::happy easter pt 3::

We couldn't seem to get one where everybody looked good at once. But that's the beauty of having little kiddos, right?




Little kids making bunny faces that is....
I can't believe the baby put up with the bunny ears for so long. That's pretty amazing.
Thanks for taking the pictures Kathy. At least one of us looked cute in each, and we can't ask for much more than that!

::Happy Easter pt 2::

With Kris's mom. It was so fun to get to spend Easter with her.




I had to post this last one because of Max's face. Evidently he was working hard on making a "bunny face" with his longest front tooth stuck out over his bottom lip. It seems to have been a lot of hard work.

Obviously I should've used a different f stop setting so both of my boys would've been in focus, but oh well. They're cute anyway. I can't get enough of the bunny ears.
Happy Easter day!!

::dinner & kris::

Kathy made us a delicious pizza a couple of nights ago. It had ricotta cheese, artichokes, tomatoes and some delicious shredded cheeses that I don't remember.

She even made me a couple of non-tomatoed pieces which I thought was so sweet.

Anyway I was trying to take a picture of the cute people at the table, and somebody was giving me some trouble. It's not necessarily the guy you'd expect.


He just refused to behave.


I do appreciate him setting such a good example for his crazy son, of course.

Oy.

::yikes::

Sand doesn't like bathing right now. I mean REALLY doesn't like it. He only starts crying after the first nanosecond his littlest toe hits the water.
Grandma was bathing him today. He was mad. He got even more mad when I came in with the camera and took pictures instead of saving him.


Poor little mad dude.

::basket::

Max came out of school today with a treasure--a basket full of grass.
You just don't see lush green grass around here much. I think the kids planted the seeds about two weeks ago.
His sweet teacher is a pastor's wife. She was pretty excited to sneak some easter basketing in at school under the guise of "spring baskets."

Yay for spring (and Easter) and baskets and treats and eggs.

Now if only that patch of grass was big enough I could squish my feet around in it.....

Kris's Aunt Becky and Uncle Richard took an impromptu trip out here to Santa Fe to see if it might be someplace they could move too in a couple of years. They're living in Germany right now on the military base.
We tried to show them all our favorite things and make them fall in love with the city. We'll see how it all turns out in the end. But in the meantime we had a blast hanging out with them. They're so much fun.

Here they are in front of our new house--in their lovely matching parkas.

We'd like to have them as neighbors someday. We'll keep wishing!

::while in UT::

When we were in UT for the funeral and the week after I hardly took a single picture. I was just too busy trying to survive--I got a bad cold and the baby woke up about 10 times per night every night we were there. But we had a really nice time, and it was so great to be there with everyone. I wouldn't have traded it for anything.
The last day we were there was conference sunday and it was a nice peaceful day. I pulled out my camera at the very end of the day and snapped a few shots of cousins and grandmas and aunts and uncles.

Max and cousin KC having some fun together.


New cousin Quinn.

It took a little coaxing to get a smile out of Parker.

Cousin Clayton.



We're just all so lucky to have each other.
And if you want to see pictures of MY side of the family go here. It was really nice to get to spend some time with them too, and also get to hug and chat with Laura, Murphy's fiance!!!!
