Easter Egg Hunt

Our Church Primary did a very fair Easter Egg hunt this year. Each kid picks up twelve eggs and then sits down. What ever is left over they get to all try and grab at the end.
Claire is very clever. She found the egg hidden under the cone.

Egg Heads

Today we continued our egg dying tradition. Madee and Sam are getting big enough now that they can do almost everything themselves


We ended up with a fine bunch of egg heads.

This and That

I saw this idea on pinterest and thought I would try it on my fridge. Its not a pretty as I thought it would be. I don't know. It sure does free up some fridge magnets though.
Madee made a leprechaun trap for St Patrick's day and she told me there was little green foot prints like these all around the room when they came back to school on monday.
She told me that one kid caught a leprechaun because there was a pot of gold left behind but it got away :) it was cute to see her so excited to tell us about it.
My Sister Kaytie and I have been talking about organizing and I was trying to come up with a way to do so with the kids toys (Can you tell we have too many) So I used these laundry buckets I have been collecting after buy and using detergent. I have a bunch just sitting around so I put them to good use using what I have. I made little red covers and I think I might add labels as well. Its what I have been up too.

kids

Sam my HeMan, Star wars, Batman loving little Man!!
We had a few really nice days it felt like spring when the sun was out. We put new sand in the sandbox and the kids were playing in it all the time again. It really was wonderful. Then it snowed again. :(
Her is Madee enjoying the backyard.
I may have posted this picture already but I think they just look so great! You never get a picture where there all looking and smiling but this one is pretty close. I love my kids.

Valintine Day

I'm a little late posting but Lincoln's so sweet. He got roses for all us girls!
Claire Checking her flower out! So cute!
So Pretty I love it!

New Addition

Well we are finally a Mini Van Family unfortuately. Its ok though it was bound to happen eventually. Lincoln and I used to tease each other that we would get some other kind of car before we got a mini van but really they just get better gas milage have more space and fit more people. Saturday we went to a local dealership and bought ourselves a Honda Oddessy 2006. Its light tan or gold and seats eight people and has 12 cup holders. I love it. Lincoln also got offer a Loan Officer Position with American West Bank which he accepted last monday. We are also very very excited about this. So the Mini Van is our new addition. That is all!!

In the snow

These are from a few weeks ago but we had a great big snow dump and the kids loved playing and digging in it.
Sam and Madee made a snow man and did a mighty fine job.
Madee got a new dress for taxmas and Sam got a new white shirt and tie and he looks a lot like his friend Robbie in this picture its cute.
