Easter 2011

Here are some of our Easter adventures this year. On the Friday night before Easter we deceded to dye eggs. Avarie had a lot of fun with that. Excuse the hair and pajamas we went to the pool right before dying them.

Avarie with the colors and eggs Waiting very impatiently
On Saturday we went to an Easter egg hunt on base. It is a great hunt. They set out eggs that are empty and the kids go and get them. At the end they turn in the eggs for a bag of candy, therefore eliminating the competitive parents. I love it.
Avarie and Reid both had a lot of fun with it. I lost Avarie during hers because she just took off and the parents were supposed to stay back.

Here are just some random pictures that I was looking at today.

Exciting New Purchase

On Monday we found exactly what we have been looking and waiting for for the past 6-8 months or so. We finally have a second car!!! We have been trying to manage with one and it has been a real struggle and very frusterating, but it ended well. It is a Nissan Pathfinder that has 7 seats (enough room to grow into, no that is not an announcement:) ) . I am so excited I had to share.

Promotion Ceremony

Derrick was promoted on March 31st to 1st LT. We were so proud of him. The people in his class that were being promoted with him were all standing in a line and they went through and individual gave them their plaque and then they switched out their "pins". Avarie was able to pin Derrick which was so much fun to see. Here are the pictures I was able to take.

Random Children

Here are some random pictues from teh past month. I do have a video again so check back later for that to be added if you would like.

Avarie and Reid are the craziest sleepers I know. They almost always end up upside down and backwards. I love it!
Silly Avarie

St. Patrick's Day

On St. Patrick's Day we went to the zoo for some fun here are a few pictures from our adventure. As a lot of you know our children are animal lovers to say the least. They have so much fun at the zoo. Reid's favorite are the Rhinos and the birds. Avarie's favorites are the elephants and the big cats. I am going to add a video at some point of Reid, but I am still having trouble getting them to load so hopefully later today there will be some videos on the new posts.

Our World Through the Eyes of a Three Year Old

Ok so these pictures need some explaining. Avarie the other day got a hold of my camera and went to town taking pictures and these are what I found. This is life from her perspective. It is pretty funny. These are the works of Avarie.

ignore the messy living room.

Avarie's Newest Toy

One of our neighbors in the complex recently gave us this scooter. It is like one of those razor scooters, but has two wheels on the back so it is more stable for smaller children. Avarie has loved using it!!! Here are some pictures from her first adventure with it.

Avarie taking it down the hall outside to practice using ittrying to get the hang of it

Park visit

Some time in march just before St. Patricks day we took a day out to have a picnic at the park. It was a lot of fun! Here are some pictures from the adventure.
