7 MONTHS!

Elisa was 7 months old on Saturday! She is loving life! Smiles, blowing bubbles and sucking in air....we call it laughing, are common occurances.

Like my new hair? This was the official 1st haircut and Noah was not very excited about the whole thing....but it looks so good! Katina got her bangs trimmed without a fight! Good job, Nina! (Noah's "Katina")

We spent the weekend at Grandpa and Grandma's. After getting haircuts in Wamego...Alex and Katina went fishing with some FFA kids and the rest of us enjoyed the outdoors in Manhattan. A visit to Papa and Grandma's is NOT complete without sweeping. Noah has become an expert on brooms and brushes and their proper usage. I am sure this will subside when he has to start "using" them to do chores!

CRAYOLA EXPLOSION

It all started so innocently........

I left the room for what seemed like a minute.....got a little preoccupied with Elisa....and......

I returned to kids throwing crayons all over the room and laughing hysterically!

EASTER - 1 month late!

Pictures of Alex and the kids Easter morning.....

my happy boys!!!

and the latest addition to the zoo.....three bunnies!

We're Back!!!

Yes, we are back amongst the bloggers! I am very embarrassed that I didn't do a very good job of keeping up...thank you for missing us and saying so.

So, I am going to attempt to fill you on the last month with pictures. Spring Break and Easter were our big picture events, along with crayon fun and a weekend at Grandparents Bartel....so here goes.

SPRING BREAK:

Elisa mastered the sitting-by-her-self position.

Katina found new jewelry when cleaning up her room.

We loved eating corn-on-the-cob from Grandpa Don and Grandma Mary!

Grandma Myrna and Katina dyed Easter Eggs!

We opted for the Easter Turkey instead of an Easter Ham this year......Alex thoroughly enjoyed it! Here are classic before and after shots of a Yummy turkey leg!

We slept........

and relaxed....A LOT!

So, that was the week......next blog will bring pictures of Easter....later!
