We got our last blast of snow at the end of April this year. Between 2-3 ft of snow! The kids had a blast playing out there all day!

Brandon built the kids an igloo/fort

Easter Sunday

Here's the line up: Lexie, Jackson, Claire and Chloe -it proved impossible to get them to look at the camera all at the same time... they were just way too excited!

Our ward had an easter party the saturday before easter. The kids had a blast. The got their faces painted and each were allowed to find 10 eggs.

Jackson and Lily... I think Lily might be guarding her basket

I caught up with Lexie at the end. She didn't get to hunt for eggs. But her siblings made sure she got some.

Good friends

This is a picture of Chloe and Hunter at Chik Fil A. The last time we saw the Schmidt family. I would have more pictures of this last hurrah, however, my lovely daughters decided it would be funny to pick their noses in all the pictures... lovely.

The last few hours of Grandma's stay we spent at the park.

Here's Lexie sporting her new shades.

She's saying "Come back and visit us soon!" ;)

We decided to do spring soccer this year, it has been sooooo cold! In fact Usually Chloe is the only one that will go out and play. Claire told us yesterday that it was "Against Claire's Rules to play when it's too cold." I personally didn't know that Claire had a rule book. I would like to see it. New things are popping up all the time now from that rule book. Anyway, back to soccer, These are a few pics of the girls snuggling on the sidelines.

Lexie - amazingly patient through all of this

Claire and Chloe -one of the few moments Claire decided to break "Claire's Rules" and play.


You can recognize the girls by the awesome hats Grandma Sharon made for them. Chloe has a purple trim and Claire has a pink trim.

Jackson's sisters picked out his outfit...

Jackson's sisters helped him get ready for school today. They thought he looked very cute. Did I let him go to school like this? They worked so hard to do it all on their own... Guess? - Oh and yes his shirt is backwards.
