Easter!

Sagen and Lorelei were both very into Easter this year. They loved dying and searching for eggs, they loved hanging out with their cousins and the LOVED getting all that candy. Sagen was very interested in the Easter Bunny himself. He kept saying "Bunny HOP HOP!"

Gotta love the chocolate on Sagen's lips at 7:00 on the morning!



In their Easter best!


Hunting for eggs at Grandma and Grandpa's house.


Lorelei is a great egg hunter I think she may have found the most eggs out of all of the kiddos!

Zoo 2!

Over spring break (4/6-4/10) we met some friends at the zoo! It was a really nice day. The kids had a blast. Afterwards, we went to lunch. I got up to take Lorelei to the bathroom and Sagen started to cry. Brian was done eating so he took Sagen out to the car. Sagen was so mad, stubborn and tired that he cried until he threw up! That was NOT the end to the day that we wanted!

Watching the otters.

Hair Cut!

Today I took Lorelei to get her hair cut. Her grandma cut a little bit of last summer, but this time I took her to a salon to get her hair shaped. My mom could have done it but I wanted to have a cute photo op! She got a certificate for her 1st haircut which I changed it so it says "1st PRO haircut."

I of course took a lot of pictures. At the bottom are the before and after shots. You can't really tell in the front.



Waiting for her turn.

Addict

Sagen is addicted to his pacis. Here is the proof!


We will eventually take them away from him, but not TOO soon!

Soccer

Lorelei is playing soccer this year. She loves the practices and saying that she is a soccer player. She didn't like the game to much though. I think all of the kids on the field intimidated her She made me stay on the field with her. It was still pretty fun though.
Cutie getting ready!


Team meeting.


Mama plays too!

Greer this year!

Last weekend we went up north in search of snow. Yes, you heard me right, when you live in Tucson you actually go LOOKING for snow. We went and stayed in a cabin in Greer like we did last year. Our friends the Pergers went with us. WE HAD A BLAST! Lorelei LOVED sledding this year (she hated it last year) and Sagen LOVED playing with Alex (who is 7). Sagen did NOT like sledding or even watching other people sled he would say "Mama, Dada FALL! OH NO HE FALL!!!" every time he watch Brian sled down the hill. Even though he was truly sacred it was funny! In the evenings they had fun running around in the cabin playing with the big kids.

Here are 3 of the kids hanging out in the van.


Here we are in front of the Tin Star. A cute little store by our cabin.

Kadin, Emily, and Bucky visited again this year for the gem show. Sagen and Lorelei loved having Kadin around. They played a lot and ought a little. Lorelei said, "That Kadin is a Stich." I am assuming she heard somone else say that because I don't think she would come up with it on her own. When I asked her what it meant she said, "You know like on Lilo and Stich." I thought that was pretty cute. We had a lot of fun and I didn't get as many pictures as I'd like, but here is what I have.

This is the best picture I have of all three of them.


I love this picture of the two boys.

Emily has more pictures that she is suppose to send to me.
