The Kids

Saturday we went to the park for an Easter egg hunt for the kids.  They had 4 different sections divided by ages and Joanna was up first in the 0,1 and 2 year old group.  It was so cute to watch them but took a long time for those little kids to pick up all the eggs.  Joanna loved it.

 Running to show her loot:

 Chase's group was next and he did a really good job.  There was one time when he and another little girl got to an egg at the same time and he snatched it up first and then offered it to her... such a nice boy :)

 they had several hard boiled eggs in with the candy filled eggs and if you got a hard boiled egg you won a monetary prize... the kids ended up getting $4 with their eggs.

 After the hunt was over we sat there and emptied all the eggs so we didn't have to take them home. These were all from us!:

 The kids had a blast and were so cute

Sunday morning we went to church and then in the evening we had Ricky's family over for dinner.  I hadn't been expecting to host but Ricky's mom was sick and so we switched the location to our house.  So I had to clean the house and prep after church on Sunday.  They all got here around 5:30 and we had a quick egg hunt and then ate a very yummy meal of hamballs, cheesy potatoes, Lima beans, applesauce, bread and strawberry jam, meadow tea and a delicious lemon dessert.

I don't know if you've noticed my new blog header but I think I'm going to keep that one for a while, I'm kind of in love with it.  Joanna has been picking me lots and lots of flowers/dandelions lately and I love it.  I tell her that she can pick as many dandelions as she pleases, and she does! :)

My flowers continue to pop up and bloom and it makes me so happy :)  My clematis vine is 3 times the size as it was last week when I took a picture of it!  and my tulips are looking beautiful:

We've definitely been enjoying this springtime, almost feels like summertime, weather...

So the other day Katy was looking so cute in her little cherry onesie, bib overalls and "I am Loved" button from Grammy and I decided to try and get a good shot of her.  I got some good expressions from her although they are blurry.  I did get a couple winners though. 
Here she is blowing raspberries, one of her favorite past times:

more raspberries :P

I love that smile:

Here's a good one:

She loves to laugh:

"Mom, stop taking pictures, please":

And the absolute winner!

What a doll, I love those dimples :)
