"Chicks Adore Me"

Easter Morning

On Easter's eve while we're sleeping,
the Easter Bunny makes a hill for us to roll our eggs down.  =)

Nathan and Joshua with their new Lego crash cars.

Easter Eggs

 

Joshua found the Harry Potter glasses we got at Halloween, and for all of Easter weekend wore them as if they were really his by necessity. 

Gone Bowling

 

Greg had the Friday of Spring Break off for "Good Friday".  So, we finished off the week with a trip to the bowling alley.  Greg scored an amazing 178, and the rest of us realized how much harder real bowling is than playing it on the Wii.  =)

A Little Glow

 

 

When Grandparents come to visit, it's always hard to see them go.  They "refresh" my perspective on my children, helping me see again the good and lovable in each one.  Life seems to have a little "glow" when we get to share it together.  Thanks, Mom and Dad, for another great visit!

Around the House

 

Cooking with Grandma, Wii with Grandpa, and Yard Work with Everyone!
So good to have some time to "just be regular" together!

Night Out on the Town

 

Dinner at Wendy's and miniature golfing. 

Several hole in ones, a little girl that climbed every rock, and sweet baby in his stroller looking on, and most eventfully...balls to be fished out of water hazards that got "accidentally" hit in more times than we'd like to remember!

Henry Ford Museum

 

Monday we explored the Henry Ford Museum.  Some of our favorite parts were the huge trains, the presidential motorcade cars, the hands-on car repair shop, paper airplane making and flying, and the assembly line.  We always love a good museum, but this day was especially great for all of us!  Grandpa is so interested and curious and Grandma gets in and makes it fun!

General Conference Weekend

This year we had an awesome Spring Break and Grandpa and Grandma Visit all wrapped all into one!  We started out with a weekend at home watching General Conference and playing in the yard between sessions. 

March Madness

 

Another great "March Madness" season has come and gone.  For a family activity we each filled out the brackets...even Elizabeth this year.  We anxiously followed the first couple rounds and then remembered why we usually don't end up watching the final games...we're too mad about how horribly we fare on our "Family Bracketology" competition!  Thankfully this year some of us (we won't mention names) re-rallied for a respectable finish.  =)  Mostly it's just fun to have something we're all invested in and "following" to talk over at the dinner table each evening all month long!
