We finally broke down and got the kids their new trikes. They were so excited to see them and spent all day on them. Can't quite pedal yet, but are scooting around like pros! 
Dancing with Daddy. Nothing better than family time with tons of giggles from everyone! The best part of having kids! 
We took the kids out to visit my brother Paul and they got to love on his dog. He is HUGE, but very gentle and the kids loved to be outside with him. It was very cute.
They also found their Aunt Hollie's lotion. Paul kept telling me to relax and just let them look around...see what happens! They figured out how to get the lid off and helped themselves to the lotion inside! On the bright side, they sure smelled pretty! :) 
Aubrey all dressed up for the birthday party we had for my great-niece Shayla who is visiting from Arizona. It was a busy weekend full of family and we had a great time with everyone! 
All the cousins. Amya, Shayla holding Madisyn, Italy, Spencer and Aubrey. Spencer sure knows how to add his own boyish touch to a picture of his beautiful girl cousins. Still is pretty cute though! 
Shayla about to blow out her 11 birthday candles! Happy Birthday Miss Shayla!! 
Anxiously waiting for cake! 
We went to the Berries, Brews, & BBQ festival in St. Paul, OR on Saturday and had such a good time. The kids loved doing something out of the ordinary and we had a great time just getting out! This was the slide they had set up. They had to climb up the hay bales and then slid down the tube. They needed help getting into the tube, but did great from that point on. Dean ended up staying up there and waiting for them to run around and get back up. We spent a good chunk of time on the slide. 
They also rode the Piggy Barrel ride. It was pulled by a young man on a tractor, who's name was also Spencer. They did a great job at staying seated and didn't even get upset when they rode away out of sight from us.
They also loved the animals. Neither one of them hesitated to put their hands in the cage to try to feed them. Last year they weren't sure if they should be afraid or not...what a difference a year makes.
The kids and I on the hayride. Before we got on the hayride, every time it would pass us Spencer would wave at it. He definitely has farmer in his heart!

It didn't take long for Spencer to see the blue necklace he dropped just before he started "helping" and the lesson was over.
They got involved after the dyeing when it was time to put the stickers on the eggs. They love their stickers.
It was rainy on Easter Sunday, so we did the egg hunt inside Dean's Mom's house. They did pretty good finding all the eggs, I was surprised by it actually.
