Photo Shoot

The boys latest photo shoot didn't go quite as planned. Logan did great, Myles on the other hand was a little stinker and refused to coorperate. Luckily he was in a good mood, just wanted to play not sit still. It took 2 hours to get the shots and I have vowed to never again plan on 2 outfits. That just made it that much more complicated. After all the fuss and mess we did end up getting some great pictures. Here they are for your enjoyment...and mine, because just ask me, my kids are the cutest ever!!!











I was going to pick just my favorites, but couldn't decide...

Easter

We had a lot of fun this Easter. A few egg/candy hunts, some egg dying and Easter baskets of course. I tried to focus on the true meaning and mad sure to teach Logan about why we have Easter and what it meant. He's a little young to fully comprehend but the more he learns now the more he'll understand later.
We went to an Easter hunt on Saturday with my sister and her kids and Chris' nephew and mom. It was a good time and the kids really enjoyed it. Especially the candy. We had the kids pictures taken later that day..more on that later..then enjoyed egg dying at Grandma and Grandpa Conradsen's. We do a lot over there now since we don't know how much longer we have with Grandpa. Logan had a good time and Myles had a blast dying his hand. Luckily it came off in the bath the next day.

Easter morning we woke up bright and early and found the eggs and baskets that the Easter Bunny left. Logan got some new games for his Leapster, Nascar and a Phonics one, and Myles got some LeapFrog magnet sets, a car wash and alphabet. They also got quite a few books. They always get at least one book.

The boys were really cute together finding the eggs. Logan let Myles get quite a few which I was impressed with. Myles also got really good at finding everything. He noticed ones that Logan walked right past and that I had forgotten. Later that morning we took the boys to church to hear Grammy sing in the choir and then it was off to Grandma Teresa's for Easter dinner and another egg hunt. Of course the boys had a great time. Grandma and Grandpa were able to come over which made the event that much more fun. All in all it was a great day and I can't wait to do it again next year. I'm making a resolution to keep is a little more low key next year however. I've really got to stop with the compulsive shopping when it comes to the kids.
