~The Big Hunt~

Wow! Look at all those eggs! Addi, Dax, and Tate had so much fun on their big hunt around the house! Here are all the eggs they found.

Wake up Addi! She was excited the Easter Bunny even hid eggs in her room while she was sleeping!

Dax couldn't run fast enough to get his eggs. He just couldn't figure out, "how could the Easter Bunny reach so high to hide those eggs?"

Tate didn't care how many eggs he found on the hunt. As long as he has one to play with. He even figured out how to open them (by throwing them) then he would stuff his mouth as fast as he could with jelly beans. He looked like a little chipmunk, but he loved it!

The final result.

Here is the final result from coloring Easter eggs. The kids were so into this and had so much fun! They want to do it again real soon!

Addi was very into making her eggs look pretty. She liked to leave them in the dye for a long time so they would be really dark.

Dax thought it was great fun coloring Easter Eggs! He just kept forgetting to set them down carefully so we didn't have cracked eggs. Needless to say, we had lots of cracked eggs, but that's ok, he had a great time and we just had a little bit of colored eggs on the inside too!

Our first zoo trip of the year was to Hogle Zoo. (March 27, 2009) It was a cool day, but very beautiful. The kids had a great time!

Is every animal a dog?

Here is Tater with Grandma Lindy. He was pointing at every animal saying, "doggie, doggie" and "oooohhh". He was so excited! He still says doggie to every animal he sees.

The Elephants

Here we are at Hogle Zoo. The kids were impressed with the elephants. Dax was especially interested in how they pick up food with their trunk and put it in their mouth.

Opening the cubbards... a new adventure!

We now have elastics around most of our cubbard knobs. Tate loves to get in them and pull everything out!! Sometimes I let him just to entertain him. He was even pulling out casserole dishes and breaking them, oops! It was sure fun! Just look at the mischief in that face!

Addi is such a good big sister. Whenever Tate is crying she will pick him up or take him what he needs. One thing Tate likes to do is sit with Addi in the big chair while she watches TV. He especially likes it because Addi gives him the remote to play with. Dax tries his hardest to be like Addi and always help with Tate. Sometimes he tries a little too hard. Thanks for your help guys!
