HAPPY EASTER!!

         

Saturday we had an Easter egg hunt at Midwestern. They had jump houses and slide, facepainting, cookie decorating, snacks. We had fun.

After we came home and decorated eggs. I found this great way for kids to use wire whisks to hold the eggs and it worked so much better than the flimsy wire they give you in the boxes.                                        

These were on Easter Sunday. It was a beautiful day that we spent it outside. The kids loved playing with the crockett sets they got and Crew was walking around everywhere. It's not very often that Ryan and I have a picture together but Taylor wanted to take one. We had a great Easter and hope everyone's was just as good. We love you all!

We definitely are going to miss this about Arizona. We can swim almost anytime of the year. My kids love it. Crew loves splashing around and is pretty much fearless which is scary because I have to watch him every second. He'll go under, I'll get him out and he'll go right back in.

Kelton is my little fish. He has gotten so good at swimming. He loves to dive, flip, jump, do anything in the water or off the side.

I love these kids. Sometimes are challenging with each one but I don't know what I would do without them. I love you!

Taylor! (this was a new swimsuit from Grandma K) This sums it up some. She's my little poser, performer, sassy, sweet girl. She's knows what she wants and a personality to die for. She's my loveable crazy girlfriend.

AAAAAHHHHH!!!!! SHARKS!

We have loved the hiking to. We have a mountain right over by the church that has many trails and some easy ones that our kids can do without us carrying them.

Crew has finally decided to walk. He never had to before because he the help of older siblings. So check him out.....(sorry, it's a little scratchy-we don't have the best camera but it works)

What's been Happening?

Hello family and friends. Sorry it's been soooo long but here we are. A brief over view of what we've been doing here in Arizona since we saw everyone at christmas time. Here we go.......

Kelton turned 6 in January. I can't believe he's getting so big. We had a Super Hero party. We played "Follow Flash", made t-shirts (which amazingly stayed pretty clean) and the kids loved, then outside for a Villians vs. Heros silly string attack (another favorite), then rice crispies, presents, and more hero games. 15 kids in all, busy, but LOTS of fun. Kelton was happy!

Ryan turned...........

That's right. the BIG 3-0. His big gift from us was a Wii. I couldn't believe that I actually bought one but it's been a lot of fun. Later that night we went to Peter Piper Pizza (a cleaner version of Chuck e Cheese). He said he didn't want anything big but I know he loved it. We had a lot of fun with all our friends and there families.

Every year that we've been here, we have done a Valentine's Day Party. This year our theme was Cupid. We went to an archery and had so much fun playing different games and learning to shoot. What a blast. Then to our house for Fondue. It was so delicious and our friends loved the time away from the kids. I have loved all the people we've meet here.

Crew is getting so big. He is learning to walk and finally has 4 teeth. They are HUGE! What else would you expect. He loves playing, eating, sometimes without his hands, and more playing. Especially with Daddy. I can't believe he his one already!

He was really excited about the candle which lead to....

Him grabbing it and burning a little finger. Ouch!

He then didn't really want anything to do with the cake, but with a little persuasion.....

He got into it. He ate a little, got a little in his ears and hair then off to the bath. He's my little angel but growing so fast.

And last but not least....

Ryan sold his motorcycle. Yes, he's sad but he needed a car for fourth year. So with in a couple days he found a great acura and has enjoyed driving it.

Sorry it's been a while since the last posting. It seems like we have been so busy and I can hardly find time to do things that I would like to get caught up on. Keep watching for upcoming photos. I promise I will get them up soon. Love you all!
