Pictures, Pictures, Pictures!

 One day I will finally get my pictures organized again.  Today is not that day.  Here are more random pictures from the last few months.  These first pictures are from Easter.  We let the kids have free reign over making the bunny cake.  They really did it almost totally by themselves.  Look at Andrew's focused face.  He gets that from his daddy.  ;-)

 Not sure what was going on with my camera but many of these next pictures are dark.  Still cute though.

 Bring on the personality!

 CHEESE!!!!

 Josh about to blow out his candles.  ;-)

 When you're 29, you need help from your kids to get all that fire out.  Good thing we have some willing volunteers.

 You also need help opening your presents.  You just cannot do it by yourself.  Against the rules!

 I let Anna have her friends over for a living room picnic the other day.  She thought it was so fun.  And yes, my kids were still in jammies at lunch time.  But hey, they were alive!

 We recently purchased a tent!  We are so excited to take our kids camping.  Andrew and Josh are getting ready to go on the "Father's and Son's" camp out coming up.  Every time we mention it, Andrew is sure to remind us that Anna is NOT going!  He wants that to be very clear.  Poor little Anna for the life of her cannot understand why she can't go.

 My fun loving little goose.

 Best. Dad. Ever.  Anna got a pedicure from her hero.

Round Two

 Not sure how this happened but I just found a whole folder on my computer of pictures from when my sister-in-law and mom came to visit.  So, here's round two of our fun week.  Enjoy.

 We had a picnic by the fountains after the zoo and it was a hit.  We were lucky to have such a beautiful day.

 Playing in the sandbox.  Too captivated even to smile.

 When you're in St. Louis, you HAVE to see the arch.  Well, did we ever pick a cold day.  I thought it would be so fun to have a nice picnic under the arch before going inside.  Our picnic blankets turned into our only refuge from the cold.  I think we all turned into popsicles before ever going inside.

 Poor little Jacob.  Doesn't he look darling?

 The inner bear really came out in everyone.  ;-)

 Granny took my two kids up in the arch with Amanda and her boys while Daniel and I hung out in the basement.  Anna LOVED going up in the special little car.  Good memories!

 Beautiful!

 We tried getting the kids to do a jumping picture and they thought it was THE MOST FUN thing on the planet.  No one has ever had more fun jumping for a picture, EVER.

 Melts. My. Heart.

 Nice Jacob, nice.

I am ready for a revisit!  Did you hear that Amanda? Hurry back!
