How many pictures does it take....

To get 3 BEAUTIFUL kids to look at the camera at the same time!

EASTER 2011

We had a GREAT Easter! The kids woke up very excited to find their eggs that the Easter Bunny had hid (after they got over the creepy fact that the bunny came in while they were sleeping..Santa OK Easter Bunny not so much!) We ( Chad and I ) has a good Eater breakfast. The kids mostly ate candy. We were 20 min late for church and they were on a sugar high. That afternoon we went to some friends house for an early dinner. SO YUMMY!!! There was a TON of GREAT food!! And GREAT friends = a GREAT day! I'll try not to say great again. The kids had a blast on a 2nd egg hunt and considering there were 15 kids and we were there 6 hours they all did REALLY good. Hardly any fighting or crying.

FOREVER FANS

Papa and Nana got the kids these Griz outfits for Christmas and Caleb finally fits his. I am sure you have seen them wearing them in many previous pictures....They love them! Sorry to all the Bobcat fans;)

Even though He is 5 and will be starting Kidergarden this year (tear!) he was ONCE my BABY. He got this dog "mommy puppy" for Christmas when he was 1 from Great Grandpa Vern and still sleeps with it EVERY night.

While Chad was in Nashville taking a class (eating at yummy places, listening to wanna-b country singers, seeing all the great sites, and the WHOLE time thinking about me since it is on my list of places to visit) I DID NOT wallow in self pity instead I took the kids into Lakeside to feed the ducks!

The loved it! And shared their bread with any other little kid who walked by.

Sometimes the AZ sun is so bright.

Justin: "hey mom, look at those ducks fighting. They are all trying to get that one."

Me: "um...yep" then quickly change the subject

Caleb is such a good happy baby.

I love feeding the ducks and watching my kids feed the ducks. I remember doing it as a kid in Boise when we would visit my Grandparents.

Such a hard job
