End of April pics

It's hard to believe that April is just about over. This month went by really fast. Before we know it, summer will be here! The kids have been busy playing outside when the weather cooperates and Heidi is just about crawling now. It has been tough having so much rain this year because the kids get a little nuts when they are stuck inside too much! We are trying to figure out our plans for the summer to fill up all our free time.

My nephew Barrett's baptism. The happy parents and Godparents. They picked me as his Godmother and I was thrilled to have the honor!

Family photo of us all dressed up. I'm probably biased but I think I have a beautiful family.

Heidi Jean is 6 months old today!

Heidi Jean is 6 months old today! She is rolling all around the floor, trying to crawl, and working on sitting up for long periods of time. Heidi is really such a sweet and easy baby, always smiling, always happy. Heidi's really tall for her age and is already wearing 9 to 12 month sized clothing! She is growing up way too fast for me!

Hey nothing beats playing in an empty Huggies box!

Heidi Jean's first Easter!

Yesterday was Heidi's first Easter. We got a slow start to the day because the kids actually slept in. Then they had to go through all the stuff the Easter bunny left in their baskets. Once we were all dressed up and ready to go we headed to Michael's grandmother's house in Balboa. The weather was beautiful! After that we headed to my grandparents house in Huntington Beach to celebrate with my family. It was a very fun and busy day. The kids are still exhausted today!

Heidi and my nephew Barrett (his first Easter too!)

My grandparents had an egg hunt for all the kids. Bobby wasn't too interested but Lilly sure was! Showing off all the eggs she found with my dad during the egg hunt.

Look how many I found!

Bobby got another basket from my parents

Lilly was thrilled when she found out the Easter bunny had been to Nana and Dat's too! Another basket to open!

Nana, Dat, and the kids

Michael's grandma Norma, Michael, and the kids (this was at the end of our visit there and the kids did NOT want to take any more pics)

The kids found the rocks around great-grandma Norma's house really neat

Lilly and Mommy on Michael's grandmother's dock in Balboa

Lilly loved waving at the passing boats

Bobby eating a lollypop.

Still working on that lollypop. It took him about half an hour to finish it.

Michael and I attempted to get pictures of the kids all dressed up for Easter. We took these just before we left the house to spend the day with our families. Here are our best shots!

Heidi and Bobby playing with his new racetrack

Bobby's new racetrack from the bunny!

Once Lilly went thru everything in her basket and Heidi's it looked like a bomb went off in our living room!

The kids tore into everything the Easter bunny left!

Lilly dug right into her basket!

Look how neat and tidy everything was that the Easter bunny left for the kids. I took this pic before anyone was awake.
