Lagoon

We were lucky enough to get some tickets to Lagoon from Michael's work.  We surprised the kids.  They had no idea where we were going.  The girls both screamed when we got there.  Clark didn't even know what Lagoon was.  Here are the pictures we took:

We learned very quickly that Clark was not a fan of the faster rides.  He would bury his head down the whole time.  This is him before the swing ride started :

This is him after the ride started:

We don't have any pictures of Nora and Lily on the fast rides, but they were very daring!  They went on all the rides that they were tall enough to go on and loved all of them!  

at work

Michael had to work today broadcasting at a golf course.  The kids and I decided to join him for a little while.  They each were able to practice their swing :)

flashlight egg hunt

I told the kids about doing an egg hunt in the dark using a flashlight.  They all loved the idea.  So, even though it was late and we were all tired, we had egg hunt in the dark.
Each kid had their own flashlight.  We hid a ton of eggs.  All of them were empty, the kids just wanted to have fun finding them.  They loved doing it this way.  It gave an extra twist this year.

Easter morning

We had a very laid back Easter. We had a small egg hunt and some small gifts.  Michael made us some waffles and then we just hung out until church started.  

The kids looked great in their outfits!  Pretty soon the girls will hate matching, but for now I enjoy having them match :)

egg hunt 2013

When we first moved here, this was our neighborhood egg hunt,

(a few of those kids didn't even live in our neighborhood).

In 2012, the egg hunt was a little bigger:

Not much bigger, but you can see a difference. 

Here is last weeks egg hunt:

This picture doesn't even have all the kids.  It was a huge Easter egg hunt.  

Our neighborhood is getting so big!  

Vegas Baby

I took the kids to Vegas for spring break.  It was just a few days, but a very memorable few days!

Michael was not able to join us due to work. 

I have a ton of pictures.  I wanted to keep Michael updated as much as possible, so I kept taking pictures for him.  Here are the pictures in order of what we did :)

 (Nora is pretending she is allergic to the flowers)

(Lily by the lilies)

(the long and winding road)

 (these are turtles at the park.  We thought they were statues and went to go touch them.  They went into the water.)

The End.  I told you I took a lot of pictures!
