Easter in July

Somehow we posted about Easter egg coloring back in April, but completely missed these cute pictures from the Easter egg hunt. It was so much fun this year with all 5 grandkids joining in!

Determined Ben, racing off to find the next egg!



Jake finding eggs with Papa - including a really, really BIG one!


 

Yay Tommy!



Audrey and her basket full of eggs. 



Matt looking for more eggs.


 

Blueberry Eating... Er... Picking!

When Ben asked us how long it would be until 2013, and we asked why he wanted to know, his answer was "because then next year we can go blueberry picking." Thankfully we didn't miss it this year and were able to go yesterday morning.

There was much competition over who had the most blueberries in their bucket this year.


Our little blueberry goofball!


He quickly got the hang of picking the blueberries, but Jake was definitely "blueberry-eating" today.







Thanks Patti for going with us!

Vacation Wrap-Up

While the boys are happy to be home so they can play with their toys and see their friends again, they also miss vacation. Matthew really misses the 'kiddie' pool at the resort. We'll have to find a way to keep him swimming this summer!

Ben really misses the fun games Gammy invented, like going through a labrinth to get special super-hero powers!

They've got so many great memories - eating rattlesnake, playing in the pools, hiking in the desert, seeing a cowboy gunfight... It was a GREAT trip!

Jake Cuteness

Jake had some really cute moments on vacation :)

To start, the return of his crazy hair! ( I love this kid's hair!)
