Easter - 384th Egg Hunt

Our squadron hosts a egg hunt for the kids every year. Rachel really enjoyed it this year. She went to town collected the eggs. We had to tell her to back off a little so some of the smaller kids could get a chance.

Here she's posing with her haul of eggs.

Collecting some more

She's so busy its hard to ever get a shot of her looking at the camera. But here's her and Isaiah.

Ruth posing with Rachel's basket. We had to do this fast because Rachel was afraid Ruth was going to steal all her eggs and candy.

Ruth touched an egg, so Rachel was telling her to get her hands off.

Amanda's 30th Birthday

Ugh, well, I hit the big 3-0. I wasn't looking forward to leaving my 20's, but did want to celebrate. Isaiah and the kids got me some great gifts, some picture frames, and Isaiah booked us a cruise in May for 5 days to the carribbean. I can't wait!

My fantastic cake that Isaiah did the writing on.

Me and girls posing before I go out with friends.

Yay! What a great, wonderful group of beautiful and fanstastic ladies that took time out of their super busy lives to come and celebrate with me. Thank you so much for making my night special!

Yum! My birthday dessert! We all shared several rounds and there was still food left.

Happy St. Patrick's Day

I hosted a party for our squadron playgroup with a St. Patrick's Day theme. Here are some pictures from the party and then of the girls actually on St. Patrick's Day.

One of the crafts we made

Happy St. Patty's Day - I can never get a good one of both. This one Ruth has a fantastic smile, but Rachel's not looking.

This one is pretty good, but Ruth has her fingers in her mouth.

 

More Snow Fun

We've had our share of snow fun this year. Here are some pictures from the snow storm where we took Rachel sledding and built a snowman.

Aftermath of the snow storm

Well early this morning we had a really cool phenomenon - Thunder snow. It was dumping snow and lightening and thundering out. We got close to 12 inches!

Here's the backyard

Front yard, Isaiah's truck is in the driveway

Oh no, where's a Woo to go potty?

Daddy had to shovel him some place to go.

Here's me taking a break from shoveling snow

2nd Snow Day

Well we got our second snow day for this winter. It was a few inches, but alot of fun.

My neighbor's kids playing with Rachel in the snow fort Isaiah built. The funny thing about this is, he starts building the fort before shoveling the driveway or sidewalks. Kid at heart!

Little Miss Ruth enjoying the snow

This is cold, mom.

Happy snow day!

Happy Valentine's Day

Happy Valentine's Day everyone! I didn't go all out, but did decide to buy each of the girls a little something and the bag in the middle was a little something for the big kid in the house :)
