This and That!

On March 18th my parents came up for a week, on March 25 my in-laws came up for a week, my spring break started on April 2, my mom came back with me on April 10, and my dad came up last night. It has been awesome having help for the past few weeks and am not looking forward to being back on our own. Here are some pictures from when Grandpa Wally and Grandma Carol were here.

The Sunday before Easter Steve and Landen colored Easter eggs. They had a blast...at least Landen did! He did very well and surprisingly didn't make that much of a mess. He tried VERY hard to gently drop the eggs in the cups, but sometimes he did not succeed.

Landen just got his easter basket from Grandpa Wally & Grandma Carol

On the same Sunday Grandpa and Daddy put Landen's trampoline up. He wasn't too sure of it at first, but not he LOVES it. Thanks PJ! It is AWESOME having older cousins that have lots of TOYS!

As you can see they don't like to lean back anymore in their swings...unless of course they are TIRED!

They LOVE looking at each other. This is how they usually are, too. Brody on on the move and Brayden content to watch him. Brody hasn't started "crawling" yet but he can get to where ever he needs to go!

These next pictures are from our "vacation" in Rapid River. The boys slept really well there and so did Landen. He got to sleep in his "big boy" bed and did very well. However, I never put him in there awake so I'm not sure how he would have done had he been awake. At home he still sleeps in his crib because he LOVES it and we don't worry about him getting out. Maybe this summer we will ease him into his toddler bed.

I was playing with my new camera and obviously was still trying to figure it out.

This past Friday my sisters and their families came over to my parent's house for pizza and to see the kids before we left for Ontonagon. My brother was also home which was nice even if he does like to tease Landen!

We has a lot of visitors while on vacation...Aunt Lillian, Emily, Aunt Sara, Aunt Monnie, Samantha, Jake, Uncle Sam, Aunt Sandy, Lynn, Jennie, & Jackie. Of course, Auntie JuJu, Uncle Robert, Auntie Patti, Uncle Gerry, Ashleigh, Hayden, Logan, & PJ were over a lot as well. Landen had a lot of fun with the neighborhood kids, especially Cici. He is still talking about her!

It was so nice out today that Brayden even got to enjoy the fresh air for a little bit. Brody was sleeping so he wasn't able to come outside.
