Major Catching Up


Once again, I have gotten behind on the blog.  In my defense, I did have strep throat two weeks ago which actually forced me to rest.  I even had to stay home one day from work.  That's the one and only great thing about strep throat.  If you get it during the week, you have to stay home for 24 hours after starting the antiobiotic. Nana and Papa offered to keep the kids so I could rest.  I tried so hard all day to sleep but I just couldn't.  I did lie around and watch T.V. though, which felt very strange to do during daylight hours.   
We had a wonderful Easter.  Steve's sister, Sheri, niece, Sara, and nephew, Jesse came up from Illinois with their two dogs, Sophie and Minnie. 
Foster always has an Easter egg hunt so we went to it of course. We saw Jaxon and Jeremy there. Cousin Abbi, Tyler, Aunt Jessie and Uncle Jimmy were there too.
 



The kids got to get 11 eggs.  They then get a bag of prizes at the end.
The Saturday before Easter was Steve's birthday so we also celebrated that with a small get together at our house.
Happy Birthday to Steve!

Brenna found her basket under the end table.  Brody found his in the dryer.  He had written a letter to the Easter Bunny requesting that the basket be put in the dryer again.

The Easter Bunny came to our house when we were at church and out to eat and hid eggs all over the yard. Brenna and Brody had a blast finding the eggs.  I think it took them five minutes to find over 70 eggs.

Later in the afternoon on Easter the kids and I went into town to see Aunt Jessie and family.

Auntie Sheri with the kids.  You guessed it. Brenna didn't want her picture taken.
Sara was the flower girl in our wedding.  Tyler was the ring bearer.  They have changed quite a bit in the past 6.5 years! They were not very happy about having to get their picture taken together.
Papa's friendly squirrel that he named Friskey.  It takes bread right out of his hand.
