Easter Weekend Recap

Our holiday weekend started on Friday with a trip to our local Children's Museum, with Uncle Bill, Aunt Laura, Connor, and Mawna. 

This is the one time all three of the kids were doing the same thing ;)






Love this one of Aunt Laura and Chloe ~ they were working on a computer board & puzzle activity....Laura is the only person I've ever seen that actually knows how to work it! :)


Saturday morning we headed to my parents for their Annual Easter Egg Hunt.  Here are all the kiddos, ready to hunt for some eggs!


This is the face April made when she was told her eggs were orange.  Each child gets a specific color to find, making it fair.....April, I guess, was expecting her eggs to be pink.  There were no pink eggs, and she did collect her orange ones! :)

She also made friends with Clara on the porch step after the hunting was over! :)


Now what is this child doing? Not listening to her mother?


Actually, she's ready for Uncle Bill's science experiment:  an exploding egg!



Here are the girls (we took this after Clara and her parents left, we'll have to remember to do it before they leave next year!):


and....the very silly boys....


We stayed at my parents in the afternoon....visiting and resting, while Bill and Kevin picked up and installed our new oven (ours broke the Sunday before!)....



Later, we opened Easter gifts from Mawna and Pap.....

New crocs! :)


And, making this one of the longest days in history, we packed everyone up and headed to our mall to ride the train!!  Our children are still sporting their new crocs, which is possibly the clearest thing in this next picture :)  They were all so excited to ride!


Sunday morning was a mad dash to get ready and be at church on time.  I might have the girls dress up again soon for nicer pictures.....this one is a little deer-in-the-headlights & ruffled-collar-not-looking to be the only one of the two of them! :)


but, this one, taken before lunch at my grandma's, is a winner for sure!  These three kids love their Mawna!


And, because this doesn't happen everyday....Laura and I got our picture taken together with our week-apart pregnant bellies!  Next time we'll see each other, our babies will be meeting each other!

Camping Trips #2 and #3

At the beginning of August, we went on a camping trip with my immediate family. We had great campsites, right next to each other, and had fabulous weather. Chloe had a great time hanging out with her Aunt Laura, Uncle Bill, and Aunt Michelle: She also loved my dad's cell phone ringtone: Who says you can't eat great food while you're camping? Check out our dinner feast on Saturday night....Corn on the cob, cheeseburgers, grilled pineapple: Chloe had her first taste of the "beach" when we went to the lake one day. It was the first time she was in the sand, and I think she really liked it! When looking back at the camping pictures, I realized that Chloe wore a lot of hats on this trip: We got back from a Cousins Camping Trip on Sunday night. (Almost) All my cousins got together for the weekend and we had a great time. Another camping trip with good campsites and this time we just had okay weather. It rained Saturday night so everything was a bit soggy on Sunday ...

I hope he's not moving in....
