Easter 2014

While Sean was at a meeting and Hallie was hanging out with a friend, the boys and I colored eggs.  I guess it wasn't very exciting, because Dewey was more than ready to go outside when we were done.

Waiting in the hall before we let them see their Easter baskets.

I guess the Easter Bunny ran out of spots to hide the baskets, so he just left them on the table this year.

All ready for church.  Man, my kids are getting big!

Hallie looks so pretty and grown up in this picture.  You would never guess she is 10, almost 11.

At my parents house, we like to cage the kids in the basement while the adults hide the eggs.  I think they were a little more than ready to go outside.

McBride's also had an easter egg hunt.  My kids were spoiled as usual.  So grateful for the nice weather that we had.

Derby Districts

Because Dewey won first place in his troop, he got to move on to districts.  His truck did pretty well and he took 1st place out of the Tiger Cub group.

Here is 1st, 2nd, and 3rd out of the Tiger Cubs.  Dewey was pretty excited to get a trophy!

Dewey's 7th Birthday

Dewey turned 7 years old on his Birthday this year.  He was so excited to see his gift, that he snuck out into the garage and peeked.

Here he is riding his new bike.

We went to Walmart the day before and Dewey picked out this ribbon that said Birthday Boy.  He wanted to wear it all day, so people would know that it was his Birthday.

He chose to eat at El Mirador and was really embarrased when they sang to him.

Dewey didn't want a cake.  He requested cupcakes and root beer floats.  Dewey is a pretty cool kid and we are glad he is ours!

Spring Break

The kids decided to have a sleep over every night during spring break.  Dewey got a new helmet for his Birthday and when I went to check on them, this is what I found.

Picnic on the tramp.

Girls Ski Trip

Starting out on the trail at Harriman Park.

 



Shaylee and Hallie had a fun time and kept right up with the older girls.

Photo bomb!

We had to laugh at Cassie for a little while before anyone helped her up.  Maybe she shouldn't have bombed my photo.  :)

Eating our lunch in the warming hut.

Fun trip with the girls!!

Cross Country Skiing with the little boys

The last Saturday in February, we decided to go cross country skiing with Will, Kathy, Sayer, and Aeden.  I was a little nervous because we had never been with our kids before and we were a little scared of the outcome.  We actually had a lot of fun and the kids did really well.

Sean and I took turns pulling Hank.

We stopped at a cabin to eat our lunches.

There were a few hills that the little boys struggled with.

Kathy gave us something to laugh about.  :)

Hank fell asleep for a while.

We stopped at a little warming hut to warm up and have a snack.

We ended up going 7 miles that day.  The little boys did awesome and I can't believe they went that far.

Piano Recital

 Hallie has many piano recitals throughout the year.  For this one, she had to accompany someone.  Her and Gracie played My Country Tis of Thee.  They ended up doing really well and it was a lot of fun to watch.

You would never guess that they are the same age.  :)
