Happy Mother's Day!

Preschool Open House

 

After the circus, we met Grandpa and Grandma. Grandpa took Brenley home. Brody, Ryan, Grandma, and I went to Open House at the MLC preschool where Brody is registered to go this fall. Brody told Mrs. B his name, and we spent an hour looking around. He's pretty excited to go. The hard part will be waiting until fall!

Circus!

 

We took the kids to the circus this afternoon. They were good - Brenley even lasted the hour and a half! She said "Hi" and "bye" to every act. Brody's favorites were the elephants and the lions. Brody and I took an elephant ride, while Brenley rode a pony.

Claire's Party

 

Claire had her 6th birthday party at the Holiday Inn on Saturday. Lots of fun! Brody swam with a life jacket by himself for the first time. Looking forward to the pool up north. Brenley has been having some issues this weekend - teeth, we think. Anyway, she didn't get to go in the pool, and she was not happy about it! Happy birthday, Claire!

Play Place

 

Brody got this playset from Grandpa and Grandma for his birthday. It will get a lot of use if it ever stays nice enough outside! In the last picture Brody is doing what he considers his job - pushing Brenley down the slide. It takes her a while to get in position and sometimes he can't wait - he just kind of manhandles her over to the top and gives her a push!

Easter Fun

Easter started at home with an egg hunt and presents from the Easter Bunny. After church the kids got more presents from Grandma and Grandpa and Nate, Heidi and Henry. After presents they had another egg hunt at grandma's.

We then headed to Gaylord where the one and only Easter Bunny graced us with his presence! Much to my surprise, the children were not terrified of him!

And of course, this little girl cried when the Easter Bunny left!

Another Easter egg hunt

Easter isn't complete without a pinata: )

And kite flying!

Cousin Beth is home from Switzerland so we took a few photos.

 

 

Easter Photo Shoot

 

As usual, things don't go the best when you are trying to take pictures of your own kids! Dark, dreary days don't help either! We did get a few, and Brody did some 3 year ones which Grandma promises to edit when she has time!! Happy Easter Everyone!

 

The only one of Bren with her headband. We are trying to grow those bangs, but she won't leave cute things in her hair:(.

 

She does better when she can't get up and leave!
