Building a Bird House

It's finally getting nice out and the birds are looking very hungry so we thought it was about time we build the bird feeder Matt got for Christmas. He did a great job (with a little help from Daddy). Unfortunately, he doesn't want to put bird seed inside of it so right now it is sitting in the backyard empty...sorry birds, hopefully, Matt will let us fill it soon.

Thanks Grandma and Grandpa for our Easter treats!

Coloring Easter Eggs

The kids thought coloring Easter eggs was pretty fun. I didn't realize how much Matt liked hard boiled eggs...there are only two left and it is only Tuesday! We had to make sure we made one for each member of the family, including Pumpkin! I hope the colors aren't permanent because Julia dumped the pink cup on Lilly...the picture doesn't show it very well, but the side of her face is a little stained.

Cousin William's Birthday

Happy 3rd Birthday to William! I'm not sure what Matt liked more...the cake or ringing the train whistle at the bar. The restaurant was pretty cool because the train goes right by while you are eating. Of course, the boys thought that was pretty cool. Julia obviously liked the cake too, but she also had to take quite a few walks all over the restaurant to check things out.

Easter Pictures

We heard they were having free pictures with the Easter Bunny at Walmart. We got the kids dressed up and ready...turns out the Easter Bunny was just a cardboard cutout. Oh well, Julia might not have smiled if it were a real bunny.

Easter Egg Hunt

Even though it was cold and windy, we took the kids to a local Easter Egg Hunt. Each of them got 8 eggs filled with candy. In a few weeks, they'll go to the dentist...hopefully, she won't notice they have had a lot of candy lately.

Soccer

Matt wanted to try playing soccer so for the next 6 weeks, he will be giving it a try. Mommy was out of town for his first lesson, but it sounds like he likes playing (as long as he wins).

Finally, we can play outside

Daddy and Matt had the kite flying pretty high. Julia didn't show interest in the kite, but she likes to ride her toys.

Sword Fight

Julia is going to be a tomboy...Matt is teaching her how to fight already.

One of those too cute moments.

"Worlds Largest" animals

Thumper Pond Continued

Thumper Pond

We took a little trip to Thumper Pond Resort in Otter Tail and had a blast at the pool and driving around to all the worlds largest animals. Some we couldn't get to but that's alright. The puppies and Mom and Dad are happy to be home but the kids wish we were still swimming.

Books and Bed time

Matt trying to read Julia a story (or ten) before bed time.

Yea...

I am eating it, so what?

Picnic Lunch.

Just chilling out being good.

Balloons and Static

Always make for a cute picture.

Camp out in the living room

We had a camp out in the living room and it seemed to last well into the following day...

I like my watermelon!
