Easter Egg Dying

This was the beginning of our Easter Egg Dying Experience. Can you believe that they are both looking at the camera and they are both sitting down? Amazing! I love my Easter Bunnies!

Easter Photo Shoot

I took these pictures in our yard. This was the beginning of our photo shoot. Can anyone guess how it went?

This is the closest we got to them both looking at the camera.

Cute picture of Avery.

Logan didn't really enjoy Avery hugging him.

Nor did he enjoy her kissing him.

What he enjoyed most was picking the flowers.

Cute suit!

This facial expression pretty much summed up the photo shoot for Logan.
We will try again next year.

Zoo

It was finally a beautiful day in Portland, so we and the rest of Portland decided to go to the zoo. We had such a fun time seeing the animals. I love this picture because none of my children are looking at the camera. It is the story of my life. Logan was interested in the zebras and Avery was interested in the looking spectacles.

Snack Time - the best part about the Zoo:)

This one turned out better. We are pretty much all looking at the camera. Can you tell that we live in Washington? We are all glowing white.

Logan is more than willing to share his snack with the camera.

I love the facial expressions of my children when they saw the leopard. Avery was scared and Logan said, "Whoa".

Henry's Blessing

We went to Denver to be at Henry's baby blessing. It was such a special event. We feel so blessed to have him in our lives. One of my favorite things in the world is just holding a newborn. Henry is such a handsome and sweet baby. We also had a chance to spend some time with Caroline. Avery and Caroline are such cute friends. Thank you Katie and Aaron for letting me spend some time with Caroline and Henry. It was also fun doing crafts and cooking with Katie. She has so many amazing talents. I only wished you lived closer.

Beautiful Katie with handsome Henry.

Can you tell that my children were not up for pictures?

My favorite picture of Henry.

I love this picture because his eyes were open.

I love these little hands. We are so glad to have you in this world, Henry!

Praying

This is how Logan looks when he is praying. He is getting better at folding his arms. Isn't he cute?!!

Valentine's Day

Our children were so excited to find Valentine's Day balloons in their rooms when they woke up. The simple joys of a balloon. It was a special day for Avery because it was the first time she gave the prayer in Sharing Time at church. She loves saying prayers. But it turned out to be a funny experience. Michael and I went into Sharing Time so we could hear her say her first prayer. We got there and Avery came up to us and told us that this is her class and we need to go to our class - Sunday School. She did not want us there. She got up to say her prayer and then she just looked at us. Eventually one of the Primary teachers stepped in and fed Avery some lines. Afterward I asked her why she didn't give the prayer by herself. And her response was I didn't want you there. Forget the parent support. An experience for the journal.

Logan striking his best dance pose - no he was just excited about the balloon.

Logan doing what he does best - taking off his shoes and socks.

Beautiful Avery.

She was so excited to go to church that day because it was Valentine's Day.

Valentine's Day Party

Avery decided she wanted to have a Valentine's Day Party. It was so fun to have some of Avery's friends over. We played Valentine's Day games and decorated cupcakes.

Only eating the icing off the cupcake. That's my favorite part too:)

Avery was so proud of the cupcake she decorated.

The girls being "silly".
