Easter


Easter is one of my favorite holidays (maybe because of the Cadbury eggs, but that is a different story all together!). The kids had a scream being at Grandma's and the weather even cooperated. The Easter bunny was very kind and we had a great time hunting for eggs and spending time with family.





















Robbie's First Train Set

My uncle Eric recently gave Robbie his first train set. He was SO excited, and has become a huge train fiend. I was hoping to avoid this interest but here we go!

The fantastic and wonderful Bern

This last weekend we went to Bern, Idaho to visit Nick's parents. It turned out to be a fun and busy weekend. On Saturday, Nick's Mom picked up her Bountiful basket order and inside was a young coconut. We split it in half and put a smoothie inside. Robbie, obviously, thought it was amazing. Even after he spilt it all over his body (thus the child nakedness).
















We also went to Rissa's inlaws Dairy/Sheep farm. Ami was entranced with the baby sheep. Robbie, not so much. Lazer boy (as my Dad affectionately calls him) had eyes only for the tractors. He and his cow boy boots were all over that thing.


"Um, hi. Where's the tractor?)



Bern has a plethora of SNOW. I wanted to cry, but Ami had a scream with her Aunt Rissa.

The snow man kit was very handy.


Ami could have spent all day with the lambs. She was even able to hold some that were born the night before.







Needless to say, we came back exhausted but fulfilled. Thanks Dave and Toni!

Retirement Party Cake

A lady at my Mom's work was retiring, so I was asked to make a cake. We did a "Surviving Retirement" theme. It was super fun and I learned tons!

Glasses!

Look at this hot mamma! Doesn't she look amazing? Disney princess glasses all the way. They even came with a princess carrying purse. Awesome.


Christmas Chaos

This year for Christmas we were at the Bodily's. As were Rachel's sister Becki, and her family, and Rachel's brothers Jared and Joe. With kids and parents in toe, we numbered 12! Wowsa. 2 Grandparents, 2 uncles, 2 sets of parents and 4 kids under the age of 4. My head is still spinning! The kids had a scream playing and wore themselves out every day. Christmas morning was INSANE but very fun. This picture is just after the kids saw their Santa presents.


The picture of chaotic glory.

Ami's face speaks how we all were feeling. Is it bed time yet?

And here's trouble. As you can see, he has already feasted on the traditional Christmas breakfast of...chocolate. Love it.





Da Vinci Exhibit

Ami recently went to the Museum of Idaho with her Dad and Grandparents. She had lots of adventures!
