easter!!!
A few days before Easter we love to color eggs. We aren't the most artistic painters but we love to do it. We love to get paint all over and make a big mess. We painted so many eggs that we couldn't eat them all. I was eating eggs for weeks. But it sure was fun!


In art class Madison painted this bunny picture with acrylic paints. She did a great job. She decided to give it to Grandma for Easter.

Here's everyone before church on Easter. It's not the nicest layout but we were on our way out the door when I remembered to take a picture. This year Madison picked out her Easter dress. We went shopping together and she turned her nose at all the frilly dresses I picked out. She's starting to develop her own style. It's fun to watch her grow up into a young lady.

Easter Sunday was such a beautiful day. The skies we so blue. We had a great morning at church with Chad and his family. Afterwards, we went to Chino Hills to be with Scott's family for a yummy Easter brunch. Then we headed up the hill to Apple Valley to have an Easter dinner with my family. Wade and his family we in town too. It was so wonderful to spend the day with our family. We are so blessed to have both families so close by. We are so blessed for those friendships.

ALOHA!!

Aloha from the Silvers.....

We were real fortunate to take a family vacation to Hawaii. This was the first time we had to actually pay for ALL of the airplane tickets. That's what happens when the kids get older- but it was worth every penny! This picture is of our family at the top of a hike up Hauula Loop. It was a three mile hike and it took us 3 hours to hike it. Scott had to carry Landon the entire three hours! But it was so beautiful at the top.

This is Scott and Caleb chillin on the beach. They even have a Hawaiian umbrella for some shade. It was great weather and very relaxing.

Madison is jumping off the reef at our favorite secret beach. We are usually the only one on the beach and it has this perfect reef that makes a swimming pool. The kids love to jump off the rocks and fish for little fish.

Landon is so cute in this picture. I took sooo many pictures this vacation that posing became second nature for the kids.

Ethan was real excited to find a coconut in Hawaii. The first one I found him tasted like soap when we cracked it open. It was nasty! So Grandpa found a coconut at the neighbors. The boys were so excited to eat it. But the true taste of a coconut was a lot different than they expected. But they loved the coconut milk. That's part of the fun of Hawaii- tasting new things like coconut, guava, octopus, and poi.

On the North Shore there is a beach where Green Turtles like to hang out. We stopped and took a few pictures with them. It was so amazing to see these animals up close.
