Easter Bunny

Today we went to the mall and met the Easter Bunny. Bella did not cry which was a shock. They also got to ride the train, we had so much fun spending the day together.

Egg Coloring

Last weekend Emma, Bella, and Wyatt colored eggs at Grandma Kathy's house. All I can say is WHAT A Mess and WHAT WAS I THINKING!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Licking the bowl

Here is video of Emma and Bella licking the bowl after I made cupcakes. Roxy would not leave their side and got in a few licks when they were not looking!

Proud to be an American

Here is a video of Emma saying her pledge of allegiance she knows most of it and only forgets a couple words. She has not quite figured out the American flag every time we drive by one she says "hey my teacher has a flag like that!" I try and explain what it is but not sure she quite picks up on it yet.

Haley's Birthday

On St. Patricks day we dressed up in our green and went to Grandma Mary Ann's house to celebrate Haley's 10th birthday. Grandma made corned beef and cabbage and per Haley's request she made her homemade noodles. I brought green rolls and green Italian bread from Hy-vee and Grandma also made Ben's favorite 7-up jell-o. The day finally warmed up so they got the play outside. It was the perfect end to a great holiday.

It's a great day to be Irish!

On Wednesday we went to the St. Patricks day parade. It was about 50 degrees and cloudy, so a little cold standing for 45 min for it to start then another hour for the parade. We even left early the parade lasted 2 hours! Ben was able to come to the parade with us, although you can see in the pictures he forgot a coat.

Our new house!

Ben and I spent 5 hours building the girls a new play house today. They got this house for their birthdays, but since we have had such a long winter in the house we decided to give it to them early.
