Just to make you Laugh

So the kids were playing with glorianna's camera this morning and I asked to see some of the pictures.... there are 600 pictures on this little thing!! Now most of the are the floor or someones nose but A few are just beautiful. Hope you enjoy the world from the Kids point of view. The camera made it home in February when we went to Ohio -- I even saw a few pics of Mr. Lincoln, black eye and all!!



You never looked so good Grandma Pam!!! A whole new meaning to 4 eyes! LOL

There were 72 pictures of this adorable yellow my little pony. The pony was on the floor, on the table, flying thru the air.... a visual story book with My Little Pony as the star!

Easter Weekend

Well we are back home and the laundry is going, the kitchen is a mess, and mommy has alot of work ahead of her today . It was a great Easter Weekend in Ohio, Saturday the weather was just beautiful!! The kids even got to find Easter eggs outside. Saturday was Nate's side of the family, its amazing how much the family has grown it such a short amount of time!! Grandma & Grandpa's house was filled with noise.







On Saturday, Lily and Mommy also went to go visit my grandma Aggie in the nursing home. She doesn't recognize us and isn't quite herself anymore, but she sure enjoyed spending time with her great granddaughter Lily! At the end she was even telling the nurses that Lily was her great granddaughter!! It was great to see grandma smiling and in a good mood.



Easter Morning was quite exciting for the kids, I believe Xavier woke up everyone upstairs when he saw what the Easter bunny brought!! His ultimate gift was the first three dvds of Star Wars!! All the kids got flip flops, sunglasses, jellybeans and Peter Rabbit chocolate Easter bunny.

Mommy had everyone showered, dressed, and dolled up for church. Boy was that exhausting!!! But I think we make a cute family!!


{the kids with Grandma and Grandpa Blankemeyer}



{Rosetta and Mason-- she wants to babysit sooo bad!!}


{what a doll!!!}







Lincoln on his Easter egg hunt. He did not want to come inside after the Easter egg hunt, he is Mr. Independent.


Awww... so cute!!!









He is in search of an egg!



Faith had a good time hiding the Easter eggs again and again for the kids to find!


{Rosetta and her Cousin Faith-- they got along really well at Easter and I think they wore each other out!}



{where's my eggs at mom!! -- wait till next year she will be ready to find them!}


Lincoln and cousin Jacob needed a breather after the egg hunt.



Look at these cuties!!! {Lily and Mason}


Nate got a little Mason time -- now that I think about it I don't think I even got to hold the little man. I am going to have to get double time next time we are home!






This is what it looks like on the way home.

Coming off a sugar high.

Way Way too much excitement.

The lull of the rain putting everyone asleep.

Mommy's blissful time!




We stopped at a McDonalds that overlooks I-80 -- it was really neat. We have never stopped there before, maybe because it is the most overpriced gas stop around!! $4.29/gallon




We are now home..... time to get to work.

I wish there was more time...

more time for everything... more time for family, more time for sleeping, more time to watch the kids grow up..more time for spending it with my children...time is going by way to fast..it seems to be going by much faster as I am getting older. Is anyone else feeling like this? These are the moments that melt my heart... daddy playing with the kids. He got suckered into the playdoh chaos that overcame our house on saturday.

They were making all kinds of cakes, cookies, and ice cream cones!!! On sunday we had the kids AWANA awards ceremony. The two younger kids got a picture with Cubbie Bear. We are so proud of Rosetta, Glorianna, and Xavier for doing so well.


The kids enjoyed the weekend... we had a blast and it just went too fast.
