Our Growing Family: He is Risen!

Easter means new life and at our house means new toys too! The kids got some great loot from that Easter Bunny, or as Kaid would say, "he's a tricky guy" (on in years past as she called him, the "rooster-bunny") He always makes such a mess when he comes and Easter grass and eggs are everywhere!

Kaid checking out her goods. Her favorite - a Leapster 2! Yay!

Kason got lots of potty things and his favorite - trains!

After driving back to HC, then going to chuch we went to grandma and pa's to celebrate Easter and baby McKenzie's first birthday!

She has grown so fast! We haven't gotten to see her as often as we did the other nieces and nephews when they were babies, so they grow even faster when you don't see them often!

Kason started crying out of the blue - only thing we could figure was that she was getting cake and he didn't have any.

So we gave the boy a cupcake! Crisis over!

Getting ready for their 3rd Easter egg hunt of the weekend. What a beautiful Easter day it was!

Kason, Kaid, AJ, McKenzie, Isaiah and Evanne

Who needs a basket?!

And I do believe I cought Kason giving Isaiah the "evil eye" hehe

Kevin's girlfriend and the newest to the group, Lisa and McKenzie.

It's been a while since a picture like this was taken! The family, minus the inlaws and grandkids. They were all supposed to look "tough." Evidently not everyone got the memo.

Kevin, Lu, Kirby, Randy, Paul, Kim

Mykeila, Missy

Now everyone is smiling.

Tough guys

They couldn't act for long... but now they all have their shades

Little birthday girl

And soon to be the newest addition to the clan. My guess is another boy, but we will see in about 10 weeks! (Aunt Kimmy thinks she's huge, but I still think she looks tiny and great for being 30 weeks!)

Heading to the woods for a walk with grandma... notice my kids keeping a very close eye on Ryot (Missy's new puppy)

Yep, then Kason freaks out!

Making sure that puppy is going away!

Daddy to the rescue

Uncle Chad went down to the creek and found some tiny Salamanders! Kason wants to see.

Then wants to hold it! What's wrong with this kid?

Kaid wants to see, then when asked if she wanted to hold it said, "uh no! That's ok" Aunt Lisa takes a peek also.

After a fun afternoon outside we headed to Mimi and Pop's for some more food and fun.

Kason didn't eat much other than a cupcake for lunch, so he was hungry and grabbed a bun. hmmm... what is that in his nose? Bread of course, what else would be inside a nose? Ewwww

Our family

Then onto the kids 4th Easter egg hung. Mimi hid 112 eggs and the kids had a blast trying to find them all. Kason cracked me up - he was going around getting all of the ball colored easter eggs and solid easter eggs. I pointed 3 more out to him. He picked up the soccer ball and put it in his basket, then picked up the cupcake one, looked at it for a while, then threw it back down. Then picked up the flower one, looked at it a bit, then thew it back down and walked away to find some others. He's such a boy!
