Easter Picnic Suprise

In addition to lots of eggs the Easter bunny Had a treasure hunt and this picnic table was the prize. So we got to eat our Easter candy on our new picnic table.

And The Hunt is On...

Dyeing Easter Eggs... With the Neighbor Kids...

Ryan rounded up all his friends for an Easter egg dye They each got to pick a color and die two eggs. They played in the back yard while the eggs soaked in the die. Then took them out and let them dry for a minute then took thier eggs to the front yard to eat them. They all had a great time. Not one cup of dye was spilled and I wasn't left wondering what to do with a fridge full of brightly colored boiled eggs.

Easter Crafts

A few days before Easter we made little Chick hats and made some little chicks out of cotton balls the had a fun time playig with thier hats

Easter Family picture

This is our attempt of taking our own family Easter picture. Please note the Daddy's off center tie and Dalton's green squirt gun and he just wouldn't let go of.

St. Patricks Day

For St. Patricks Day we went over to Stephany's (our neighbor) House and the kids had green pancakes and then got to hunt for gold coin all over her front lawn. Ryan liked it so much that he came home later and asked if he could look in our back yard to see in the St. Patricks day Leprechaun's left in back there for him to find.

Community Easter Egg hunt

Saturday evening we went to a community easter egg hunt and saw the Easter bunny and gathered a few Eggs. It was really crowded so we didn't stay long after the egg hunt.

A PRAYER FOR MY OUCHY.

Ryan was playing swords with a friend the other day and his friend swung the sword as Ryan was running up to the top of the stair and the sword hit him hard enough to cause a small gash in his head that started bleeding. Ryan started freaking out when he realized he was bleeding and came rushing to mom for a band aid to stop the bleeding. I put a wet wash cloth on his head and was holding it there to stop the bleeding and clean up his hair enough that I could see where he was bleeding from. Ryan all of the sudden yell QUIET I'M TRYING TO SAY A PRAYER FOR MY OUCHY.

Cute little Sage

Sage likes to spend her time playing with stuffed animals and wrapping them in blankets this morning she got mad at Ryan because he tried to wrap up in the blanket that she had her puppy wrapped up in. She likes to tell stories about big huge ants and at the end of some of her stories she will do this fake little laugh and then continue on as fast as she can talk.

Silly Dalton

Dalton likes to hang out with mom and brush his teeth while mom does her hair. That and switch the lights on and off while she is putting her make up on

Ryan hang'n' with his Dad

Ryan love to do things with his Dad, even watching him play computer games for hours.

Oh The Work of Potty Training

We were looking for Sage to come to dinner and this is how we found her sound asleep with all her babies. We have also been potty training her and she does really well in the mornings but she usually has more accidents in late afternoon when mom is busy getting dinner ready.

Park Days

The Whether is getting warm and so we have
been hitting the parks. Dalton is big enough this
