Happy Easter

The kids and I had a lot of fun getting ready for Easter. They helped make Easter treats and eggs.

They also got ready for Easter at preschool. Both kids' classes got to see and hold a real rabbit. You can see that Charlie was thrilled.

Both kids also had an Easter egg hunt at school.

We also made a trip to meet the Easter Bunny. I was amazed that Morgan did not cry!

We even took advantage of the only sunny day last week to get our family picture taken in our Easter best!

Easter Sunday began with finding our hidden Easter baskets. (Taylor found them all.)

Then we went to church followed by lunch at Aunt Jessica and Uncle Chad's house.

Grandma loved being with all five of her grandkids!

We had our Easter egg hunt in the basement, and the kids loved it.

It stopped raining long enough to snap a quick picture outside with my mom and sister.

It was a fun, and surprising relaxing day!

Look Who's Sitting Up!

Morgan is mastering the art of sitting up by herself. It gives her world a whole new perspective!

Field Trip to Domino's Pizza

I took Taylor to her class field trip today. They went to Domino's where they got to tour the back and make their own pizza with a friend. Taylor was paired up with her classmate, Hailey.

First they got to type their names and their order into the computer.

Then, after washing their hands and donning aprons, the started spreading out their dough.

Next they added toppings (extra cheese!).

After a quick trip to check out the walk-in cooler, they learned how to fold pizza boxes.

Finally the lady cut their pizza for them. The kids then took their pizzas back to school where they ate them for snack.

Luckily, Taylor had some left over. So she brought it home to share with mom and Charlie.

Charlie's first soccer practice

Charlie had his very first soccer practice today.

He did great in the beginning when he was just practicing on his own.

Then he was a little slow getting started when practicing with the group. He got the hang of it quickly, though!

Cousin Jacob is playing soccer, too, but he's on a different team.

Birthday Party

Taylor and Grace went to a birthday party today. (It was for Taylor's classmate and Grace's neighbor.)

The party was at The Web. First, the bowled.

Then they ate pizza. Next was mini-golf.

Taylor really liked this and told me "now you know that I can play this". I think it was her first time.

After the cake and ice cream, it was time for ski ball and other arcade games.

Taylor's Preschool Song

Taylor had grandma come to school with her today. I popped in at the end to see her singing this song.

Morgan 'Talking'

Morgan has been babbling a lot lately. Here's a little video of her baby talk.

Grandma's 85th Birthday

A lot of people came for my Grandma's 85th birthday party this weekend.

It was a surprise so Taylor and Charlie were the lookouts.

She was very surprised. (Almost TOO surprised)

Taylor had fun reading with her Grandma.

Poor Jacob busted his face and then fell asleep on his mama.

Grandma loved the photo book that I made with everyone's pictures.

Here's Grandma with her five children.

Here she is with some of her grandchildren and great-grandchildren.

Then the in-laws wanted their turn.

It was a great day. It made me realize how lucky I am to have such a special and loving family.
