The Most Exhausting Easter Ever

Easter has always been one of my favorite holidays.  This one will be particularly memorable.  Our holiday festivities started on friday with egg dying.

It was cute and fun but went surprisingly quick.  The whole activity only lasted about ten minutes.  But they had fun and that's the point, right?

Our next fun event was a wild party, and this is really sad but I can't remember if this party was on friday night or saturday night.  It seems like this happened a long time ago.   Here are some pictures.
This is the mellow part.

My favorite part was when Dan sang "Mr. Roboto". 


On Easter Sunday, the kids woke up really excited.  The Easter Bunny hid the baskets and the kids had to find them.

And then there were more eggs to find outside.

After the egg hunt we went in and had breakfast.  Kelsey was breathing a little hard so I gave her a breathing treatment and thought she would be fine.
So in between General Conference sessions we had friends come over for a barbeque and picnic.
This is the point where we realized Kelsey was not well.  She had several friends over and she didn't want to play.  She went into our bedroom and layed down on the bed while her friends played in her room without her.
Kelsey was still struggling with breathing so we did a couple more breathing treatments but they were not working.  After everyone left we decided to take Kelsey to the insta-care.  After spending five hours there we ended up here-in the hospital.
She had pnemonia and it was making it so she wasn't getting enough oxygen.  Big long story that I don't want to type, Kelsey is now labled as "asthmatic" and our hospital stay lasted five days.  It was a party.  She is home now and all is well again.

Poor Kelsey. She has had a few too many hospital stays in her young life. I hope this is all of them. I hope you have lots of people to help you guys. Good luck, we are thinking of and praying for you guys.

Poor Kelsey! I hope she is feeling better and that you are doing okay-I know being pregnant and dealing with emotional/physical stress can be tough, but you are one tough lady! Much love!

Poor girl. As much as I love spring i've decided its the hardest season for moms because kids are constantly sick. I hope she is back to herself and all is well.
