Eggs and Cake

It wouldn't be Easter without the eggs and bunny cake!

On Friday night, after the pizza was scarfed down the boys needed to burn some energy. Lee and Jim took the boys outside and before we knew it, it was Dads vs Kids. There was plastic water pistols, hiding in sheds, playing dead, and lots of laughter. They had a blast!

You know you are at Nana's when....

Ice cream follows dinner every night, the Gordons come to visit, and we can run up and down the sidewalks!

Dance Stop

We were so grateful that as we traveled place to place we had nice weather. On the way to my parents house we stopped at a rest stop. Once the kids ate some lunch we were going to let them run around in the grass but outside on the patio of the rest stop the music was blaring and Lindsey couldn't' help but dance. So right there on the PA Turnpike, we had our own dance party! It was so cute and at least 5 people stopped to watch!

See you soon!

It blows my mind to think that when I first met the Harchelroad family I was babysitting for their 4 year old, 2 year old and 9 month old. Now their oldest is about to graduate from high school. They are such a thoughtful, giving, fun, and wonderful family. We are blessed to have them as our "extended" family. I promised I wouldn't take pictures of Susan so here is one of Gabrielle (the youngest, now almost 15) and the kids.

The Zoo

Last year we had to do a quick trip through the Pittsburgh zoo. This year we took our time and had a blast. Lindsey and Jacob both loved, it is one of our favorite zoos!

The Children' s Museum Part II

Last summer when I took the kids to Pittsburgh we visited the Children's Museum. Jacob remembered it and asked on our way there to go back. Little did he know we planned on going there. They both had a blast. Lindsey did a toddler time play group with Susan and I while Lee and Jacob explored. We saved the water area for last, good thing we did. They both had to change in the car afterwards!
