Weekend

Here is a little video reel of our weekend!

Luke had his last gymnastics class for now (hence, the blow up slide), we had a cold t-ball practice where Paige could have cared less about the cold and just wanted to keep playing in the park, and yesterday we hit up a bounce house place near us.

Things done to occupy Paige during practice:

Goldfish!



Suckers!



Playing in the van!



And this little boy was so tired from playing outside Saturday morning, gymnastics, and then practice that he actually took a nap - even though he told me he was just going to rest :)



And both kids were sweating when we left the bounce house!

Go Brewers!

No we aren't changing MLB teams to root for, but we are cheering for the Brewers t-ball team this year!

Luke had his first practice a couple of weeks ago and their first game is a week away. 

No, really, he was excited for his first practice!



When we asked him back in February if he wanted to play t-ball he said no, he wanted to play golf,but...we signed him up anyways and I would have to say he is enjoying himself so far.



His coaches keep commenting on how he always has a smile on his face.  They are pretty much right!



I'll tell you what though...this little girl is a lot of work during his practices!



On this particular day she was the water girl!



Here is a little video of his first practice.  I am happy to report that he now knows where 1st base is :)

Things That Made Me Smile This Week

In a week full of devastation and heartbreak, there wasn't much to smile about.  However, my own little family and world gave me a lot to smile (and be thankful) about!

Seeing my sister find the perfect wedding dress!



Happy 9th Birthday Nala!



Watching these two little faces waving and blowing kisses to me after dropping them off at Punky's! (Luke has been doing this every morning for over a year now and Paige has just started joining him.  It's seriously the best!)



While Luke & Paige were playing cars together, I overheard Luke say, "Paige you don't have to yell.  I am playing with you.  Why are you so angry today?"  If you know Paige, you know that Luke speaks the truth!

These two things made me smile because they gave me relief from the terrible head cold that I had early in the week!



Two cute little tooshes watching cartoons together!



Chocolate chip cookies!



Luke asking my why I don't work out anymore.  I asked him if he wanted me to and he said yes - ha!  Nothing like a 4-year old to motivate you!

A tantrum-throwing almost 2-year old as soon as we walk in the door (Hey, if I can't smile or laugh, I'll cry!)



Daddy/daughter dance :)



Playing in the rain!





A silly sandwich eater!





































Bathing beauties!



Friday!



This wine was a dissapointment, but wine on a Friday night always makes me smile!



And now we are off for a day full of gymnastics, t-ball practice, cleaning, and SUNSHINE!

Easter 2013

We had a great Easter full of fun and ham and candy and easter egg hunts and gorgeous weather and family time and tired kids.

Here is our Easter in (lots of) pictures!

Looking for that Easter bunny!

 

They found their baskets at Grandma & Grandpa's!

There's that bunny!

As expected, Paige was not a fan, but she did cautiously take a present from the Big Bunny and happily said "Bye Bye"!








Luke, as always, had absolutely no issue with the Easter Bunny or any other character!





The Grandma's with the Bunny - Grandma's birthday was actually on Easter and Great Grandma's shortly after (or before - sorry - not sure).



Then it was time to for Luke and Paige to find the eggs!





Luke showed me that this one was for Paige since it was pink and left it for her - so sweet!

Then it was time to get fancy :)

I just noticed he only has one shoe on!







After church we headed back outside to take a few more pictures before we headed off to our next stop!

Cute family of 4 right there :)



Next stop - Great Grandma & Grandpa Swanson's for another Easter egg hunt!





Miss Fi getting so big!



Getting a little help from Papa!



And then a brief visit at The Kohr's where we got to meet the newest baby in the family - Eloise Kate!



And one final stop at Grammy & Papa's for some more baskets!



And silly bunny glasses!







Paige got a Minnie Mouse Boutique salon set so Luke was pretending to cut Paige's hair - scary!



And doing mine!



Paige was busy drying Fiona's hair :)





Standing all by herself! 



Look at those toofers!



These last pictures are terrible! Someday we will get a good one with Grammy & Papa-ha!







Two tired bunnies on the way home!



This little one wanted to stay awake once we got home, but she crashed very quickly!
