Tulip Festival

Alex loves playing with the umbrella. Luckily we never needed it.
Pretty falls. You might ask why is Trinity not in the picture? Well she was tired and it was cold. So too bad not many pictures of Trinity.

Here is a good one but crying.

How cute! It was fun that they came with us. Matt and Laura got some good picture too.

Hee hee OF course we get good pictures of Alex in the tulips but not of Trinity.

Finally, asleep.

Pretty Pretty!

On your mark, get set, go! Somehow Alex always wins but not off the start.

Not a good pictures because too far away and the zoom isn't great but Maybe Matt and Laura got a good one.

Wresting in the grass. Gotta have some fun. This is a great place for bridal pictures besides the price.

Dinosaurs

Lately, it seems like we have been to a lot of dinosaurs. But somehow they never get old. I like this digging zone better than the other one even if the other one was more realistic. Alex even got to take his shoes off. Only one accident this trip.

Eaten by a shark.

Some of you might wonder what Alex is doing. But when daddy asked for you to sound like a dinosaur your face would look like this too. Trinity no so sure. She is very tired and the last thing she wants to to touch a dinosaur especially with silly noises for her brother.

Alex created a cool dinosaur with four ends. Tons of legs and everything else that is silly. The idea of this is great but the things don't stick anymore so we were being silly. This is at Thanksgiving point. We needed something to do indoors since in started to rain on us.

Yard Work

This is when it was terrible windy outside and wanted to try to get some work done. We did and she stayed pretty happy.

Alex helping put in the railroad ties. Oh wait he is in the way and not stuck in the hole.

WE got Trinity to love the dirt. Good thing because that is our yard!

Our Family

After about 8 months I finally get our pictures done. Thanks to Codie. We have tried before but not everyone is happy at the same time. If you have small children you know what I mean.
They love me!

oh how cute!

Stuff

Trinity loves to cuddle. Sleeping with Daddy after church.
Alex really loves the cards Granny Janney send us. This is a lottery ticket. A lot of time instead of holding the money that he gets he holds the card that Granny makes. Money isn't as pretty as the cards.

Just a cute picture. Trinity is crawling all over the place. She can pull herself up to stand but that is about it. Still a little wobbly on her legs. She is getting teeth so not a very happy baby. 10 months old and Alex will be three in a month. Time flies.

Bonus room

So we decided to start work on the bonus room. Grandpa Tom came out and helped. It was a good visit. This is how Alex helped by playing. For some reason he loved just wearing one shoe.
After a long weekend. He did this in about a day and half. He wanted to get it done while he had his dad's nail gun.
Oops! Grandpa Tom went through the floor. Luckily he was alright. The people who build the home just put a piece of wood there to nail the sheetrock to and Grandpa thought it was more sturdy. Luckily no one was hurt.

Easter

If there is snow on Easter why not make the best of it and make a snowman? Waking up to snow is not my favorite oh well. I hurried and made frogeye salad and then we headed out to play in the snow.

Making the bottom for our snow bunny. Alex wouldn't let us run over Grandma. But he got chased instead. Lots of mud. So our bunny became muddy.
Playing around. I was inside finding decorations.
The final product. How many people can say they built a snowman on Easter?

Then it warmed up enough that it toppled over. Oh well but soon to be that night more snow. Did I mention it is April and still snowing?

Dying Easter eggs. Alex wasn't so sure at the beginning but soon got the idea.

Allan and Laura thrilled with dying eggs.

Our master pieces. Kit was very creative and broke out the tape. After it was all said and done I should have brought the crayons out. We made all of them into devil eggs so we didn't get to enjoy them for every long. Just a side note we save the dy and use the water to take baths in. It makes for color baths. Second side note: I just found one egg still in the dy today. Yep Thursday four days later. It is well colored.

Alex checking out Grandma's cross stitch. Closely.

Grandma and Trinity crawling. She loved crawling with Donovan never got the chance to with Alex. But Trinity did.

Cute family!

The big posters we got from Grandma and Grandpa. Pretty cool.

Trinity in her pretty Easter dress. No hair thing. I only have one pick flower so I am working on it. Girls!

Specail pillow cases made by Grandma Sue. We love ours! It's fun to see what she comes up with.
