Birthday Time

 Yep - I turned 30 this year!  All of a sudden it didn't seem that cool anymore.  I did enjoy the day though.  I met up with a group of friend at the park and enjoyed a nice picnic and let the kids play. We celebrated by going out to dinner at Texas Roadhouse and I came home to a house full of 30 balloons.  Each one with a message from friends telling me how special I am.  I appreciate having such wonderful friends. 

  

 Cherry Cheesecake (my personal favorite)  Thanks to my Aunt Lynae who came by to wish me a Happy Birthday and dropped of a pie.  She has inside sources (my mom), so she always seems to surprise me with a favorite something or other!  Thanks Lynae.

Decorating Easter Eggs

 Since we were out of town over Easter we didn't get to dye our own eggs, so we decided to have an egg coloring party when we got back.

 Check out the giant bunny I found at an after Easter sale... Fifty cents I kid you not!  Seriously so cool.  I can't wait to set it in our yard next year!

 Cooper just having a great time

 Spencer loved the dye sticks.  They were great for coloring on the eggs.

 Super baby & Giant bunny

Thanks Nick

 Time for treats and our Easter movie.  We rented HOP - I guess we missed it last year, so thought we'd catch up this year.  Landon enjoying his leftover Easter Treats.

Spencer getting cozy for the movie.  

Easter

 Easter egg hunt.  Grandma and Grandpa Tobler hid hundreds of eggs all over the yard, and the grand kids had a great time finding them.

 Opening our eggs to find the candy!

 All the kids gathered to open their eggs :o)

 Ellison loved holding Cooper.  I wish she lived near us so I could have her babysit.  She sure loves the little kiddos.

Hanging Out in Arizona!

 Lego Time!

 Jackson is the best boy cousin ever.  He spent hours playing with the boys all week and making them feel special.  Then to top it off he  helped Spencer build his Lego dinosaur.

 We love you cousin Jackson!

 We had fun watching Ellison play soccer while we were there!

 Ellison is a super star.  She's a great little soccer player!
