Picnic with Dad

Today we picked Brent up for a lunch break at the park.  I took some fun pictures while we were there.  Everyone had a good time and the kids especially enjoyed having Brent there to play with them.

 Cuteness!!!!

 She was excited I was taking her picture.

 Haley and Sarah Kathryn were playing on the slide.

 Brent asked Joseph if he could climb this ladder.  Joseph said, "I can do it!  I'm not scared!"

 She's not doing anything exciting, but this is about all she does.  You can tell she's growing.

 Emily told me her hair was sticky.  I told her it's called sweat.  She better get used to it.  It was 85 degrees today and it's only April.

 Joseph humored me and let me take these pictures of him in the tunnel even though he was "ready to go home."

 Haley has always been a monkey.

Happy Easter!

It was not a Happy Easter this year!  Easter morning I woke up with a 102.5 degree fever ( I later learned I have pneumonia) and Joseph and Allie woke up with the roto virus, and a nasty case of it.  So, we missed church, missed the easter egg hunt and the family dinner.  Brent missed the next two days of work taking care of us and we had to send Rachel off to stay with grandparents because the roto virus is so dangerous for infants.  Then we spent 3 days scrubbing down the house and suburban to get rid of all the germs before Rachel came home.  We had our easter egg hunt a week late but I think the kids enjoyed it just as much.  Who doesn't love finding hidden candy in their yard?

 She's still our little pixie!

 Sarah Kathryn didn't find many eggs because she was too busy eating the candy out of the first egg she found.

 Haley and Allie are nice enough to leave the easy finds for the little kids.  They're such good sisters.  They also shared their candy.

 Everything is so exciting at Sarah Kathryn's age.

 Sometimes I forget that Allie is only 6.  She still gets excited about simple things.  I love it!

 Joseph is sharing.

 I think Sarah Kathryn stole someone's egg.
