April 8th - Easter

We had a jammed-packed Easter Sunday with celebrations at our house, Mimi & Papa's, the farm, and Grandma & Papa's.  We feel so blessed to live so close to all of our family and get to share these important days with all of them.  Thanks to everyone for making the day so special!

April 7th

Saturday was one of the busiest days we have had in a long time.  We started off the morning meeting Joe & Kelly at the Saylorville Fire Department for a pancake breakfast.  After that we headed to Home Deport for the kid's workshop to make the cutest window bird feeder.  When we were done there, we headed to the zoo for an Easter egg hunt.  Zach got to ride a camel and see some animals.  The weather was a little damp, but the crowds were small so we were happy!  Later in the afternoon, Zach and Chris met Craig & Peggy at the movie theater to see The Lorax (and eat popcorn!) while I did some baking.  We finished off the night decoring motorcycle Easter eggs and putting out carrots for the Easter Bunny.  Having fun is hard work!

April 6th

Nothing says Spring like baseball!  All week we have been talking about going to an I-Cubs game with Zach.  Every morning he would wake up and ask if it was Friday.  We had a great time and stayed for the fireworks even though it got quite chilly.  Zach got a little bored and walked down to the expensive seats.  He found a family from Urbandale and talked to them for a good 25 minutes.  Chris went down after a bit and they wanted to verify some stories Zach told them.  Zach was quite enamored with his new friends, and they thought he was pretty great too.  He has already asked at least 5 times if we can go to another game.  Go Cubbies!

April 5th

Tony got a new Nerf gun that is bigger than Zach.  If all the boys in the house didn't have such fun playing, I would try to find a dart gun rehab for him!

April 4th

The Easter Bunny stopped at our house a little early while we were at work today.  Thanks for the surprise Papa H!

Note: Zach didn't really mow.  He helped Tony for one row.  We were very careful and his toes got no where near the blades.  No need to worry!  :)

April 1st - Easter Bunny

After the baptism on Sunday, we stopped at the mall to see the Easter Bunny & ride the Easter train.  Zach and Tony loved it!

April 1st - Baptism

Noah and Memphis were baptized on Sunday.  Randy & Jenny had a nice luncheon afterwards in the fellowship hall.  It was so fun to see all of the boys dressed up.  Congratulations Memphis & Noah!
