More Pictures of 1st Communion Week-end






We all enjoyed hanging out together over the weekend and so I thought I'd add a few pictuers. The first is all the cousins oldest to youngest; Samantha, Kelli, Alex, Max, Sophia, Oliver, and Henry. The next pic is Randy holding both Oliver and Max. After that Sophia is taking a turn holding the two babies. She of course, dotted over both babies all weekend. She couldn't stop hugging and kissing them. Next is Aunt Coco and Henry the first time she saw him. And last is Kelli having a turn holding Henry, sitting by Max. It was a great weekend!

Alex's 1st Communion




This weekend was a very special weekend for Alex, he recieved his first Communion, Saturday. Aunt Sara, Uncle Eric, Oliver, Aunt Coco, Kelli, Aunt Kathy, Uncle Dale, and Samantha were all there to see him. In addition to recieve Communion for the first time, he also read one of the petitions. He did a great job for everything. It was beautiful, it was 88 out and was a great day for grilling and eating on the back patio. Alex said it was a really good day.

Playing Outside


This past week and a half (Holy Thurs. - today) Alex had spring break. He had a break full of fun; we all (except Randy) went to McDonalds for a morning of playing with some friends of ours in Tues. Wednesday Alex went into work with Randy and saw The Diary of Anne Frank, and Thursday he went to a friend's house. Today his break ended with having Clari and her mom over. All of the kids (minus Henry) played outside a lot!! It was a beautiful day for everyone to build sand castels, swing, play in the treehouse and just be outside. While Henry and the adults stayed inside. Here's a picture of the 4 busy kids

Happy Easter!



We had a fun, but very cold Easter. The kids found eggs that they had colored and the bunny hid first thing in the morning. Also at our house the Easter Frog comes and hides rocks for the kids to find. The frog has been know to leave various gifts, this year he left Alex a can of Sourcraut, and the rest of the kids each got a can of diced tomatoes (you'll have to ask Randy about the frog and his weird gifts). After that we went to church and then over to Aunt Kathy and Uncle Dale's for the rest of the day to celebrate with them and some of Dale's family. Hope you all had a great Easter too.
