Spring Break

queen of the jungle gym
"hi mommy"
it was VERY windy but warm
Raegan's first "swing at a park"
Ethan wanted glasses for his eyes so he had to borrow mommy's
the boys all made a tent one night in the basement and slept in it
Avery was introduced to Millsbury's and was constantly begging for computer time


We just got back this afternoon from spending the week with Grandma and Grandpa Neir in Hutchinson. The kids went non-stop and got some good outdoors time. Mommy got some good hanging out time and ate way too much! It's too fun to eat while your hanging out with family. One of the nights Susan and i were trying to get motivated to go running when my dad brought $ out for a sonic run which put a big dent in our motivation to run and put a little more motivation in getting a lemon berry cream slush and mozzarella sticks! My mom finally said "well why don't you girls just run to sonic and i will meet you there in the car", so we did and didn't feel quite as guilty eating our quadrillion calories for the night-ok so mabye a bit of an exageration but probably not much!

Raegan fell in love with Gramma and always had her eyes on her along with a big smile. Grandma and Grandpa both got initiated on Raegan's wonderful blow-out diapers one of the days. Ethan blessed everyone with his wonderful 2 yr old attitude the last couple of days (although i don't think he is feeling too great) Thank you Aunt Susan for reading him his airplane book-say mabye 100 times? :)

Uncle Greg watched the kids one night so that us girls could go out (he is always so nice about doing that-Thanks Greg!) and when we got back he was helping Ethan do donuts in the little play car. Ethan went flying and hopped out and wanted right back in. I think Uncle Greg may have been just a little worn out?? :)

There is nothing like hanging out at home! Thanks Grandpa and Grandma for letting us come invade your house for the week! We had a great time!
