Eggstravaganza

Easter Egg Hunt

Emry had his own egg hunt at home.
He is doing well with potty training.

Emry is afraid of heights and was holding on

tightly.

The girl's class sang and signed some songs.

They thought only their parents would come to watch

but most of the school showed up.

Evren is 5!

Evren had a birthday party at school and a 

birthday party at Grandma and Grandpa's house with a pinata. 

He was so excited to be turning 5.

We got to see some old friends that moved to Minnesota,

these too had so much fun together.

It's too bad they live so far away!

 The girl's made dresses for their dolls from Evren's old pant legs.

 Maren lost her 3rd tooth.

 Like father like son.

 A quiet reading moment.

 Daddy teaching Evren to shave.

Evren wants to be like Daddy so much.

 He better not try it this way with a real razor.

 The girl's smelling Evren's cheeks afterwards.

"It smells so good!"

 All of our kids enjoyed playing with shoes at this age.

They find the voices Daddy does when he reads to them so funny.

Brothers and Sisters

 The girls still like their clothing to match.

 Mr. Emry wants to be included in everything the big kids are doing.

 These are 17 year old overalls, my cousin Eric wore them as a baby.

Cheesin

 Taking some time to write down his thoughts.

 Emry copies Evren

again

 and again

 I love the girl's art. This is by Maren.

 Maven took this picture of Dylan.

 Emry has mastered the slide at the park. 

 The girls both lost the same tooth on the same day. 

 Emry got his first buzz cut. He looks older.

It takes 4 kids to push a baby on a scooter.

Ohio Holiday

 Maven wrote a note to her classmates before winter break.

They have heard us say we are going "up" to 

Ohio so much they think that is what it is called.

 Before we left we exchanged gifts with our Texas family.

The girls were so excited to get a doll house.

 Tiffany also spoiled us with gifts.

Transformers galore!

 Another note from Maven,

she loves to write sweet little notes.

 When we got to Ohio Maven lost her first tooth!

Grandpa just so happened to have chipped his tooth 

so they were the toothless twins. 

 Emry loved to sit in between Grandpa's legs.

 Aubrey is such a fun cousin.

 Maren took this picture of Maven

 Maven took this picture of Emry

 At the children's museum, this was Evren's

favorite part.

 Grandpa dressed in overalls to be silly for picture day.

 People asked Uncle Doug  

if Emry was his. 

 Andan is a fun cousin too.

  Emry made a friend at pot luck.

 Was so nice to see these people again.

On our way to the airport.

Patty was here when we got home!
