Easter

Yes. If you must know it is a little emberassing to post pictures from Easter in May.

Our ward (neighborhood) had its usual Easter egg hunt. Of course Dana was a little busier since she had to help plan it. The kids had a good time although Emma was a little sick the morning of the hunt. (Yes she lost her breakfast just after that 2nd picture.)

Funny 2 Year Old

So I think (and I am pretty sure Dana agrees (and we are in no ways partial)) that we have some pretty good kids. Of course at times they can get a little silly. We find Spencer at this age has his own ideas on how things should be done. Here are a few examples:

Spencer has taken an interest in potty training very early. There are still a few details to work out.

He has also taken an interest in fashion. I am just not sure which fashion.

The culinary world has nothing on him either. He has very good reasons for using an ice cream scooper as a spoon. You will have to ask him what that is.

Well, there is no real explanation here.

And of course as every landscaping expert will tell you, everything is easier if you just lay down in the middle of it.

Ben's 5th Birthday!

Ben had his 5th birthday a little over a week ago. We had a little family party with a lady bug cake. For gifts he got a car race track, robotic bugs, a couple of Star Wars toys and Batman Lego for the Xbox. He is a good kid and from the first picture you can tell he had a good time.

Also, Emma had hawaiian day at school. We borrowed some things from our neighbors and this is the picture.

Saturdays Adventure

So we have started trying to have adventures on Saturday. It is usually not anything big, but we try to get out and do something together as a family. This last Saturday we had breakfast at Krispy Kreme and then went to D.I. where everyone was able to pick out a book or two.

We are excited for warmer weather so we can explore some new parks, head up into the mountains, and various other types of adventures.

Spencer is 2 Years Old!

I think Spencer enjoyed his Birthday pretty well. Emma and Ben gave him a bunch of musical instruments which all the kids are enjoying. He also received a soccer net and the hoohh-haahh movie (Kung Fu Panda).



Spencer also enjoyed his clown cake (as you can see below). The picture with his hands waving is him conducting us all in our rousing rendition of Happy Birthday.

Christmas Morning

We had a great Christmas. It was fun to have my family with us.

Christmas Eve Activities

So a few pics from Christmas Eve (or at least thereabouts...). First few are the kids beating up Pa. If anyone is to lay on the floor in our house, they are asking for it.



Next, Emma lost yet another tooth. She mostly just has to gum her food now ;).



Megan and John celebrated Christmas on Christmas Eve with us since they headed to California Christmas morning.



The kids all got matching pajamas this year. Dana and I thought they were kind of cute.



Finally, Emma and Ben had to go out on Christmas Eve to spread some reindeer food on the lawn with glitter in it so Santa and his reindeer would know where to land.
