Drew's Best Friend Chester

Drew just can't get enough of Chester, Uncle Damien's Chocolate lab. She follows him around the house, hugs him, lays by him, she just can't get enough of him. She always asks if she can have a dog like Chester, but maybe a little smaller. She is so good to him and has such a kind heart for all animals. When we go out to "The Country" Drew always wants to hang out with the dogs, follow the cats around and pet and feed the horses.

Meet baby Rylin

Happy Easter!!
We spent the Easter weekend at Doug and Cheryl's. We got to meet welcome new baby Rylin Lee to the family. He is so precious. Great-Grandma Doris has another 4th generation to add. Paige and Cayden had a great time tickling each other with some encouragement from Grandpa Doug. Grandma Cheryl and Grandpa Doug were great hosts for the weekend.

Dying Easter Eggs

Kelley and Ian came over to dye Easter eggs. They turned out great!! Drew and Ian worked so hard and were really careful with the eggs. Thanks for coming over Ian and Kelley. Hopefully next year Paige can join in on the fun, she was taking a nap.

Just hanging out

I found Drew and Paige hanging out behind a little table we have. I thought it was pretty sweet so I got out the camera. Paige was trying to give Drew kisses, but Drew didn't want to get slobbered. I hope they'll cherish each other forever.

Gymnastics

Drew had a lot of fun at gymnastics again this winter, she really perfected her somersault. It is only 6 times at the end of March through April, we sometimes wish it was longer. This is Drew saying her "Tah Dah" At the end after everyone clapped for her she took a graceful bow. If I would have known there was more to the show I wouldn't have put the camera down. Drew is our little drama girl.

Pasghetti

Paige must have been Italian in a different life. She loves pasghetti as Drew says. Lasagna is another one of her favorites. Paige had two helpings this night and after I started cleaning her up, she even started eating the noddles that dropped into her bib. She is our good little messy eater.

The cousins had a great time playing together and celebrating Gage's 4th Birthday. He had a construction theme. Gage picked a great menu, tacos and "Dirt" cake. They even had a pull pinata~ construction cone, tool belts and construction safety glasses. They even got to have a slumber party and Grandpa Robbie and Grandma Kathy's. They slept in the big closet, by choice with the turtle and ladybug that lights up. Great party Gage!!

Mackenzie's Senior Prom

I can't believe Mackenzie is already a Senior!! Here she is on her big Prom night with friend Kristen, they look amazing!! The guys look pretty sharp too.

Reading Awareness Day

I took Ian and Drew up to Reading Awareness Day. They had several activities for the kids including book walk, story time, face painting, create your own story, and more. Curious George was even there. Ian and Drew had a great time.
