Weekend at Melinda's/Dad's 70th Birthday/Easter

Silly mask from Grandma

Playing choo-choo's with Grandpa on Melinda's so-close-to-being-done awesome new deck

Charlie was slightly obsessed with the mini picnic table, so he sat out in the middle of the yard with his snack so he could sit at it

(through a rainy window) Grandpa helping Charlie get ready for the Easter Egg hunt

Waiting to sign in for the Easter Egg Hunt.  They had over 4,000 eggs!!

The rain held off just long enough for the hunt

Hoarder

The sky cleared and we had a gorgeous night

Lauren and Charlie helping me make Grandpa's cake

My coconut macaroon, nutella, robin egg nests- delish!

We made dad cook his own dinner (he's by far the best griller)

Easter Morning

It's like Minnesota up in here!

Welcome to Spring!

No mind, Charlie still wanted to ride his bike no matter what...

We got like 7 inches...at the end of March.  And although the snow is great, we are in desperate need of the moisture and snow absorbs into the ground better than rain- this girl is ready for spring. I'm ready to start complaining about the heat!

I'm just glad he didn't scream.....

Not so into it....sorry for the picture quality, this is a scanned picture

Ready to Meet the Easter Bunny

Caught!

Sorry these are a bit blurry.  Ethan is getting interested in guitar so his dad was showing him some stuff and all three of them were messing around, it was so cute

So as I sat at the laptop watching basketball, I secretly was taking pictures

March Photo-A-Day - Catch Up - I suck

So, I've done awesome at the photo a day, let's play catch up....

Day 13 - A Treat -Riding his Strider (obsessed) when it's only 35 degrees (but no more snow on the ground)

Day 14 - share-  got nothin'...I guess we don't share around here.  Day 15 - Tiny - this is the coat we 'gave' B & E for Christmas to let them know they had a little brother on the way...oh, that was so fun!

Day 16 - Sun Ray - I took two, couldn't decide

Day 17 - Green - Love my Shamrocks....

Day 18 -  Where I went - Well, we don't go anywhere, so I guess here??

 

Day 19 - On My Floor - Yet again, Charlie really needs to start potty training.  He wets through his PJs and soaks his whole bed all.the.time.  The arrow is to the silk slip I'm letting him sleep with because I couldn't get his blanket washed on time, and the boy needs his silkie to sleep (I get it).  However, it's hilarious to see my son sleeping face flat on mom's slip in the morning

Day 19 - Above - Above my couch. This was my heritage table at our wedding that I added to. 1) My favorite picture of my mom and her twin sister when they were kids 2) My maternal grandparents on their wedding day 3) The most amazing picture of my grandmother when she was 4 (1911) 4) Fantastic picture of my step-mother's parents, who were amazing grandparents 5)  Matt's paternal grandparents on their wedding day 6) My dad and step-mom on their wedding day 7) The greatest picture ever of the McAuley siblings from our wedding day 8) My favorite picture of our little fam in the U.P. 9) Matt's maternal Grandfather - this man was honored my the military for having the largest family 10) Matt's maternal grandmother - this woman had 16 children! 11) Smoochin' my hubs at the wedding 12) Matt's gorgeous Mom's high school photo 13) Matt's Dad's Navy photo 14) The most awesome picture of my paternal grandparent's sneaking behind the mess hall right before they got married 15) My mother and father's wedding 16) Matt and my feet kneeling at our wedding (Matt wrote on the bottom of his shoes Matt + Mollie 4 ever) 17-19) the pictures B got me for Christmas of our three gorgeous children
