The Baby Cage

He likes it in there!  :)

After the Sabbath,

 -at dawn on the first day of the week, Mary Magdalene and the other Mary went to look at the tomb.

 There was a violent earthquake, for an angel of the Lord came down from heaven and, going to the tomb, rolled back the stone and sat on it...

 The angel said to the women, "Do not be afraid, for I know that you are looking for Jesus, who was crucified.

He is not here; he has risen, just as he said.  Come and see the place where he lay..."

 So the women hurried away from the tomb, afraid yet filled with joy, and ran to tell the disciples.  Suddenly Jesus met them.  "Greetings," he said. 

They came to him, clasped his feet and worshiped him.

  Matthew 28:1-10

 

 

Happy Easter week!

From my phone- (on our trip)

Ty read to us on the way:

 We had an unexpected stop to get our van checked out- so we found a dead end street to race on!

This picture makes me so happy-

When we met these families we each had one child... 

 A little bounce-house break:

 Jackson and Bethany:

 Driving cars in the "snow":

A different kind of driving lesson:

Random.  Yes.

Birthday(s) Party!

March begins the season of birthdays for our Northern family.  Except for Isaac and Jackson (2 weeks apart) all of the kids are right in a row from March to June. 

(Haha! I love that Brian still gets stuck with the little ones!!) 

While the kids enjoy creating their own birthday cakes, I do believe they get uglier every time:

Waiting for Brian's 17 candles to be lit:    :)

Presents!  They each got books and beach towels- perfect!

Isaac had more fun with the shiny bag:

Nana with Isaac and Jackson:

 And what birthday party is complete without pony rides??

 And then a special treat- a dog show!!

So fun. 

What a blessing to spend good times with family!

Especially when we watch KU win the conference tourney!

With KState fans.  (Sorry, Sharidyn!)   :)

I don't know if you noticed the hoop attached to the wall in the top pictures...  Ty had his own little graffiti park to play in!     Awesome.

Kansas Cowgirls (and boy)

(Attacking the tree?  I don't know:)

(Searching for teeny-tiny pine cones:)

Climbing the "Crazy Tree":

Ty found someone he could rope and take to jail:

(Grammy!)

Halle led the way over the fence and into the fields.  The girls kept bringing back loads of dry cornstalks.  Lucky Papa had plenty of fodder for his burn barrel after we left!

Thanks for the rides, Papa and Dolly...

 More (random) Kansas fun-

Silly Supper- a 20 year tradition in this house: 

Using up the leftover sparklers from our wedding!
