This was a busy weekend at the Jones house! On Good Friday, the men worked all day to set up Payton and Kellen's new playset and it was a lot of work. Kendra, mom and I spent most of the day playing with the boys and keeping them busy and out of the way of construction, by playing at the McDonald's playland and dying Easter Eggs. Set up ended up going through to Saturday morning, but they were able to finish it in time for the kids to play on it at Payton's Birthday party. 
Kendra and I even did quite a bit!
Gregg, Dad and Gavin did most of the work and Keaton did a little project management
We did eggs for the babies too...By Thanksgiving we will have twice as many kids at our family holidays :)
Kellen writing his name on his egg...he only broke two while dying which I thought was pretty good.
Payton loved dying eggs and mixing colors.Saturday was Payton's 3rd Birthday! I still can't believe it was three years ago that we brought him home from the hospital. It has gone so fast! We had lots of good friends over for a party that included an egg hunt, mini ice cream worm and dirt cakes, and a lot of sunshine which allowed the kids to run around try out the new playset which Gregg, my dad, Gavin and some friends completed during the first half hour of the party. It didn't seem to bother the kids who were playing on it while the men were still working :)
He was so excited about every card and present.

The boys jamming together. We need to restring Payton's guitar because he is a lefty.

The playset was a big hit! Our house will definitely be the cool place to hang out this summer.
Sunday was Easter, so we woke up and did an Easter hunt with the boys, which included Payton and Kellen searching the house for 10 items: Two Carrot baseball bats, two new movies, two boxes of animal cookies, two color wonder boards and two baskets full of bubbles, sidewalk chalk and a few pieces of candy. Payton was such a good big brother letting Kellen find some of the stuff and giving him hints when he saw them. After the hunt we headed to the church for Easter Breakfast and Service. Then home for naps before we headed to mom and dad's for a barbeque.
The weather here had been awful up until this weekend but this weekend we had clear sunny skies and warm weather. It was so perfect!
The family - this was actually one of the last pictures we took and Payton was over it :)
