Easter Vacation

This Easter was full of tons of family fun! My sister's family was able to make the drive down from WA to come see our new baby girl, and the rest of us too:)....

Unfortunately I don't have a single picture of Easter Sunday, but we had a huge family gathering at my parents house. The gathering included: My Mom and Dad and Grandma; my brother Chris and his wife Katie, her parents, grandma, and sister Kristi; my sister Alissa, her husband Erik, their kids: Conner, Katherine, and Isabella; me, Nate, Alex and Anna, Nate's parents, sister Katie, sister Heidi and her husband Vijay, and their kids: Rachel and Jonathan! I think I remembered everyone:). We had amazing food, an Easter Egg Hunt for the kids, and sang song around the piano as Great Grandma Richardson played.

Enjoy some pictures from the rest of the week:


Monday we had a Picnic at the park by our house in Mountain House. It was really fun and my cousin Renee and her 4 kids joined us!

Alex recently discovered the sand pit and absolutely loves it:-)

Our second to last stop was at the Ritz Carlton. Here's Uncle Chris and Auntie Katie

Our final stop was at Starbucks:)! Yahoo! I know I can always count on Alissa's vote for that! :) And I needed a place to feed Anna before the long drive home.

April 7th - Celebrating 3 Years!

Grandma Joyce (Mama) and Grandpa Fred (Boppa) watched the kiddos for us so we could go out to celebrate our 3rd anniversary!



Ah- a blissful dinner with no children! We love our little ones, but WOW, it was WONDERFUL to enjoy an evening without them:). Nate and I agree we need to do it more often!


Does Mud Taste Good???

Here is Alexander having fun in the dirt...



Time to get cleaned up...


The New Do

So this was a while ago now, but I just had to share Alex's hair cut! I had been bugging Nate for quite some time, and he finally gave in. We buzzed it! We were both sad after- his long beautiful hair was gone. But the next day, Sunday, March 28th, Nate had fun styling the little tike's new do:). See below.
