9 years

Today Chris & I celebrate 9 years together. I am so grateful I married the man I did. He continues to amaze me, and I am blessed to have him as my husband and as the father to my children.

I Y Chris

brothers

sad boys

this one is throwing up...

this one got circumcised this morning...

Ok, this one isn't a boy, but she wanted to pose after I took the pics of her brothers...she's actually feeling great (knock on wood), and is a big help. She even caught some of Paul's puke in the bowl!

Easter

We had a great Easter this year! Saturday we went down to my cousin Wendy's house and had a fun easter egg hunt in her backyard (along with good company and yummy hoagies). The kids had a blast hunting for eggs, and it's a good thing because Easter Sunday was rain, rain, rain so the bunny couldn't hide the eggs outside.
We had a little candy hunt in the living room first thing Sunday morning. Grandma & Grandpa brought over yummy fixings for our Easter dinner, which was so sweet (and yummy)! The kids went on a hunt for their Easter baskets (one in the closet, dryer, and kitchen cabinet...silly bunny!) We also got some good pics of Ian in his Griffey jersey Grandma found at the M's store. (Chris is loving living in WA for the Mariner's season, but holy cow, baseball is like every night!)

Easter Eggs

Here's the egg artists with their creations

And here's Paul, after eating his pink truck egg, yum!

and here's a pic of Ian, with his eyes open (I think he's a little worried he might roll out of sisters arms!)

Ian James

Here's some photos I took of the baby. He is such a good boy. We are loving having him in our home!
