New Baby Cousin!

 Lucy had her baby today!

Her name is Anna and we got to go see her and hold her.  

The girls were loving it.  

Rylee could have held her forever!

Now we can't wait for our own baby!

Congratulations, Stephan and Lucy!!!

Seriously, Rylee didn't want to let go.  

She acted like an old pro holding Anna!

Easter Part 1

 Rylee woke up bright and early to see what the Easter Bunny brought.

 Rylee loves these Beanie Boos- 

or the stuffed animals with "cute eyes" as she calls them.  

She now has five of them.

 I told Rylee she couldn't find the Easter eggs until Ashlyn got up.  So I decided to take a shower while we waited for Ashlyn, but when by the time I got out Rylee had already waken up Ashlyn!  I guess it's a good thing that they got up early though because we have 9:00 church.

 And Ashlyn got a Beanie Boo too!

 All ready for church

 Grandma, Grandpa, and Cory came over for dinner.  Grandma did most of the work, we just had it at our house.  Then we went out to play on the new swingset.  Everyone had a turn on the swings!

 Grandma and Grandpa gave them bubbles.

It was a gorgeous day- what a great Easter!!!

Easter Eggs

I love these cute girls so much!

Easter Egg Hunt

 Miss Eve from the daycare talked us into going to the Easter egg hunt at Tautphaus Park.   I hadn't been before, so I didn't know what to expect.  It started at 10, so we got there around 9:30 and there were a lot of people there already.  And it was freezing- I think when we left the house it was in the 20's, so literally freezing!  So I almost didn't go, but I took the girls anyway.  While we were waiting, Katisia and Gabe happened to stand behind us, so it was fun to see them and wait with them for a little bit.  They started the countdown and Rylee and some other kids got a little bit of a head start, but then it started and I think all of the eggs were gone in less than a minute.  Then we had to open all of the eggs to see if we won any prizes.  We got a few eggs with numbers of prizes. but mostly candy.  But the line was huge for the prizes so we waited in an almost as long of a line for the Easter Bunny.  Then Ashlyn wouldn't even go see him, so just Rylee got her picture taken with him.  Then we didn't wait in line at all for our prizes- 3 Farr's candy bars.  So I don't know if it was quite worth it, but the girls had fun so that's all that matters, right?!? 

 I love this picture- they all love each other!

Isaiah was at wrestling, but we wish he could have been there too.

Swingset

 Matt has been busy this spring break building a swingset for the girls.  We don't have the slide yet, but the girls are loving the swings and the rings.  Matt worked really hard on it and he did a great job.  Unfortunately we haven't had the greatest weather this week, so they had to swing with coats and jackets.  But they don't care how cold it is out there- they just want to play!!

 Rylee knew just what to do on these rings-

she was doing flips as soon as we put it up.  

 Upside down and no hands!

 Ashlyn also loves hanging upside down.  

And I'm sure Rylee will teach her how to do flips soon!

We love it!
