Saying Goodbye

We went to Grandma Leslie's and Grandpa Lyale's house to bid farewell to Uncle Bryan, Aunt Amy, James and Paige. They are moving to another state. It is sad to see them go, especially now as the kids are now at an age where they enjoy each other's company :(

Second Annual Easter Egg Hunt

My sister-in-law Amy started this Easter Egg Hunt thing last year. It is a family get together, and it is a lot of fun. Since she has a lot of family in the area, it is almost like a mini-family reunion. Basically, all of the cousins, and anyone who is related, plus a few friends come out to the hunt. All of the children bring 12 filled plastic eggs a piece. The adults hide all of the eggs, and then, the kids pull them out of the bushes, trees, grass, and other random places.

Plus, Amy has made it into a birthday party for her two kids since they are both born in April... So, there is a pinata and cupcakes. Lots of fun!!! What a great idea!! (it sure beats taking the kids to a crowded event!)

Playing with Grandpa, He doesn't have to be awake does he?

We went by to visit Grandma Leslie and Grandpa Lyale. We played games. Then, Grandpa got tired. Jaden and Morgan took advantage of the opportunity to dress him up like the wolf/grandma in the story of Little Red Riding Hood. Then, as he slept, Morgan played puppets with him!!

Visiting Family in the Other End of the State

Hard to believe that Jaden & Morgan were playing outside in sundresses & shooting water at each other (the next week, we got 9 inches of snow!)

Morgan LOVES Grandma Frances' barbeque ribs!!

Can you tell it was a beautiful sunny day?

Fashion glasses & goggles (above & below) I am glad Morgan likes glasses so much because she may actually need them! I am taking her into the eye doctor as soon as our eye insurance kicks in April 1st.

Big Milestone~ Their First S'Mores

It's not so strange when a 3 year old and 5 year old have never had a S'More, but a 45 year old!? At the family picnic, we roasted marshmallows. Then, Jaden, Morgan & LECOUNT tried a S'More for the first time in their lifetime! As you can see, when LeCount went to eat his, it was a newsworthy moment, and photographers came from everywhere!
