Easter Photo shoot

Three cuties..

I love Lucy's new "cheese" face...

This isn't really an easter picture, but i thought it was pretty funny!!! Lucy could be the next annie oakley!!

Egg hunt

We had a fun easter egg hunt! Lots of fun things around here to hide eggs in: 4wheeler, plow truck, grater, etc....the kids are good hunters, we'll have to make it harder next year!! hopefully these pics are big enough so you can see them! :)

I thought the chickens were helarious.....they watched the kids EVERY move....i think they thought those eggs were theirs!! :)

On a totally un-related note....here's our meat chickens!! Look how big they're getting....They are getting pretty beefy so fast!! They'll be ready for the freezer end of may.....

Carrots!

Lucy would not eat vegetables for a while now...

But thanks to Macy's new food....Lucy has found a revived love for carrots!

Doesn't matter that they come out of a jar......whatever.....if she'll eat them, we'll supply them!!

jealousy comes in handy sometimes :)

Macy loves them too!


This is the typical scene at meal times....two babies

Double the mess....

Double the smiles and fun though!!

Skiing

On spring break Scott took Lane up to 49 degrees N for his first skiing trip!! Lane LOVED it!! Scott said he did pretty good job and wanted to go by himself, kamakazi down the hill :) That's my boy...

This was the only picture i got from them....none on the hill!!! oh well....next year

Watch out world!

My new toy!!!!! Walks will be so much more enjoyable now that I can strap the girls in, and lane's on his bike!!

This is the sweetest jogging stroller i've ever seen!

Look what I can do!

LOOK!!!!

I know this is a horrible picture but it's the best i got!!

Lane taught himself to ride a bike with NO training wheels!!!! Awesome! He's alreay made it around the lake on our family walk once!! we are so proud of him....

Here he is modeling his "dirtbiking" stuff. His "dirtbike" still has training wheels because it's a little harder to ride than the little bike.

usually he has his cape on too.....must have forgotten it this day

Big Bubbles

Check out these sweet bubbles!!!

I found this idea for a bubble maker in my favorite magazine: Family Fun

It took a while to get the hang of it, but once you did, the bubbles were huge!

all you need is two dowell rods ( or sticks would work, i bet)

Wrap some yarn around the edge, then two pieces of yarn between the sticks and there you go!

So Fun!! we're going to make some more to have around!

intruders

a couple mornings ago we woke up an saw turkeys in our back yard

meet Tom.....the leader of the harem here's the girls.....eating.my.GRASS.

Tom again.. he was cracking me up strutting around

Lucy thought they were prettty cool.....

they are pretty funny....you can talk to them if you gobble out the window....they will gobble back....it's good times.....but i swear if they keep eating my grass......they're going to be dinner soon

who needs a pocket...

when you have a beard like this??

it takes a special kinda guy to be able to pull off a crochet hook AND a decking screw......:) hee hee

4 year photo shoot

Well i attempted a photo shoot with lane....I say attempted becuase out of 150 photos...there was maybe 10 good ones. :) I'm still learning my camera...so some are a little blurry because i was doing "machine gun shooting" do to the inability of the subject to sit still :)

Oh the magic of a tootsie roll.....got him to get thru the photo shoot...i forgot to wipe it off his mouth though :) Ooops

total lane face right here....laughing :) Cutie....did i mention that he sounds like thumper from bambi when he giggles???? I Love it

scott jr right here. I think i have a pic of little scott in this exact same pose and face :)

must have been bright out thru the clouds cuz....he was squinting alot

well there's a few :) My little guy is growing up!!! we love you Lane!!

birthday party!

lane is officially 4!!!

he requested a dinosaur cake....

here's what he got :)

Lane with his cake, and some friends

It's amazing what a year can do to a kid. He's changed SO much since his last birthday!! He's soooo tall now, people can't believe he's just now 4. He's a wild little boy, who loves to pretend, use tools, fight "bad"guys with his swords, and wrestle. He is a good big brother (most days) and is really sweet to baby macy. He's quick to say "i love you" and gives lots of hugs. He's a sensitive little guy with a rough and tumble exterior. I love my little Lane, and the fun spirit he brings to our lives!!!
