Easter Weekend

So far April has been very cold in comparison to our January and February! So here is two little men watching one of our rainy spring days. But we still managed to enjoy our Easter weekend. This year we did decided to do the neighborhood hunt. It was so fun and Keagan was much more into it than I expected. It was very serious business.

Here are my 3 guys trying to stay warm, waiting for Gavin's turn to hunt eggs.

And they are off.......

Lots of goodies in those eggs!

Easter morning with their little lambs. Thank you Lord for the Lamb that was slain so that we could know our creator and be called children of God.

Trying to get a brother pic in our Easter Sunday best....but I am just not good at catching them.

Little Cord brought his family over for Easter lunch. Sweet little boy - 18 weeks old.

Zachary Roberts on the hunt with the Boeger boys.

We really had a nice Easter - Auntie Rara was here, and our friends the Roberts. Church was packed out. It always makes my heart happy to see so many people coming to hear the message of hope. We also headed over to our friends, the Davidsons, for dessert that evening. 5 families with 2 kids each. It was a wild time and fun was had by all. I am thankful for the family and friends that God has give us!

Boys Camping Trip

While we were in Texas the daddies and the bigger boys went camping for a night. I think fun was had by all! It definately looks like they got to camp in a very pretty place.

Daddy and Gavin fishing....I heard that Gavin absolutely LOVED fishing...he stayed a half hour longer than everyone else.

Eating fire cooked hot dogs. Every little boy's dream.

The picnic table that was at their campsite had this carved in the table when they got there. I thought it was cute that Aaron took a picture.

Fun with Friends in Texas!!!!

We had such a wonderful time in Texas visiting friends. The Thorntons welcomed a crazy crew into their house - us and the Carpenter family. One night there were 13 of us sleeping under one roof. It was quite the party. Such a good time of catching up, shopping, camping, eating way too much sugar & just having fun being together!

The Thorntons' new little addition...Trigger....8 weeks old.

Friends...together again!

Yum Yum Waffles!!!

And the Carpenter Crew arrives!

Sweet baby Cason.....

Cason and Keagan...little buddies watching the "putty" outside.

Four funny faces!

A trip to Cabella's to see the "frozen" animals.

Then the 3 daddies braved a night camping with the 4 biggest boys. Great memory maker for our kiddos!

And the 3 mommies stayed with Emma and the babies - where we did lots of shopping! Along with some scotcheroos and cadburry treats to finish out the night! And here are the littlest of the bunch doing some silly bonding!

Sam and Ann

Sam went to California with his girlfriend, Ann. He will return to Missouri with his fiance, Ann! YES! He proposed to her on the beach on Saturday night! Welcome to the family Ann. Can't wait to meet you!

St Patty's Day Dash, Seattle

Right after Christmas a friend of mine mentioned to me that she was going to enter in the St Patty's Day Dash and she told me about a website which basically gave you the guildlines to go from couch to 5k in 8 weeks. And I was definately at the couch level in running abilities. It had been...oh....about 5 1/2 years since I laced up my running shoes up for an actual run. My level of intensity in exercise was about equivelant to a brisk walk to the park. But, hey! I decided I was up for the challenge. I was blessed to have 2 other people in my life who decided to do this run with me. During the week I ran twice with Melissa...and then once on the weekends with Alexis. I have to say it was so much fun to see that we could actually make progress and a couple weeks before the run we were all able to make the 3.8 miles that would be required from us on the race day.

So here are some pics of our big day. For some, this may seem like a small accomplishment, but it was pretty exciting for us. Our only goal was to actually run the whole thing....and we did it!

Hmmmm.....now to figure out which race is next =0)!!!!

Ava Joy Haney

My sister Sherry had her baby today! Yay. Meet sweet Ava Joy! 5 lbs, 14 oz. 18 inches. She came by way of c-section and only about 10 days early. She looks perfect to me!
