Easter Sunday

We went to my parents house for Easter dinner and cousin egg hunt.

It was a beautiful day, so we walked to the park when we were done.
Finn is ALL boy. And loves to climb. Without thinking twice about it, (or asking for our approval) he climbed all the way up the climbing wall with absolutely no help. Second time around, while we were filming him, didn't do as well, but that is why we were standing close to catch him.

Sunday Dinner

This afternoon the family came over for dinner. We brought the camera out too late and missed Emmie and Finn walking around holding hands.

Our backyard is perfect for fall BBQ's. The sun's location has changed and the entire backyard is shaded in the afternoon. In the dead of summer, our patio was in full sun.


The kids spent most of the evening in the neighbor's backyard playing on their swing set. Finn loves the slide, going up...


And coming down, with McKenzie's help of course.

Crawling Babies

Saturday was Soren's baptism. After the baptism, we let the kids run wild in the gym. Finn is still getting the hang of crawling which was even harder for him on the slippery floor. Emmie is all over the place and was tackling Finn. She would climb on him and smash his face down into the floor. You can tell she already knows how to defend herself from Mckenzie.

Flashback Friday - All You Need is Love.

I took a photography class in college and did a project about the people I love. I do love more people than this, but these are the people that were easily accessible, probably the day before it was due.

The date on my project was December 15, 2001 and here are a few of the photos from it. (obviously they don't look quite as good because I had to scan them in, I promise they looked good at the time.)

April Birthday Party

Over the weekend we had a April Birthday party at Mckay and Jodie's house. They have the best house for all the billions of kids in our family.

Here are pictures of Finn playing on their playset. None of these pictures capture the joy he was experiencing on the swing.

And just cute Finn laying in the playroom. (and my foot)

Bath Time

What started with one kid taking a bath, turned into five kids taking a bath. As each cousin walked in to see what was happening, they started taking their clothes off. After 4 babies were in the bath, I figured I might as well throw Finn in. We all know how much he loves the water.

Thank goodness my parents have a large tub.

March Birthday's

Our family has a lot of birthdays in March. Sunday afternoon we had a combined birthday party at my brother Matt's house.



Cousin Emmie!

Ben is not a fan of visors (neither am I).
