Piggy Back Ride

So big on Sissies shoulders.

He is Risen!

One of my favorite table settings of all time.  We ended up hosting 60 people for Easter dinner and an egg hunt.

Easter Eggs

Dozens and dozens of painted eggs make for a fun afternoon, colorful decorations and great party favors.

Birthday Style

Our fun loving guy with the great smile and amazing hugs turned 11!!!

Wagon Ride

The girls would spend all afternoon riding in the wagon.  Elsa and Anna go along for the fun. 

Here I Come!

Carmella used to be very nervous on the slide.  After this day she fell in love with the slide and encouraged Addison to join her.

The Presentation

As part of their driving class the girls had to put together a presentation incorporating a trip across the USA.

Too Much Therapy

The kids sometimes have this same effect on me!

Hammock Time

An unusually warm April day gave us an opportunity to spend the afternoon in the hammock enjoying a good book and a long nap.

Caution! Men At Work

As part of their chicken project the boys needed to build a new hen house.  Allen directed but wanted the boys to do the majority of the work so they could build their skills.  Most Saturdays in 2014 found them back in the field with their hammers and nails hard at work. 

The Young Violinist

Elisabeth was very intrigued when Brianna and Emma took up the violin.  By Spring her big sisters began teaching her how to play.

Olivia

When Carmella was 3 months old a friend of ours gave her this little bunny.  We named it Olivia and it has been her constant companion since... except Carmella calls her Livvy.

Toes Part 2 and Angry Physicist Hair

Toes

Not my favorite but the only picture for the day.  One of the kids must have taken this one.  Addison is actually laughing but he is in mid blink and it looks like he is crying.  He recently discovered he loves his feet and will spend an entire nap time rolling to his back and playing with his toes.
