Easter Sunday

My crazy kids on Easter Sunday.

Easter Sunday was on March 31st this year. After church we came home to candy from the Easter Bunny and one of our favorite movies, "Wreck It Ralph." We had a fun little Easter egg hunt in the back yard. It was a simple Easter, but sometimes that just what you need.

Riding The Bike Trail

Kenny was working really hard this spring on a great bike trail for the kids in the empty lot next to our neighborhood. He got enough of it done that he wanted one of the kids to try riding it. On the 29 of March, we took Hannah over and took some pictures of her on the trail. She did great and had a lot of fun.

I had to have a turn. It was a lot of fun.

My Messy Birthday

For my birthday this year I decided I'd had way to much cake (I don't even really like cake) and donuts so I decided to go with strawberry shortcake instead. I love strawberries and when you put them in a yummy sauce inside a cake with whipped cream on top, well, it's just delicious. Not only was the food good, but daddy decided to have fun with the whipped cream and it made it a birthday to remember. 

Kenny asked the kids who wanted whipped cream on top. They all said they did so he put whipped cream on their tops. I'm so glad I have a husband who is willing to do silly things with our kids and in true Kenny fashion, it only got sillier.

Kenny asked Sarah if she wanted more because her's fell off her head.
Of course she said yes. She acted so shocked, but she was loving it.

Ben wanted a mustache and so that's exactly what Kenny gave him.

Hannah one upped Ben and got a beard.

Dan wanted to be like the others, but when it came down to it he just
wasn't brave enough so daddy just put it in his mouth instead.

Gracie grew her nose a little and thought it was soooo funny.

Adam was a little braver than Dan and got some just above his mouth.

After we were pretty much done, Dan decided to be brave and let Daddy
put some on his chin. He was soooo proud of himself.

After I started putting the little boys in the bath tub Kenny asked if I was planning on washing Hannah. I told him yes and a few minutes later Hannah came into the bathroom looking like this. . .

She told me she was an old man. What a cute old man.

My husband and kids are the coolest and I'm the luckiest mom I know. Oh and Kenny bathed the kids so that was an extra bonus. 

Hannah's Friend Party

Because Hannah was off track for her birthday we had to wait a week to have her friend party. She handed out invitations the first day back to school and her party was on Friday March 22nd. She had a good showing of friends, 6 total, and had so much fun playing games, going for a treasure hunt, opening presents, eating ice cream, and just goofing off. I can't believe she's already 7. Where has the time gone?

We had the kids go fishing off the deck for paper fish. It was a huge hit.

Hannah wanted a Easter themed party so she got a bunny cake.

Riding the Bike Ramps

After some work, Kenny and the kids (mostly Kenny) were able to get some of the bike ramps finished and ready to ride. Kenny built a little track in the back yard for the kids to try them out on. It took a few tries, but the kids were able to ride up and down them and had a lot of fun. We decided it probably wasn't a great idea to turn the backyard into a bike track so Kenny called the owner of the empty lot by our house and we moved the ramps over there. Kenny put a lot of work into building a really neat bike track over there for the kids.
