Ahhhh....Spring!



I couldn't resist posting this one of Sam and his big grin (from March). These were some books he got for his birthday. Thanks Uncle Roj and Aunt Reena!

At GG and Gampy's for Easter; so excited no one could sit still! 
We had a yummy lunch on the grill and enjoyed a fire and great company (and a little bit of candy:).

We made a treasure hunt for the kids at Grandpa Jer and Grandma Lo's house. 
The kids did great finding their eggs, and got to choose some prizes from a treasure basket in the end.

Puzzles, stickers and candy, oh my!

Someone else picked these, but Leila didn't want to give them up. Stylin girl!

Lou loves anything she can accessorize with. These flip flops with pink bows were a huge hit.

Lickin the plate clean.

Can I have more please?!

Gretta spent a night in the hospital getting fluids after a bad case of the flu. 
The nurses were so nice, and Gretta even got to bring home that green pillow another child made.

A Movie-watching crew captivated by Madagascar (at least four out of five).

A bit out of order...Here are the boys at an easter egg hunt we went to which happened to have a fire truck parked in the lot. Smile :)

Gretta gave this to me just after I was wondering if the kids were retaining anything 
 I had been teaching them on the piano. The Lord's timing is perfect!

Here is Amy modeling Great Grandma's wedding dress (that Grandma made for her own wedding!) at a fund raising event earlier this month. So pretty!

Dancing the day away.

An evening at a fundraising event for an area Christian School proved to be probably one of our top five most unique dates, not to mention it was held at a former Packer player's home :)

Tri County Gym offers open gym where the kids can run around, jump on trampolines and try out the uneven bars. Afterwards, we're all tired out and enjoying lunch with friends! The boys look pretty out numbered here.

And finally...a family bike ride to the park with four littles, three water bottles, two burlees, and one very sad girl who wants to get off of the teeter-totter.
