He is Risen!

we had quite an easter weekend in north carolina!  our friends the aldingers came up for a visit so we were very busy!  we had a blast dying eggs and decorating cookies.  we also went to a special egg hunt at the beech mountain rec center.  amy and i wrote our very own easter play and the three of us girls performed it for everyone!  we played the wii one night and also played outside for a little while in the little snow we had left.  the bunny did make a stop at our house.  he filled our baskets with goodies and hid them and lots of candy stuffed eggs.  we all enjoyed finding eggs together and did a great job helping and sharing.            

    

   

 

 

the weekend before easter mommy, ryne and i went down to south carolina for a quick weekend visit at the huffs.  colby and kylie also spent the weekend there so we all got to play!  the weather was very rainy so we were inside, but we had a blast anyway.  we played a game on the wii call just dance and i loved it!  we also decorated eggs and went out for mexican and frozen yogurt.    

       

we had lots of snow again when we returned from down south. i have missed a lot of school and our makeup days have us going until at least june 7.  i am leaving for iowa june 4 so i will miss a few days.   

here are a few pictures of my brother and i on st paddys day.  we sure have fun being irish!

   

New toys!

This past weekend I got to buy Olivia's house from the Lego friends collection. I had been saving money for a long time to buy it so it is very special! I had it put together that afternoon and I play with it everyday!

Ryne also got a new toy. A late birthday present. It is a water table and it is fun to play with inside without water too! We haven't put the legs on it yet but that is ok since we like playing with it on the floor. The weather is not going to cooperate this week for us to play outside with it...more snow and cold temps! Spring, where are you???

My brother is a fruit!

Ryne tried grapefruit today and of course he likes it! We haven't come across a fruit that he doesn't like yet. So now mommy is not the only one in our house that eats grapefruit. She has to share now!

ryne is one!

we celebrated my brother’s first birthday last friday and it was great!  i had a two hour delay for school so we had time in the morning to open some presents and celebrate.  we got him little people wheelies and a buggy he can ride.  i made my brother a special book with pictures of him and made several cards for him.

 

 

     we had a little party in the evening too with cake, which ryne didn’t really care for. we think he was too full from dinner and also very tired. after his bath, we opened a few more presents and i also had a special party for him in my room before bed!      

  

i have had several snow days this year but we are hoping the winter weather is about over for the season.  we really enjoyed being outside this weekend.  fifty degrees felt quite nice!  i am very ready for spring to be here.  i have big plans to learn how to ride my new bike without the training wheels!
