Chewie & Friends Come for Dinner

Sunday night we had some friends over for dinner. Gus brought over his puppy Chewie (AKA: Chewbacca). The dogs and kids had a great time playing.

A video and a few more pictures.

Isaac's Last Skating Lesson for the season

Saturday was Isaac's last ice skating class for the season.....Goldfish swim classes start up again next week.

Here is a picture of him playing defense. He decided to do this on his own....after he scored his goal.

There is also a video of him scoring a goal on his teacher. He earned a Hockey 1 and Hockey 2 badge.

Also there are some pictures from the mall and one of Isaac after he had his face painted at Giupi's Birthday Party. He wanted to be a superhero and these are yellow stars over his eyes....

Earth Day trip to the recycling plant and misc picture

We took the kids to the local recycling plant for a personalized tour on Earth Day. They found it pretty interesting and have really been into recycling lately!

A few random pictures from Toys-R-Us and How to Train your Dragon.

Iron Man

And a few short videos of Isaac learning to ride his bike without training wheels.

Busy Weekend

Had a busy weekend. Saturday Morning Miriam went to Yoga and we called Grandma and Grandpa....Olivia had a nice conversation w/ Grandma.

Then we headed to Cayden's 1st Birthday...it was great to catch up with some of our friends and celebrate Cayden's 1st Bday.

Later that afternoon we took Isaac to see How to Train your Dragon 3-D, he loved it!

That night Isaac headed over to Lita's for a sleepover.

Sunday morning Miriam woke up with a plan to drive to Frankenmuth and head to the Water park. The kids had a great time. They were able to go down the biggest slides in the park on the tubes, which they loved. After a few hours of water slides we walked around town, spent some time in the shops, and then had a chicken dinner at Zender's.



As you can tell it was a packed weekend we did not have a lot of time to take pictures but here are a few and a short video.

Easter at Lita's

Sunday was Easter and as always, we headed over to Lita's for the Easter Eggstravanganza! While we were getting ready at home the kids got dressed, ensured that "Pinky the Dinosaur" was feeling okay and made Easter cards for Lita .

When we arrived we sat down for a great lunch...the kids were very excited about the Easter Egg hunt. They had decorated the eggs with stickers a few days ago and had been anxiously awaiting and just could not sit still. Before the official Egg Hunt started they were rough-housing on the floor and Olivia discovered one (this is caught on video)...she was pretty excited.

After the kids collected all of the eggs, they cracked them open and checked out all of their loot=candy.

After eating a few pieces each, Miriam and the kids dyed the real eggs....Miriam surprised them by putting messages on some of the eggs before they dipped them in the dye. (check out the video when Olivia reads her name!)

After the egg dying we had lemon meringue pie...all of the sugar added up to more rough-housing....
