Easter Sunday

Here are the kids in their Easter outfits. They were pretty well behaved all day even with all the sugar!! The girls received Webkinz bunnies which they couldn't wait to get on-line and play with them. Ryan received a dog and a chick that walks around. (Plus the standard candy and knick-knack stuff!) We sure had a busy weekend but we spent it with family which is the best busy to have! We love times to share with our families!

On Your Mark...Get Set....GO....

This year we have MANY egg hunts but the kids love each one just the same! We had the one at the park a few weeks ago, one at church, the annual Buckner hunt, and one at Grandma Speer's house. It is always a site to see all the many grandkids scatter and gather eggs at Grandma and Grandpa Buckners!! The church hunt was VERY busy and harder to get many eggs. At Grandma and Grandpa Speer's each child had a specific color egg to hunt which made it easy to help each child find their eggs. The kids have a blast each time and help each other out. They are such caring kids....when they want to be!!!

Dying to Color Eggs!!

The kids really enjoyed coloring the eggs. The kit we had this year had a special crayon in it. First you colored on the egg with the crayon and when you dyed the egg the design came out. They had fun making pictures on the eggs. Ryan was so impressed with the eggs turning colors!! He thought it was so cool. Mad did a good job and didn't break a single one. Lauren, the artist, spent a lot of time on her designs but they were nice.

High School Musical

Lauren and Emma have been great buds since kindergarten. Emma's Mom and I decided to surprise the girls and take them on a mystery date. It drove Lauren NUTS not knowing where we were going or what we were doing. We took the girls to Applebee's first and tried to tell them that was the date but they weren't buying it! We then just drove around downtown for awhile. When we turned and the girls saw the High School Musical Live sign they got real quiet. Then when we turned into the parking lot they went CRAZY!! It was a fantastic show. Even the moms have a great time!! It was a super fun night and the girls LOVED it!!

Meadowood Egg Hunt

The egg hunt at the park was cold this year but still warmer than last year! The kids had a good time and found a lot of eggs. Each won some prizes and Lauren won a HUGE Easter basket full of goodies! She was super excited!!! The kids are all in different areas for the hunt which made it tricky on Mom and Dad, but we all had fun. It's become a fun tradition for us.

Spring Has Sprung!!!!

Finally some warm weather!!! We took advantage of the fantastic weather and had our first picnic lunch of the season! Our neighbor Lindsey came over for the picnic also. Ryan also worked on skating....one of his favorite things to do outside. The kids also played on the swingset. It was a super great day. We have waited a LONG time for some good warm weather!!

We Start Training Young!!

Ryan loves his "mow-mow". He got this new one for his birthday and couldn't wait to use it. He didn't let a little snow get in his way! Though many passing people teased me on teaching him young how to mow the grass! He stayed out there for a long while mowing the snow.
