Backyard Egg Hunt

Here are the photos from the backyard!

The Egg Hunt

This morning we got the kids together for the first annual Ray's Supermarket Egg Hunt. The kids were filled with anticipation as we met the Easter Bunny, granted he was a little frightening and actually couldn't speak a word, but all Kennedi could talk about was the "bunny, bunny, bunny"! After this we hereded the kids over to the holding pen they called the "waiting zone" for the egg hunt. The flyer they sent home with the kids advertising the egg hunt promised hundreds of eggs and lots of "cool prizes". The picture above shows just how many eggs the kids got...incase you couldn't count that high they all came home with 1 egg, and as Jackson so kindly informed us, "This egg is so dumb it doesn't even have candy in it."(The egg was filled with egg shaped erasers). Needless to say the kids weren't overly thrilled with the local egg hunt so we decided to come home and have our own. We threw together a few eggs invited a few neighbor friends over and had one of the best easter egg hunts we have ever had! We hope you all had a wonderful day and we want to wish you all a happy easter!

My Artist

I just ran across these photos and even though this happened a few weeks ago I have to share. I had gotten up Sunday morning to work on church stuff and send a few emails when I heard a cute little voice announce they had just "colored Kelton and Jacksie", much to my surprise Kennedi took my hand and led me to the boys door where she colored a beautiful picture with a red crayon. Thank heavens for Mr. Clean Magic Erasers, I don't know if potential buyers would appreciate her art work as much as we do!

STAR WARS

We woke up today to find that we had been attacked by Darth Vader. The boys went to a birthday party on Saturday and came home fully-clad in star wars gear. Jackson has been wearing it constantly and even wondered if it would be okay to wear to church. We tried to remind him he wouldn't be able to "eat the bread" with the mask on. Nothing to exciting in our life right now, we are currenlty STILL trying to sell our home. So....if any one of you know someone trying to buy a home in North Albany Oregon, we can get them a fabulous deal on a great house. May the force be with you!!!!

P.S.

I have just spent FOREVER trying to turn this picture the right way and for some unknown reason I can not get it to turn. So rather than delete this whole post, I am going to publish it as is and hope that my cute sister Andrea can walk me through this tomorrow before any of you read this.

PPS. Andrea just did it without you. I will teach you later, I thought I would fix it really quick while I had a second!

KIDS!!!

I wanted to give a little update on our three kids so I tried to include a little photo and give some info on what they are up to...

Kennedi just started her first dance class which is hilarious to watch because it is a room full of about 6 girls ages 2-3 aimlessly wandering around with a bean bag while they try to dance to music called "The Bean Bag Boogie". She loves every minute of it and can't wait to go each week.

Jacksons latest trend is to dress up like a superhero and as you can see from the picture he has gotten very creative with his costumes. He is currently using underwear for a spiderman mask and any kid of blanket for a cape.

Kelton is still as mellow as ever and was recently the "Special K" person in his kindergarten class. He is doing really well in school and told us he wishes he could ride the bus all day long!

We Finally Joined

Family and Friends after months of putting it off I decided to finally join the blogging crowd. I spent forever trying to come up with a catchy title and finally decided people really only want to see the pictures...so here is our Happy Family of Five!!!!
