Easter 2010

Not too much time to write this morning, but wanted to post some pics from the weekend. We had a fun weekend! Here are some pics below:

Although we didn't go anywhere special for Easter, I had the kids put on some 'nice' clothes for a few easter pics. I had wanted to get some professional pics done, but we didn't get a chance over the weekend, so hopefully we will do that soon.
Here's Lindsay!

Here's bot of the kiddos. Awe....

Here they are again...I love this picture!

Here are some pics from Easter morning. They had to find their baskets and all of the eggs...

With their loot:

Lindsay all ready with Tyler's slippers on to find her eggs!

Working on their baskets the night before...

Saturday morning was a lot of fun. Their friends had an Easter party for kids. They had an egg hunt, played games and we all had lunch. It was a very fun time!
Here's Tyler doing the bunny hop game:

The kids before the hunt...

Lindsay with her little friend McKenna:

Fun Weekend!

This weekend we had our Brambleton Easter Egg Hunt on Saturday morning. The kids were very excited, especially Lindsay, as she has been quite chatty and excited about the Easter Bunny coming this year. It was a bit chilly out, but still a great day for an easter egg hunt :)

Lindsay getting her eggs:

The highlight of the morning was watching Lindsay pet one of the baby bunnies. She sure loved the bunnies!

Petting the bunny again...check out that little smile on her :)

Tyler getting his eggs:

The best shot I could get of the two of them together:

On Sunday Trevor along with our neighbor, took Tyler to his first NHL game. They rode the metro (very exiting when you are 4 years old) into DC for the game. Tyler had a BLAST! He came home tonight and didn't stop talking all about the game and how badly he would like to take hockey lessons.....we are thinking about it! We reminded him that he needs to learn how to skate first and he claims that he knows how after seeing the hockey game :)
Trev & Tyler:

Cute pic!

Swimsuit Model??

Lindsay got all excited after her bath tonight to try on her new bathing suits for this Summer. One of her favorite things to do is go to the pool! She likes to say 'mommy, I am not scared of the water'. And she isn't! She's a little too confident with the water, but hopefully this year she will calm down a little..... :) She asks me EVERY day on the way home from school as we pass the pool 'mommy, the pool open?' Needless to say..she's all ready for this summer!

Below here are some of her pics. Notice she is even in character with her wet hair from the bath!
First one....a new bathing suit that her mama picked out:

Next another one I found. She is showing her 'muscles' in this pic! LOL!

Another pose...as she's watching TV:

This one was given to us from a coworker....a little riskier than the others :)

Visit from Olivia

This weekend we had a fun visit. Tracy, Nicole & Olivia came to see us for the weekend. Tyler and Lindsay were super excited to see their cousin, Olivia. All week they would wake up and ask 'is Olivia coming today?' The kids all had a good time and got along very nicely together. They played inside, outside, went to the park, the outlets, out to eat, Toys R Us...all of the fun stuff!! Needless to say, they all slept well both nights!

Group Shot: (or best attempt to get one :)

Linsday loved looking out this telescope at the park:

Bath time!

Awe.....

Playing in their pjs and heels:

Snowed In...

Being snowed in over the last few weeks hasn't always been easy for all of us. As you can imagine, the kids have been going nuts at times! And for a few days, I had to either work from home or go into work while Trev watched the kids, which wasn't always easy. Overall, I can't complain though..they did do pretty well. Here are some pics of them in action:

Lindsay loves to feed her baby doll, Ariel. She goes and gets one of her spoons and bowls and feeds Aerial her food :

In action feeding Aerial:

Awe, giving Aerial kisses:

Tyler posing:

Lindsay asked me to take her picture eating an apple:

The kids got a nice Valentine's Treat in the mail from Gma and Gpa. Here they are opening it (or Tyler opening it and Lindsay watching):

More candy....

Awe..thanks Gma for the treats!!!

While Lindsay was napping one day, Tyler and I made cupcakes together:

Snowtorious B.I.G.

Ok, unless you live in a cave, you probably know that we have gotten a TON of snow down here. About 43 inches over the last week to be exact! The kids' school was only open on Friday and was closed the rest of the week. They were both excited to be home for so long! I have been swamped at work so Trev was nice enough to host a Daddy Day Care for a few days so I could either go into the office or work from home.

Here are some pics of the kids from the last week playing in the snow!

The kiddos playing in the snow. Lindsay has the sweetest laugh of pure joy and excitement when she is in the snow, which brings big smiles to our faces :)

Of course we had a party with the neighbors on Sunday. Lots of people came out, we had a firepit going, beverages and the kids had a blast.

Now here is a serious sling shot for snowballs..check out Trev getting into it:
Roxanna, me and Christi:

Tyler helping to shovel the snow. He was such a good sport and loved helping!

Love this picture. I was folding laundry one day and told the kids to go and play for a few mins while I finished. I went into Tyler's room to check on them (as they were being a bit too quiet) and I found them on his bed reading their bibles!!

Tyler sledding!
