Spring Hunting

And we're back.  Did you miss us? Yeah, it's been awhile since our last post but we were out of town for spring break and arrived home to find out our Internet wasn't working.  We had to wait a few days for someone to come to the house and fix the problem.  Just a reminder that we have no idea how we all survived and functioned before the Internet.  I guess it is one thing to live in a world that doesn't have the Internet, it is entirely different when you live in a world where everything is on the Internet and you can't get to it.

First of all I took Jameson in for his 3 month pictures

Tongue out, check!

Look at those eyelashes!  When I grow up I want to have eyelashes like Jameson.

 One side of his mouth goes up first sometimes when he smiles. 

He also has one eyebrow that will go up higher then the other at the beginning of a smile.

For spring break this year we headed south to visit Adam's family.  Adam has 3 sisters, 1 brother, 2 Grandmothers, and his parents in the same town so there is never a shortage of people to visit. We were there for a week and never had a dull moment.

Jameson was very dutiful and smiled on demand. Love that kid.

 

Korinne had a big week.  She lost her front tooth!

She is starting to look so grown up to me these days.

Here is Adam's "smoulder" look. (Think Flynn in "Tangled")

Sorry ladies, he's taken.

The weather was pretty good while we were there.  Some days were better then others, but it was nice to get out our short sleeve shirts from the back our our closets.

Our good friends and neighbors were also in town for the week at a condo with a pool so we crashed their party and took the kids swimming on 2 of the days we were there.

Thanks Josh and Carrie!

Jameson got to meet a lot of cousins and was really good for the trip.  Here he is with his cousin Dallin who is within 2 months in age.

On the way home we stopped at my parents for a night so we could participate in a few Easter Egg hunts.  My sister Heather's family also came into town so the kids were able to spend time with more cousins.

All lined up youngest to oldest for the hunt at Grandma's.

Thank goodness for Grandma's willingness to dye eggs with the kids or my kids would have been deprived of the experience for yet another year.

The next day was Grandma's Ann big Easter Egg hunt for the great-grands.  The weather was great, but it snowed the day before so the kids had to find the eggs in the snow.

I have 34 cousins on that side of the family so even with only a small portion of these cousins in attendance, it still makes for a lot of great-grands.  It's the only time of year we all still get together.

Here is our family with Grandma Ann

The hunt took place on what would have been my Grandpa's 98th birthday and the first one he has missed.

After the party it was time to go home. We were gone for a week and packed a lot of stuff in, but eventually you've got to jump back into the daily routine.

Yes, it's back to life, back to reality. . .
