Opening Gifts and Playing with New Toys is the BEST!

Birthday Gift

Alex and Aubrey having a great time with their gift from Ghatool and her family. Alex and Aubrey have spent a lot of time playing on it these last few days. In fact they ate dinner at it the other day.

3rd Birthday!

Celebrating Alex and Aubrey's 3rd Birthday on April 28th. Wow, they are 3 years old. It is hard to believe that they are already 3. It seems like just yesterday I was pregnant and they were born.

Blowing out their birthday candles.

(BTW....I goofed on the cake, I decided to get an ice cream cake at the store and then got stuck in traffic. I turned the AC on really high, but still it started to melt. We put it in the freezer when I got home, but it still was a little melted. Oh well, we all still liked it anyway. We are going to have another cake for each of them on Saturday with a few friends.)

Another use for Easter Baskets

It was such a beautiful day (actually it was a little hot) that we decided to pull out the sprinkler from Aunt Kendra. I would never have imagined using a sprinkler in April. Alex and Aubrey found a new use for their Easter baskets, too.

Easter Egg hunt in our Backyard

On Easter afternoon, we did a little hunt for eggs in our backyard. With all these egg hunts, Alex and Aubrey were getting the hang of it. The only thing was.....

....Aubrey thought that the pink and purple eggs were hers. : )

Easter Morning at Church

Here is our family picture on Easter morning. Wow are Alex and Aubrey growing up too fast.

Here is a picture taken before Alex and Aubrey started taking it apart.

Decorating Easter Eggs

Earlier in the day on Saturday, we had colored the eggs. Then Alex and Aubrey took baths while the eggs dried. After the baths, we decorated the eggs with stickers.

Our new playset

Playset is finished. Yeah! Alex likes playing on the climbing wall and Aubrey likes the swing and they both like the slide.



Great thanks to Dave and Jamison for all their work. I know Alex and Aubrey will have fun on it for years to come.

Fun with Jamison

Jamison was here for a week and Alex and Aubrey just loved him. They had fun playing with a big kid.

Trip to the zoo with Jamison

Today, it was such a beautiful day that we went to the zoo. Last time we went it was cold and much less crowded. But, nonetheless, we had a great time.

New Playset

We finally started building Alex and Aubrey's new playground. Here is a picture of them on it with it more than halfway done. We actually have it finished, but I guess I never took a picture of the finished product and it is dark outside right now. They love it. Dave built it with his son Jamison.
