The Birthday Continues...

Reese's dinner request...crepes! Then on to presents (lots of Legos) and up next was cake...

Orange Lego cake.

Reese was quite pleased to light his own candles this year!

We have a 7 year old!

Carsten got to celebrate his birthday with Opa, Oma, and Unc too.

Happy Birthday Reese!

Reese's birthday has begun with breakfast in bed! It is an extra special birthday as we are at Opa and Oma's...
Can't believe we have a 7 year old.

Spring Break!

Thanks for a fun Spring Break Opa and Oma! We had fun! (notice Carsten has dust all over his face, and the boys had already changed from nice clothes to 'traveling' clothes!)

Spring Break Minus the Spring Part...

The kids and I are spending Spring Break at Opa and Oma's... We keep looking for the spring part, but it is eluding us--pouring rain and windy.
We are partaking in the break part however. Two of the kids' favorite activities at Oma's--helping start fires and playing in the kitchen sink!

System has been down...

Well, my system has been down--a couple of weeks ago my computer gave up the ghost. It was a hand-me-down from my brother, which he graciously gave to me. I am now the proud owner of his next hand-me-down! :-) (and now I can update the blog...)

I was watching Justin and Clayton for the afternoon and allowed the older boys to go outside as it looked like the only sunny day in the forecast until early July...

It all started innocently, and then got muddy quite quickly! One guy would fall (supposedly accidentally) and then domino affect, they would all fall--giggling crazily the whole time.



A three boy bath followed.

Friday Night Fun Night Extreme

Usually the boys sleep in our room on Friday nights, but last night Jim set up our tent in the living room and all the boys had a camp in!

Excitement!

We woke up to snow this morning! It hardly ever snows here, so when it does we get very excited!!! We suited up and headed out before any could melt...

Watching the nephews, so we had to have a little fun...





And mom had to get in on it too, right? :)
(Also Reese's first picture with mommy's nice camera...)

Sleepover!

4 silly cousins...
Tomorrow is Auntie Alicia's birthday, so we have the boys for the night to give the parents "date night". Hope they enjoy themselves and don't worry about us too much!




These three were enjoying playing in the corner--looking at toy catalogs.
