Easter Pictures

We had a wonderful Easter, just thought I would post a few pictures...

Nana & Grandpa and Mema & Bepa are keeping a good watch over the eggs

Miss Kore (a homeschooler who helps me with the kidos on Friday mornings) assisted with the egg dying

aww, aren't they cute!

Thank you for the books Mema and Bepa!

Thank you for filling our Easter baskets Nana and Grandpa!

He's Three!

Isaac turned three on Sunday. Since it was Easter and we knew it would be a big day, we decided to celebrate his birthday on Saturday. As soon as he woke up he was ready for the "party" to begin. The party, which consisted of him opening his presents, was finished by 8:00 am... At least he had all day to play with them that way...

Matt was in charge of getting the Cars balloon. He spent $17 on two balloons (They didn't look that big in the store he said)

Thank you everyone!

That evening we took Isaac out to eat at Red Robin.

Here he is eating a cherry off of his icecream sundae


The spoon with the birthday sundae comes with balloons attached. I know they are pink and white... long story

We had Isaac's birthday cake on Sunday after lunch.

I am going to really have to work on my cake decorating skills.

Isaac was still impressed, although at first he thought they were Easter eggs

(It's Lightning McQueen and Sally in case you were wondering)

make a wish...

Spring is Here?

Isaac just can not wait to play outside....

Isaac said...

Isaac: "On my birthday I am going to open my present from the X-Man"

Me: "The x-man, who is that?"

Isaac: "you know, the X-Man, he brought the package to the door."

Me: "Ah, yes, the Fed-Ex delivery man, got it..."

Isaac and Kaylee

My two favorite pictures as of late...

Get ready, this is exciting stuff! Well, maybe not, but I am sure that some of you may be interested to see our progress around here. Matt has been spending most of his free time (with the exception of a recent ski trip to CO) in the basement, and I have been painting.

Here is what we have to show for our efforts...

the larger room with storage closet door

door leading to shop (unfinished part)

French doors leading to excercise room
