Pictures from our Trip

Easter Morning was quite the occasion. My mom spoiled the kids with candy and little presents. Of course they LOVED it! The best were those cute little owls and chicks in an eggshell that my mom made. Bella has officially claimed both owls and takes them everywhere.

We took the kids to the zoo while I was home and my Brother Ryan and his family got to come with us. The bigger kids all rode in a wagon and had a blast. Its not very often that i get a picture of Hudson smiling so this is a pretty good shot of him with Ashlyn.

I thought it was going to be quite the outing since Bella had a little cold and she was teething. She had been quite a handful the past few days. To my surprise she was perfectly content in the stroller for like 3 hours. We got out for lunch and thats it. I think there was so much to look at that she just took it all in. Just when i expect the worst she will surprise me and be an angel. Oh, she wore the pink shades the whole time too. What a cutie!

Hudson, Ashlyn and Hailey checking out the flamingos. I thought this picture was quite appropriate cause Hudson had been walking like a flamingo for about 3 days before this. I am not quite sure where he got his technique because he looked nothing like a flamingo and everything like a poor crippled child with a turned out foot and dragging leg. I kept telling him to walk normal, but of course that just made him do it more. So, if you have seen Hudson lately, No he does not have any impairment, just a silly imagination!

Hudsons new obsession is with Dinosaurs. Paul was trying to distract hudson one day with Land Before Time on YouTube then he was hooked. He actually tore apart my mom's houseplant because he was "Feeding the Plant Eaters". From then on the dinos were only allowed lettuce or outside leaves. Oops...sorry mom!

My mom was trying to get this cute picture with the kids at this resteraunt called White Fence Farm. They have farm animals and a park and stuff for the kids to play on after they eat. The kids had another idea for the picture, they freaked out before i could snap a good shot. My mom just went with it. I think it makes the picture more realistic...Ahh, the chaos that is my life. Luckly I love those little tornadoes.

My mom fed Bella a lemon (mean i know), but she actually ended up liking it.

Hudson posing like a cute little sheep! When we saw the real sheep they were baa-ing (what would you call that?) really loud and he ran away full speed saying that he was scared. You should hear bellas baa sound. It sounds like a demented sheep, pretty funny.
