Happy Easter

Hope everyone had a nice Easter. We had a very warm, sunny weekend (mid 80's). The neighborhood had an egg hunt - pictures below - and it was so warm all the candy melted in the eggs. Oh well! The kids had a blast!

Ryan hates the sun so he sat in my shadow.

Jess scored a ton of eggs on the playset!

After they collected their 15 eggs each.

Derby

Ryan with his derby car and trophy.

Yep - had to glue some weighted items on last minute so that it was heavy enough to race.

Some of the other cars. Check out the carrot car!!

The annual Boy Scouts Pinewood Derby was yesterday. Ryan did not place but still had a good time running & playing with friends! We had no idea that once you hand in the car friday evening that the boys didn't touch the cars again until it was over. So, instead of watching cars go down the track for 12 rounds (3 hours) Ry & buddies played DS and played outside. In the end his car did pretty well and we came home with a participant trophy. And Scott got some ideas on what to do for next years car - hmm, is this race for the boys or the dads! :-)

Snow

Some pics from SNOW DAY!!!!

Our neighbor attached his 4 wheeler to a tobaggon and pulled the kids all over the neighborhood. I think total he had 7 kids on the sled and one on the 4 wheeler with him!

Happy 7th Birthday Ryan James

Ryan turned 7 years old on January 4th. Wow - times flies! It seems like he was just a baby last year! Here are some shots from his family birthday party this past weekend.

Yep, even at 7 he is still messy when he eats!

Happy Birthday to you!!!!
