Easter Traditions!

Of course you can't have Easter without dyeing eggs! Every year gets better and better as Wyatt gets more into it and actually understands how to do it. This year he was able to do most of it himself, and there were no spills and only 1 casualty :-) Happy Easter everyone! I hope it's one of many blessings!

Allie, not so into it. She was much more interested in her snacks...not shocking :-) She just wanted to throw the eggs on the ground. Shake, shake, shake...shaking glitter onto an egg!

Uh, Oh! The 1 casualty!

Finished product...Not bad, eh?!

A Glimpse Into Allie's Cute, Sweet, AND Bratty (at times) Personality! ~Don't forget to pause the music first~

Insane in the Membrane!!!!!

Since the weather hasn't been so great lately, we've been forced to spend way too much time indoors! We've been so used to spending our days outdoors, it was a little difficult keeping the kids entertained, and me sane! Thank the Lord the sun was shining and the breeze was light yesterday and we were able to get a short hike in and some time at the park. Below are a few pics of the days we spent inside. BTW, don't be jealous of all the plywood in the background :-) Ha ha!

Dress up day...Wyatt as Spiderman! Nice smile :-) I told him to NOT smile for this one!

Allie is truly our "goofy" child. She kept insisting on putting all of these items on for her 'dress up' day! I think she was going for the Cowgirl Karate Kid going to school look?????


Peek-a-Boo!

Dangerous Dude... Diva!

Wyatt wanted to take a picture of his cars. He did a pretty good job, I think!

The Oregon Coast 2009-2010

Luke and Allie

Wyatt trying to keep up with Mo Mo

These two were a little unsure of the ocean at times. I think it had to do with the "Sneaker Wave" warnings, that are a true, frequent occurance in the area we were staying, that kept us all on our toes. They would get close to the ocean's edge and then run back up onto the beach yelling, "sneaker wave!" Trying to be like the big boys...AND girls!

My attempt at getting a picture of the raccoons we loured in every night...shhhh, don't tell. The kids absolutely loved it. They would sit at the sliding door (with me, Nade, and Stef) with all the lights off, while the dumb dads and uncle would go outside and feed the raccoons...even fed them out of their hands (not smart). Gavin kept saying, "It's like we have our own zoo!"

Kodak moment with Mo Mo and Papa!

Wy Wy silly boy! The Fab Fam

Wyatt loved climbing on the big rocks

Bubblegum ice cream...YUM! Always a hit!
