Jack's First Communion!

Jack made his First Communion yesterday. He looked so grown up and handsome in his suit! He did a great job and didn't seem too nervous. Tim and I got to go up to Communion with his so it was really special. We had a little get together after with Matt, Beth, Matthew, and Callie.

All ready to go!

Proceeding in and genuflecting!

He found us! All smiles!

Easter

We were at Tim's parents for Easter this year. The kids had a great time decorating eggs- it was very serious work!

We had an egg hunt that the kids loved. They loved finding all of the candy and even money that the Easter Bunny left in some of the eggs!

Someone clearly had a powdered donut during the egg hunt!

Off to look for eggs....

Found one!

The boys and their loot!

Trip to STL...

At the end of spring break, we traveled to Tim's parent's house in Columbia,MO. We were heading back for a jack and jill wedding shower for Tim's brother Chris and fiance Erin. When we arrived on Thursday, Tim's sisten Nicki was there with Johnny and then Chris came up later that evening. Unfortunately a stomach bug kept Tim, Hailey, and I from ever making it to the shower so were are so glad that Nicki and Chris made the trip to Columbia to see us.

Spring Break trip to the zoo!

We enjoyed a warm, spring day at the zoo! The kids had a great time as always! Here are some pictures from the day!

The boys loved when the grizzly stood up on his hind legs to scratch his back on the rocks!

The grizzly was pacing back and forth in front of the boys.

Hailey and her first ice cream cone!

Would not let me help! In fact, she poked her thumb through the cone so I couldn't get it away!

Protesting when I tried to help!

Oh the look I got when trying to help! We are trouble with this one!!!

Andrew and his messy face!!

Jack and his lacrosse stick...his coach told him to take it everywhere and he listened!!
