April Birthdays!

To celebrate everyone's April birthday (all except me, I celebrated my 1/2 birthday), we headed to Grayson, Jason and Brett's house. I love seeing these two play together. They pay close attention to what the other one is doing. We were all impressed that they actually sat and ate!

Sitting in the time out chair together.



We're remaking our picture from last year...and a million years ago...

"IT'S MY BIRTHDAY!"

Good Morning Sunshine!
Sidney Kate woke up to HAPPY BIRTHDAY...possibly off key, but we sang it loud!
She then put her head back down...haha.
After she was dressed she walked down the hall to a birthday surprise!

Wow!

Balloons she said!

She had some friends waiting for her...hello Cookie Monster hello Elmo!

The Bean Stalk @ Brett's Party!

Okay, so there is this really cool 2 floor + bean stalk that we all immediately wanted to climb. But, we're thinking "kid's place"-us big ol adults aren't allowed. Well Uncle Josh asked and they said ANYONE!!
So check out the pictures to see who went up!

I heard this one was a tight squeeze!

AWESOME!

More Magical Fun @ Brett's Party

That's my girl!! Get those doughnuts!

So fun!

What you can't see is Aunt Jill giving the hand signals. I dare say these 3 make a pretty good team!

Thanks Uncle Josh!! I so wanted a picture of her on this V...
:)

Brett Turns 2!! Continued

Seriously, what a great place to visit! Daddy and Sidney Kate were all over the place and I was quick behind with the camera. Next time I'm playing too and the camera can stay at home. :)

So she milked the cow for a second and I missed it...but she went back to help Daddy.

She was a little homemaker in Abe's cabin...she offered us both some of her yummy treats.

This face was taken in the Krispy Kreme part...she is her parents child!

Brett Turns 2!!

Our best birthday buddy Brett turned 2 three days before Sidney Kate and we all went to celebrate! Pucker up!

He was very excited over his cake and yelled for Saul to see it. Glad he was so happy!

Party people! Grayson and Jason had his party at the most fun place around! The kids had just enough attention to last for the hour party and then plenty more to take them through the 2 stories of fun!

This is so like something on Yo Gabba Gabba! Uncle Josh had to get all technical on us, but Sidney Kate just liked that she could make music by sticking her arm in it. :)

...

I don't even want to talk about this one...

It's cute, that's all...

Dyeing Easter Eggs

As packed as Easter Sunday was for us, we managed to make our rounds AND dye eggs! The Easter Bunny visited SKV at Grandma and Grandpa Hauser's house too, lucky girl!

Dyeing eggs with Grandma...the child wanted to put her fingers in her mouth after getting dye on them. Yak!

So proud of her work!

Cheese!

First Marion Easter Egg Hunt

So we missed the Hauser Easter Egg Hunt, due to a sleepy baby, but we got a call about a last minute planned Marion Easter Egg Hunt! Woo hoo!! Uncle Donald had a great idea to have an Easter Egg Hunt at Grandpa Marion's house. That way he (our 94 year old Grandpa) could see the kids and watch the hunt if he wanted.
Here are some of the hunters. (The entire massive family wasn't there, but we had fun!)

Some of the "old folks" as I called them. (I sure got some looks for that comment!)

And the hunt was on! Uncle Donald gave strict instructions that all obvious eggs were SKV's. Those older kids were so sweet with her-they gladly let her have all she wanted. Bryce was her new big buddy. (see first picture) Bryce would find eggs and throw them in front of SKV. Does it get any sweeter?!



Inside each egg was money! One special pink egg held a dollar. (Way to go Morgan!)
Sidney Kate got right under $2 and Bryce gave her some on top of that.
I hope we can do it again next year!

First Marion Easter Egg Hunt Continued

So someone (Grandma) hid eggs under the fake geese. Sidney Kate asked both geese to "move" (nicely, of course) and when they didn't someone had to pick them up for her. Thanks Jan!

Who would be sneaky enough to hide that yellow egg in this yellow bush? Uncle Donald?!
Can you see it?!

Part of the clan on their hunt!

Everyone that came to the hunt. (Crazy people) :)

First Marion Easter Egg Hunt Continued...Again

SKV, Papa and her big find! Twelve eggs!

So...funnies thing ever!! Sidney Kate looked at Connie so much during the hunt, with a very confused look on her face. Can you see why? Could they look anymore alike? She walked up to Connie on several occassions just like she does Grandma.(You're welcome for the up close shot ladies!)
**Somehow this post didn't take the first time, but don't worry-I fixed it! hehe!!

The hunters with Grandpa.A collective, "Awww!"
