Easter Baskets!

The Easter bunny came again!  He always comes on Saturday at out house so we can focus on the real meaning of Easter on Sunday!

Neighborhood Easter Egg Hunt!

We live in such a wonderful neighborhood, we go on Sunday walks and stop and talk to most of our neighbors!  Some of our neighbors organized an Easter egg hunt for the young kids, we had breakfast out in our cul-de-sac and hid eggs while everyone was eating.  Then sent the kids out to find the loot!

The little kids went first then...

The rest!

Violet with her loot!

He was really busy playing with friends and did not really care about the candy!

She got one of the eggs that said prize on it and got that ball!

Ninja EVERYWHERE!

Preston got this Ninja outfit for his birthday and LOVES it!  He wanted to wear it to church, school and everywhere he has to go!

Here is a picture of the ninja at the grocery store!

Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles Birthday!

My little boy turned 6 I still can't believe how fast he is growing up!  All year we had been planing on having a superhero's party but about 2 weeks before he decided that he likes TMNT waaaaay better.  So I tried to pull together a party for him!

birthday gifts!

Ninja masks and a note from Master Shredder for the scavenger hunt!

Cute balloons!

His pizza cake!

Blowing out the candles!

Even the girls loved the party!

Updates on Ruby!

Little Ruby is growing up so fast!  She is into EVERYTHING and so proud of all her little accomplishments!  She is still happy all the time and the entire family is enamored with her!

One day I put her three hairs into piggies!!!  SO CUTE!

She climbed into daddy's suitcase and then started throwing all his clothes out!

Happy St Patty's Day!

These are the colors of my rainbow!

Outside goings on!

Now that the snow has started melting we are back outside spending our free time working in the yard. We discovered we had a vole problem, those little mice were chewing up our yard all winter!

Then we got a bench and gave it a little face lift! 

Dorothy's dance recital!

Lifehouse had the annual fireside the theme was about having gratitude in all aspects of life, it was beautiful and the spirit was very strong!

Ready to dance!

That is Dorothy in the center!

Dorothy loves dance and is VERY talented!  

Sickness again!

It has been a bad winter for our family!  We have had one thing after another!  Dorothy had a horrible stomach virus that lasted for about 2 weeks and Ruby got really sick with a very high fever.  They almost admitted her into the hospital but thankfully (because the pediatrician is a good family friend) he just kept checking on her.

This is all the kids at the Dr's for Dorothy.

This is when little Ruby was sick with a high fever.

The only way she would sleep was if she was being held!  Good thing daddy was happy to oblige!

Then little Violet got the stomach flu and was home sick.  She called James and begged him to get her Wreck it Ralph and daddy came home at lunch with the movie for her!  

Kindy 500!

We (ok mostly James) slaved over making a car for little Pressy, he wanted a bat mobile.  Making that car was no easy task but when it was all done Preston was in heaven and James did an amazing job!
