The egg hunt!

We could not have asked for better weather, it was absolutely beautiful!

Our yard was a big ant hill covered with tons of children ferociously searching for sugar, it was awesome.

Afterwards we got to hang out, enjoy the beautiful weather...

...and EAT!

Getting ready for easter

We died Easter eggs... apparently my girls thought using cups was too boring.

 We filled several hundred easter eggs

We made deviled eggs, peep kabobs, cupcakes and tons of other treats.

Lucy even had a training session with Keaton teaching him to pick up the eggs and put them in his bucket. The girls were worried that because this was his first egg hunt he would not know what to do. 

Little did they know that would be his only hunt because at the east party he was sound asleep during the big hunt.

The ball boy

Keaton stood here for like four minutes just contemplating how to get the ball that high.

Someday it will happen.

Night of the Notables

Ruby was very excited to be Hatshepsut for the Night of the Notables (just like her big sister was in 6th grade). She worked really hard on her poster even painting the background to look like sand.

She did a great job on reciting her bio-riddle. Mr. Fox said she was the only person that memorized the entire thing. She was so confident and beautiful.

Kitchen Before & After

Here are some photos our kitchen shortly after it was built.  These photos were taken when it was  featured in a country living magazine.

Here are a few before pics and lots of afters

Nursery

Today was Keaton's 1st day of nursery. 

I was so excited to not have to walk the halls with a screaming (happy screaming, but screaming) baby. At the same time I was trying not to cry.

 I can't believe how fast time is flying!

This poor guy is even surrounded by girls in nursery. There will be more boys entering over the next few months, but for now he is outnumbered.

Hang'n with the chicks

The forecast said it was going to snow but we had one of the most beautiful spring days ever!

Keaton always loves the chicks at a distance...

but today he touched them on his own!
