Easter Weekend

Easter Weekend was so much fun!!  Uncle Tom and Aunt Chelle came! Yippee!  Peter was excited :) 



Saturday was the Annual Egg Hunt at my parent's house.  Here I am with Brooke and Peter! :) Brooke is ADORABLE.  I just couldn't get enough of her sweetness.  Just a peach.  Love my Peter-boy too, don't worry :)


April found an egg!


Some-bunny else found an egg too :)


After the Hunt and lunch, the kiddos got gifts from Chelle and Tom.  This picture is funny to me because of the faces Chloe and April are making.  Fitting for their personalities!

What was in the bag? Kites!! It was a PERFECT day for kite flying.


After a fun afternoon, and naps for the babies, we headed out for dinner.  Chloe loved this girl too :)

I mean, my goodness.  Are you understanding why I love her so much?


Now, by next year, Chloe might be "too cool" to do the train.  Which makes me sad. But, I'll laugh at these photos for years to come - when she's too cool and too big to ride.  Hilarious and worth every penny we paid (and we paid a lot of pennies).






If we cropped out Connor and Peter, this would be a cute shot of the girls.....

But, most of them look like this....ha! This is harder than it looks!


Sunday, after church was nice enough for pictures outside.  Easter bonnets are fun to have!




During these group photos, Peter and Brooke were partnering up....

Let's look at one camera, while everyone is looking at another:

Should we cry and try to crawl off the couch next? Yes?

About to start their plan (check out those older siblings, keeping them on the couch!)


What a blessing to have family in town to celebrate a Risen Lord.  Worshiping on Sunday with the Hoffmans and knowing our kiddos were learning about what Jesus has done for us while in children's church was a special time for me this weekend.  I don't laugh as hard with anyone else other than these people! Good times, and I'm thankful!

Wedding!

Congratulations to the new Mr. and Mrs. Martin! :) We attended Natalie and Dallas' wedding on Saturday and had a lovely time. We know both the bride and groom from college....and just happen to be great friends with the bride's parents as well (Hi Bill and Doreen!). Here is the new couple - Natalie looked beautiful, and Dallas looked pretty good too ;) Here I am with the bride - check out her BLUE shoes! No wedding is complete without a little dancing and singing....particularly to Livin on a Prayer....Steve, Jeff, and Kevin sang at the top of their lungs and performed an air guitar solo: even the bride joined in: We had a great time! I'm thinking of the honeymooners.....kind of wishing I was on a tropical island somewhere too! :)

Baby Pool

Want to guess when Baby #2 is going to arrive? Post a comment, or send me an email, with your guess and I'll add you in! As a review, here are the rules to the game (taken from Heather Deterding!): 1. Post your guess for the baby's arrival in the "comment" section. Be sure to specify both date and time of day -- either "am" or "pm". 2. Limit one guess per person, and only one entry per time slot-- no sharing! 3. Winner is determined based on time of birth. For example, if the baby is born on April 20th at 7 AM, a guess of "April 20th, AM" would be the winner. In the event that there is no entry for the correct arrival time, the next closest guess based on actual time of birth would win. 4. We will post entries on the Calendar above. Check prior entries before placing your guess! Dates not displayed on the calendar above are still up for grabs. 5. The winner will receive... bragging rights and a congratulatory post h
