Easter in Pictures

I've decided that "Easter in Pictures" is a whole lot better than actually describing Easter this year, so here it is... no explanation required and no need to relive the Easter reality this year. Here's to hoping next year our pictures actually match our description.... but, at least we still managed to get some cute pictures this year as well :)

Coming downstairs to find the Easter Baskets...


The Gang, checking out the loot.


Joel, loving balls as usual.


Grant, trying to walk away with a basket.


Easter egg hunt... I see one up there!


... and over there...


Anything under there?....


Joel, unsupervised for a few minutes, opens Mitchell's 3 cadbury eggs...


... and then Dad lets him try them.


Nope, not me, I haven't seen any eggs...

Old Photos, New Photo Editing

So I'm still a little obsesssed with photo editing.... like I don't already spend enough of my life, taking, downloading, editing, blogging, scrapbooking photos. Thanks to my favorite website, picnik.com, I now spend even more hours. But anyway, I had to post these because I finally figured out how to add color where I want it, to my black and whites! (I previously thought I couldn't do that on picnik). Fun, fun ,fun.

Niece Jayna's 3rd Birthday, March 2009

Tissue Fun!

We had some neighbors over last Saturday night... about 8 little ones running wild in our house for several hours... yikes! I think the highlight for Joel was taking every last Kleenex out of the Kleenex box (a new box), with the neighbor girl, Hazel, and throwing it up in the air over and over and over.
In the down position, about to release the Kleenex...

And there it goes!!!!!!
Can you see the joy on their faces!?!?!

First Steps

Within the last few days, Grant has gone from no steps, to LOTS of steps. I can't believe he is already old enough to be walking. The time is flying by... hope you enjoy the quick video of some of these first steps :)
