Happy Easter!

We had a nice, quiet Easter this year. We hunted for eggs with friends, on Saturday we looked for eggs in our backyard and on Sunday we went to church and then came home and had a nice meal together. Here are some quick pictures! Never mind that it was so bright that we didn't really get a good one on Sunday and I guess you'll have to please excuse the soccer uniforms they were wearing on Saturday ;)

It's no easy feat getting all of them to look at the camera and smile at one time.

It was so bright - when you add that fact to the fact that we tried to take a picture AFTER church, not before, I guess we were lucky to get any sort of picture at all!

Spring a little early this year...

March turned out to be a great month for a lot of reasons, a few of them being 3 birthdays, a quick weekend trip, and fantastic weather! At one point last month I heard that there had been 8 or 9 days over 80 here - that's unheard of! We like to make the most of good weather so we've been spending a lot of time outside. A few quick pictures -

Family traffic jam on the slide -

Family bike rides have begun!

Kate has turned out to be very interested in bike riding - she rides like a champ and loves it! We put the cones out in the cul-de-sac and she goes, and goes, and goes...

Annie is great with little kids and loves playing with her siblings. This past weekend she got Tyler saying "Uh-oh!" it's very cute!

Hope everyone is having a great spring - Happy Easter!

CUTOUT AND PRINT

A teeny, tiny bit of snow

It's been a weird winter! Very little snow and very little cold. There are parts of that I won't complain about. It's nice not having to do massive bundle ups for all the kids every time we leave the house, but the major bummer is that the kids have hardly had the chance to play in the snow.

Last weekend we did receive two or three inches of snow and we made really good use of it! Peter pretty much wanted to be out there at all times and the girls had a lot of fun as well. Here are a couple of pictures documenting our winter fun this year.

When the weekend was done I had to wash all of the snow gear because there was mud all over it (a sure way to tell there isn't enough snow!).

I know that March still might pull through with a snow storm, but March means spring so we aren't counting on it. I guess we won't have a snow cave post this year - we'll just have to wait till next year!

Entertaining Tyler

Since Christmas is way over, the New Year has come, and we ate too much candy on Valentine's Day, I thought I'd get a new picture up... Just a picture of the kiddos before school one day, but it does show why Tyler had no motivation to learn to crawl. He's moving now, but when you have 3 siblings who bring you everything you need, would you bother learning to crawl? ;)

Merry Christmas!

We hope you have a very Merry Christmas!

Our Little Star

The kids decided that it was Tyler's turn to put the star on the top of the tree this year - Tyler was SO excited :)

He knows how to pose for a picture!

He loves being with the family and having the kids cheer him on brought lots of smiles.

Hope you are having lots of smiles right now too, tis the season - Merry Christmas!
