Cousin Time

Last Friday West and I got to hang out with Mace, Silas, and Atticus while Natalie had an appointment.  It was such a fun morning!  Just wish Titus could have been here too!

Taking turns pushing each other on the tractor.

Action shot of all four.  Pure chaos - and I wouldn't have it any other way!

Hey there happy boy!  (who appears to be hitting his twin bro in the head with a golf club?? haha)

These two are so stinkin' adorable!!

Macer.

Silas.

Atticus.  This was the best I could get from him at this point.  ;)

And here's a pic of all 5 from a couple weeks ago.  Maybe someday we can get one where they all look happy... and one of them doesn't have a truck in his mouth.  Maybe.

Project 365: Week 14

Day 93:  This boy loves wearing socks on his hands for some strange reason.  Seriously, after almost every nap his has taken his socks off his feet and put them on his hands.  He'll leave them there for hours and even try to eat food with them on (that's where we draw the line, of course!).  And no, our house isn't exceptionally cold and his hands don't feel cold to the touch, so I don't think it's because his hands are freezing or some logical explanation like that.  

 Day 94:  Lunch with Dad at the park.  

Day 95:  Dinner with the McKims.  Can you spot all 5 cousins in this pic??

 Day 96:  Saturday morning dance party in the kitchen after baking some muffins.

Day 98:  Great Grandma and Grandpa stopped by for a short visit!  This was the best pic we could get (cracker in his mouth and all) because that boy just wanted to get down and play and show off some more!

Easter Sunday

We had an awesome day celebrating our risen Savior.  

When we got up, we read the story of Jesus' resurrection and West opened his Easter "basket."  This year his basket ended up being a backpack - much more practical since he needed something smaller than the diaper bag for the new older class he's in at church.  He also got his first matchbox cars and a new Bible. 

Next we ate some cinnamon rolls (picture is courtesy of our tripod - Brad told me other day that it's weird when I put tripod pics on the blog because it looks like somebody else was in our house taking the pics- haha).  I had to rush on out after breakfast to teach the toddler class at church during the first service (I do this every other month), and then Brad and West met me there and we went to church together for the second service.

 We took some more pics with the tripod after church.

Then we went inside, ate lunch, and put West down for a nap.  My dad, brother, and sister got here around 3:30 and when West woke up we headed outside to dye Easter eggs.  West wasn't too sure about it at first, but then dove right in and love it!

After the egg-dyeing we grilled out hamburgers and hotdogs and then hid the eggs for West to find on his first official egg hunt.  (Ok, more like we rolled them out into the yard in very conspicuous places.)

He was a little pro.  Next year we'll have to find some better hiding places (which will be tough in our bare yard!!).

We finished up the day with some more family pics.

Great day all around!!
