Eggs, cake, and dancing

Hello again! What a beautiful Easter it was this year. We went down to Boise and stay with friends(the Moore Family) on Saturday night, and then went to church and met up with my family. The girls were in matching dresses with flowers in their hair and the boys had matching shirts. When we got back from church we told the kids the Easter Bunny had set up an Easter Egg hunt for them...Brielle wasn't fully aware of what was going on until she saw some pink eggs "hidden" just for her. They all had a blast! As usual it wasn't enough time with Grandma and Papa...we always want more, but we enjoyed ourselves!

The next couple pictures are of the kids playing. I like catching them when they don't know I'm watch...it always ends up sweeter.

Christian turned 6 this month so we had a sports themed party for him. We invited 12 friends, but 4 showed up. He was a little dissapoint, but still had a blast.

Brielle and I had a girls day yesterday. We went and watched our friend's daughter dance in a competion. Brielle loved every minute! She sat through a lot of preformances. Afterward I took her to luhcn and she was so happy to have me all to herself she could barely contain it.

Gabby and her team did so well! Great job Gabby Girl!!

Welcome to the family Luke and Yoda!

This last weekend we got to calves. They are very young and have to be bottle fed. I wasn't able to get great pictures because my camera batteries died and we can't find the charger...bad combo! Anyway I got these taken with my cell phone. The kids are really loving farm life and Brielle is getting very attached to the "moos" aka cows.

I had to post this one because Brielle is taking her babies everywhere! She took over the sock basket and made it in to a boat or car...we haven't figured out all her language yet!

Funny faces and busy places.

We have been on the go! What's new?! :) I've been snapping pictures of the kids in hopes that someday I would be able to get them posted. Today is that day!

This picture of Ruthie I got because she spent a half hour making faces at me...this was the one she made the most! Brielle was also in on the silly act and showed up in the living room with a shirt on her head...she knew how funny she was!

Silly little baby!

Funny girl!

Micah had western day at his school. We went to a second hand store and got him the hat and shirt...he tried to wear the same outfit the following day...Brad and I are sure he is destined to be a cowboy or farmer...either way we'll be proud!

We had Spring Break this last week and a couple of the days the weather held out for bike riding. The boys biked and Brielle watched.

Taking it all in...





She found her pockets.

Our friends Jeremy and Mamie came to visit so we took them to our favorite Mexican restaurant with our other friends Marc and Amber.

Papa and the girls

Brielle and Christian love to do laps around a stack of pillows in the living room...I don't get it, but it's funny!

Christian also loves to jump over things.



On a lazy Sunday I went in to check on Ruthie...this is what I found.....

The cat didn't stay there long, I kicked her out, but I'm glad for the picture!
