Easter Extravoganza 2011!

We had such a fun Easter weekend! Tyson had to work, but we still found ways to have fun and

include Daddy in our Easter festivities. Our weekend started out on Saturday with the
Herriman Easter hunt. This is our 3rd year going to this hunt and, as always, it didn't disappoint! The kids had a blast! They got lots of treats and played a ton!
Next we packed up some camping gear and headed south. We went with the Tho family to Jill's family party. Since our hubbies were at work Jill decided to bring us along and we had so much fun! The kids rode bikes, rode in the Rhino, and ran around like crazy! It was fun to just hang out and watch the guys blow stuff up...literally! They were blowing up "star targets" (a.k.a. bombs!) with high powered riffles and shooting off bowling balls with a cannon made for just that! It was seriously so much fun! Top that off with a delicious dutch oven dinner and an Easter egg hunt and you get one fantastic day! Thanks again Hardy/ Tho family for such an awesome time!

On Easter morning the kids woke up to some treats, toys, and a note from the Easter Bunny himself! Then we got ready and headed to the Fire Station were the Bunny left all of the kids loot! We ate a delicious breakfast and then the kids headed out to find a gazillion eggs (seriously, there were over 800 eggs for 11 kids!) and their baskets. The kids made a haul and had a ton of fun playing with their fire station family. I didn't take to many pics there because I was to busy chasing around kids, but I think the Easter Bunny is trying to one up Santa Clause because the kids got a TON for Easter! ( To much cute stuff, I couldn't resist!)

At lunch time we headed to my parents house for more fun Easter gifts and a yummy lunch. And last but not least we went to G & G McQuistons house for more food and family fun!

All in all Easter weekend was a ton of fun! Hopefully Tyson will be off next year so he can enjoy more of it with us! (Although we did enjoy the Fire Station holiday!)

All 4 kiddos in the Rhino!

Gav rode his 4-wheeler til the batteries died!

Cam has become quite the bike rider... now he
says he wants to ride a dirt bike... Eeekkk!

Gav playin' in the dirt!

Cam was fascinated with the "bombs". He sat and

watched the guys make them and asked a ton of
questions! Hopefully he wasn't to annoying!

Gav was so funny to watch. He sat there and
watched the other kids half the time... such an

observer!

I made these little treats for the kids

at the station and the cousins. They were

little rice crispy nests with peeps and

jelly beans inside!

Sugar cookies of course... this is less than half
of them!

Easter Bunny surprise! The note said " Put on your

shades and hop on down to your daddys fire station.

I left you some special surprises there! Love, the

Easter Bunny!"

Cam and Gav were so excited!

Cm on the hunt!

Hunting all around the fire station and in the

bays!

Spring Soccer 2011!

Camden had his last soccer game today and he was so sad. He had a rough start, but turned out to be quite the little soccer player and ended up loving it! We will have to sign him up to play again since he had so much fun! Maybe outdoor next time!

He is super fast!

Showing his team how many goals they had scored!

Listening to coach

Last cheer!

Showing off his medal!

Cam and Josh Showing what they got!

Bray came to Cams last game! He was so excited!

Fireman Day 2011

This past Thursday was Fireman Day at Camdens preschool. Ty was the main event, and like last year, he did a fantastic job! He was even able to bring a fire engine to the school again this year which is always they highlight of the day!

Full turn outs... he only made a couple kids cry this year!

Everyone getting their chance in some gear.

Teaching the kids about the fire engine, with

Gavin in tow of course!

Cam and his Daddy! He was

one happy little man showing off

his Dad!

So Handsome!

After all of the kids were gone Cam got to go on

a ride around the neighborhood in the engine!

So cool!

Classic Playgroup!

Classic skating... wow, do you remember this place? Getting dropped of by your parents strapping on your skates and hoping a boy picks you during the "snowball" skate (even though we all claimed that it was lame and we really didn't want a boy to ask us!)! Good old Jr High memories! We took the kids to Classic for playgroup and they had a blast! My boys especially liked riding their bike and scooter around the track. So fun! Can't wait to go again!

Gav was such a dare devil he kept wanting to go off

this jump and kept many onlooking moms on their

toes... all but me! I figure if he falls, he falls. It only takes once to learn your lesson, right? At least that's

what I hope!

Cam kept lapping Gav... he is so fast!

Using our tokens!

Kiss Me, I'm Irish!

How could you resist kissing these cute faces? No pinching here... just smooches! Happy Late St. Patricks Day!
