More fun with the McLaughlins

While the cousins were here, the kiddos all enjoyed riding various forms of transportation... Here are a "few" pics of all of our fun together:






On Sunday we went to church, then Uncle Aaron stopped by and we raced Scooters. After that we went for our first hike of the season:





Of note, Bumpa was also here this weekend, but he just had some extensive dental work done and didn't want a lot of pictures taken. Here's one I snuck in of him reading a story to Ada:


Here we are back from church:





(Our hike...)








Today we went to the park. The kids had a blast!







We sure are going to miss them when they're gone! Come back soon to play again Ada and RJ!

One more thing...
Cameron, our aspiring photographer, took this picture of Lexi and wanted to make sure that it made it on the blog:

Jump'n with the Cousins

Josh and Shelby came for one last visit before Josh leaves for Boot Camp. Today we took the kiddos to a fun place where they all got to burn a lot of energy! (Yay!) Here are a few pics:

Happy Easter!

Lexi was SUPER excited to get her custom-made dress in the mail from Aunt Sarah. Here she is trying it out for the first time:


We had a small Easter egg hunt, which the kiddos loved. Here are a couple pics:






Hope you all had a great Easter!

Ready for Easter!

We decided to indulge our creative side and have some fun getting ready for Easter. We started by dying and decorating some Easter eggs... Most survived with only minimal mess. Cameron actually did great with the dye! Here are a few pics:






Next we made and then decorated some Easter cookies... well, we tried to keep the frosting and sprinkles on the cookies... TRY being the operative word. The important part is that the kiddos had fun! Here are a few more pics:












Lexi is tired... turns out being creative (and eating 5 lbs of frosting) really takes it out of you!

Now we wait for the Easter Bunny to come!
