I've Never Been More Proud

I'm always entertained at

what Max thinks is a good idea.

He was devastated when he couldn't get

this toilet seat off as easily as he got it on.

Happy Birthday Ruby Red Squirt!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY RUBY!

RUBERS, RUBY TUESDAY, RUBIX CUBE, RUBY RED SQUIRT

Ruby really enjoyed her 1st chocolate cake.

All the kids did for that matter.

She had a fun time watching

everyone else open her presents too.

As always the wrapping paper

was better than anything she got.

Our Friends the Hannings

(Mike was in the academy with Josh)

Karie & Jaden never miss a party.

Kaylee joined them this time.

Field Day!!!

Lucy's School Had a Crazy/Fun Field Day Today!

I was lucky enough to volunteer.

Ruby was there soaking up the sun.

Her crew: Allen, Jaelynn, and Max

There was water, parachutes,

balls, big wheels and oh so much more.

Jealous?

Oh, thoses dog days... well not quite

Our New German Shepherd

PSYCH!!!

So we thought we'd try a big dog out for size.

We thought it'd be good for protection & Security.

She basically just ticked off Sparky and peed on the floor.

But Josh enjoyed the heck out of that dog.

It's Always Fun When the Grandparents Come

Mimi has wanted to decorate

picture frames with the kids since Thanksgiving.

Here we are finally getting to them.

Max & Mimi Decorating leaves
Lucy found that glitter glue explodes
when you put it in the microwave...
it does actually look pretty cool.

Papa gave the kids (JOSH)
this little indoor helicopter!
Josh might be the best mini pilot ever!

Jake is jumping across the pond to Italy!

We hit the Peppermill for

one last breakfast before he leaves

Everyone Loves uncle Jake!

We were pretty lucky

to get to hang out with Papa Rob

for a few days while he was in town.

The kids love to have Papa Rob read them stories.

JOG-A-THON

LUCY'S JOG-A-THON

Thanks to all those who pledged for Lucy jog!

Oh yeah sorry I called 5 min before it started to get those.
What a pro. !
She even had time to stop and kiss babies.

One of her many spectators

That's 21 laps baby!

Easter

COLORING EASTER EGGS

Our friend Jazz came over to help us decorate!
Josh even got in on some of the coloring action

Kristen and Jodi came by right before their cruise,

so naturally we made them color a few eggs as well.

I think Ruby made quite a haul

on her first Easter... don't you think?

And the best part of this Easter was we all did it together.
