I am finished for now!

WOW! After just posting about 5 posts I am done for now! I will keep up better from now on! That was just a little too much for one day. We are all fantastic here. We are actually roasting RIGHT NOW and the summer has not even begun!! Aaron and a buddy went golfing and the kids are sound asleep. I am off for now! Love to all ya'll!!

Uncle Jon's Baseball Game

We met up with Papa, Grandma and Uncle Jon to watch him pitch at his game.


Uncle Jon is the youngest of the family.


Savannah insisting on sticking her fingers threw the fence

After the game we went to a fabulous restaurant on the water, that Grandma grew up eating at.




Papa, Jonathan and Aaron


Savannah perfecting her coloring skills


AHHH....


The next Ninja Warrior



Sweet babies!


So this is the next ninja warrior! He started doing this just two days ago! We just need to have a few more children and we can have our own stunt team.


Easter Day

We started our Easter Morning off with a traditional Family easter egg hunt around the house. They used the eggs we dyed the previous night and hid them.


Thank you Grandma and Papa for the wonderful baskets with lots of goodies!






We enjoyed the stylings of Avery and Savannah on baby grand, while getting ready for church.





Thanks to Daniel we have some amazing family photos of Easter!




Great Grandma C. and Grandma with the kids!

GRRR...

Easter Egg Hunt

We went to Aaron's family's home for Easter weekend. Their church was having an Easter egg hunt that Saturday and the kids had SO much fun!


Thank you to Lori for this pre-Easter dress! (this is a 6-9 month dress, but she is small, and I think the dress was made a little big)




The kids all gathered around to here the brief sermon of Easter and the rules for the egg hunt. The pastor asked if anyone needed a bag to collect eggs in, and Avery stood up with his basket and said "I HAVE A EASTER EGG BASGET!, CAN I HAVE A BAG TOO?" He really is going to be a jokester and an acrobat!
(by the way I didn't spell basket wrong, that is what he said ;)



Avery collected more than the limited 12, so he started giving his eggs away to a sweet little girl that only had a few. Praise God for those little glimpses that our work as parents in teaching our children how to serve is working!





Our children really get down and dirty when it comes to.... well actually anything they do! LOL!



Grandma helping the kids color eggs! Savannah loved to color. We never thought until now to even LET her color.

Our New Play Set


Aaron and Danny figuring out/labeling all the parts first!


Savannah and "baby bear" helping out



I set up the slide on a chair so at least they could have a little taste of the fun to come.
Again Avery was ninja warrior on his own obstacle course.




fixing up the rock wall/stairs


Danny was so kind to come over on a Saturday and help Aaron out with this project!
Thank you also to Rhema for letting us borrow her husband's building expertise!

This is a couple days later, but it had just got done pouring COLD rain. The guys were dedicated and determined to get this done!


This is actually a week later, when the weather warmed up more, Avery loves to swing REALLY high. Seriously it scares me sometimes!

Savannah Belle and her own little swing!

Trip to the Park





We went to this FANTASTIC walking park. The kids had so much fun running and playing on the pit-stop exercise equipment. Avery pretended he was NINJA WARRIOR (it is a Japanese obstacle course show). We watch it as a family almost every night.
