Hippity Hoppity Easter's on its way!

A little birdie told me Taylor and Addyson would be at Nana and Grampy's this weekend, so guess where Tim and I were??? =P Friday Heather and Tyler met me in Ankeny and we did a little shopping, then we were off to Ames. We went to Happy Joes on Friday night and there were LOTS of tickets won! (I'm pretty sure Timmy and Mike helped out a lot!)

Taylor feeding Uncle Timmy
After Happy Joes we were all worn out, so we watched Pineoccio (or however you spell it!). I had not seen that movie since I was little. I had forgotten how many times they say "stupid" and "shut up"!!

Saturday morning Wendi helped the kids make Resurrection tombs. They tasted and smelled yummy! (although, sadly, part of Jesus was still in the tomb, opps!)

Tyler is ALL boy! That kid can make SO many fighting/war noises!
Then we were off to the Easter Egg hunt! It was fun, but COLD and WINDY!

Taylor loved, and I mean LOVED the real bunnies. The "Easter bunny," not so much. She almost clawed me to death trying to get away from it!


Addyson of course went straight for the coloring table!





Hunting for eggs is HARD work!! Good thing there are uncles who love to snuggle!!




He's gonna be a wonderful daddy someday!!


Taylor getting a ride from Grandpy

Timmy and I...I have decided I will never get a "normal" picture with him!


Tim and Addyson playing the music tune thing at Reiman Gardens

Tyler looking for some eggs

They were skipping along, talking about the gay marriage law. They are SO weird sometimes!

I'm pretty sure Taylor is saying "was that??" Since she says it 959 times a day!

Heather and Michael...it's almost as hard to get a normal picture of them as it is Tim and I!

Brotherly love!

Tonight was the Easter Musical at our church. It's called The Tale of the Three Trees. It's really a childrens' musical, but we adults thought we would have more fun doing it! It was such a blast! It's the neatest musical. One that makes you laugh and laugh, but then drives home the point at the end and makes you bawl! We video taped it if anyone wants to see it!

We are singing about our dreams, and seeing past the forrest for the trees

I think I am saying "Leaf me alone, get it leaf???" This play has a lot of my kind of humor in it!

The whole cast...my uncle was the woodcutter and he did a rap. We wore our shades and did a little dancing!

Time for a quick family photo. The one with the Axe is my uncle (Woody the Woodcutter), my mom is on the left, then there's me (Stump), my brother's girlfriend Erin (Annibelle), and my aunt (Sappy). Does this help you understand why I am who I am????

Early this morning I got a call from Jenny telling me that her water had FINALLY broke and she was ready to have Grace!!!

Grace Ester Wood entered the world at 10:48 AM.

Caleb LOVES his baby sister!! He told me he was so glad that she finally came out!!!

Auntie Tarica with baby Grace! She is SO cute!! Poor girl has a bruised up face from a fast delivery, but she is still beautiful!

Tim with Grace...he's a natural!!

After this weekend, I am READY for bed!!!!! I'm drinking some tea, and heading to bed!

What great pictures! I enjoyed reading your post and laughed when you said Taylor says "wazt that?" 959 times a day. She repeats everything over and over until she thinks about something else.

Hope you recover from the weekend quickly.

I think you should put the tree video plan on youtube.

Thanks for the pictures of the "cake" and me and Jackson - really good of Jackson - really bad of me - oh, well! I think you should be in charge of making this cake!

Saw your comments on Mandy's blog. Hope she continues on with it!
