Mountain Biking...

Steve and the boys have found a new favorite hobby...

 They have really gotten into biking.

Zack saved up his money and bought his own.  

They are expensive!

 It's fun for them to have something to do together!

They seem to come back with scrapes and bruises every time they go...

That hasn't stopped them yet!

I love these boys of mine!

My Little Workers...

It was time for our play set to be stained again so Steve started it one night & of course the boys wanted to help.  I came out a few hours later because it was dark & this is what I found...

They were still working!  They added a few spotlights so they could see.

They almost finished it all!

I LOVE these guys!!

 I love that they are such great helpers!

They are happy while they work too...

 I asked Zack if he put on old  pants & he said, "Oh yea, they have a hole & they are above my ankles!"

As you can see in the picture above!  

 I actually think they did a better job painting than the "professionals" we hired on the house! :)

 It's amazing how quickly kids learn.

 It makes them feel good to accomplish something too.

They are definitely hired for next year!!

Happy Easter 2012

We had a wonderful Easter!

Saturday night, we dyed our Easter Eggs...

The kids always enjoy this part!Me...

Not S0 Much!

This happened twice & that lovely blue dye was inside all of those drawers!

So . Much . Fun!

On Easter Sunday, Our church started at 9:00am. We are not "early birds", so this took some planning the night before to try to get there on time.

The kids had to be ready for church before they could go down & find their Easter baskets.

Here they are all ready to go!

I took so many pictures...so I made a few collages!

Easter Morning...

We also Celebrated Birthdays...Sherry, Steve & Darlene!

We just had to reverse the numbers for Steve & Darlene...that would never happen again!

Since it was Sophie's First Easter, I had to add a few more pictures of her!

I love this girl!

Actually, I LOVE all of these kids...They are as cute as they get!

Happy Easter!!!
