Christian


I was going through the Easter pics tonight and came across this one of Christian. I love it! It is after the egg hunt and he has emptied his eggs into a bag. I am not sure why he has his book in his basket but it is so him. He always has a book out. Here he is surrounded by relatives and noise and he is content with his book.

Egg Hunting

Every year we say that we need to cut down the amount of eggs we hid. Over time most of the kids in the family are too "old" to hunt eggs. But with only 7 this year hunting, we still brought way too many. It is fun though. My sister Andrea bought the kids wax eggs that were filled with confetti. She then had her son Logan crack one on Randy's head. He waited hours to get her back, and you can see that she wasn't ready for it. What a fun day!












































Egg Decorating

After we got back from feeding the horses, it was egg decorating time. The twins only wanted to do one each, which was fine. The bigger kids did 2 I think. Then the mommies and Tisha did the rest. I had fun trying different styles.














Easter morning

Easter started nicely with the twins sleeping until 7:30 - Yea! Then we had to look at all of the Easter basket goodies.















During the morning, Tisha(my niece) needed to pick up her prom dress from her mom's house. So she suggested we take the kids so that they could meet her horses. I had never been there, so I was excited also.
Here they are looking at the ponies.

Feeding them some hay with Tisha and Becca

Christian petting Romeo, I think. It could be Juliet.

Their favorite part was feeding the bigger horses carrots.

Cottontail Days

On March 30th, we went to downtown Ventura for Cottontail Days. The boys had a great time. This is a picture of Maya (my one and only student teacher from years ago) with her son Aedan and me. Here is Christian going down one of those big slides he loves so.
Here is Alexander touching a snake.



And Sebastian with a lizard.

We have no egg hunting pics. because it was over so fast. It is hard to believe that the twins would come down with a stomach virus the next day that would last most of the next week. Poor guys!


First Penance


Christian made his First Confession on March 24. He did a great job and we were so proud of him. We are also very excited for his First Communion coming up in May.
