Fun stuff...

A few fun pics....
Shauna and I took Logan, Ella, Mason, Mya and Ethan to the Gilbert House.  Naturally the kiddos had a blast!

the kiddos got soaking wet in the bubble room...

natural gardeners...agriculture is in the blood I suppose

and so is shopping...even if it is in a pretend grocery store

Ryan and I also made it to the Young Life auction this year....Our dearest buds Josh and Becca came too!  It is always a hoot to see Dan be the auctioneer.  This year he was cowboy Dan...Yeehaw!  Not only was it a blast, we got some really great stuff too!

We got $1 bills in our balloons this year.  A few years back we got the $100 bill in our balloon..It's hard to top that! 

Josh and Becca...

New Baby...

My best friend is having a baby.  Denee' (and her hubby Travis) are due on cinco de Mayo...and I am so stinkin' excited to find out if this sweet baby is a boy or a girl.  I am also so excited to see him (or her, but my insticts say him...) be born.  This will be my first time witnessing childbirth (other than my own if that counts).  Denee' is like a sister to me and we have been through a lot together. I am overjoyed to share this time with she and Travis. 

This past Sunday I went to one of Denee's baby showers.  She looks so incredibly amazing (as always)...she's a darling pregnant gal as you can well see.  She got great gifts! I got her a bunch of random stuff off her registry and stuffed the remainder of a large box with nursing pads.  It was pretty hilarious, even if I do say so myself.  Just a couple of weeks left.  Congrats Denee' and Travis.  I can't wait to meet the newest Kroeger.  Did I mention that I'm so excited?

Preganant ladies eat first! Especially at their own baby shower!

Together...

Dress that belly up with a bow!

Dress 'em up!

 Occasionally Logan, Mason and Mya bust out the dress up clothes!  Mya loves to dress up, so I have started buying 'boy-approved' dress-up clothes (aka not fairies and princesses) for Mason and Logan.  Logan has taken well to the fireman and railroad conductor outfits but I still have to work on keeping Mason out of the fairy and princess outfits.  Needless to say, Ryan doesn't love his sons wearing pink and purple dress-up clothes.  Even so, I think these pictures are PRICELESS!  In fact, they should probably be in a Mastercard commercial...

Nana and Papa got Mya this purse for Easter and she LOVES it! She has a mirror, lipgloss, keys and sunglasses in it....It's her newest prize posession.

We'll miss you!

This weekend Ryan and I took the kiddos up to Tacoma for a BBQ in honor of my brother who is leaving for Iraq.  It was sort of a mini family reunion too. We 'camped' in a cabin for the weekend .  The kiddos ran, played in rocks, explored EVERYTHING and Logan even got to do some fishing with his dadddy.  We had a really nice time.  These were a few of the highlights I just had to share...

The 'group shot'

The princess shared her ice cream cone with me!  How sweet...

A patriotic theme is only fitting, don't you think?

What's not to love about that smile?

and that one too! 

Right in front of our cabin was an unfinished walkway that quickly became a rock quarry for the boys.  PERFECT!

Fishing...unfortunately they came home empty handed!

Super...

Aren't these shirts a hoot? I found them at Wal-Mart for 5 bucks each...It's hard to tell in the picture but Mya's shirt has ruched sleeves and the S is pink with sparkles.  Mason's shirt has that 'old school' look.  Talk about great play shirts.  I also got them Batman ones similar to these. They weren't super excited about posing for a photo, but I just couldn't resist!

Good Morning God!

Good Morning God! This is your day. I am your child. Show me your way!

Out of the mouth of babes...Logan was singing this little tune around the house this morning (of course I jumped in too), what a blessing children are.

Lord, help me to remember the words of that little tune, remember what a blessing my children really are and cherish these precious, fleeting moments of life!

Click, click, click...

Imagine this as a slideshow of events over the last couple of weeks... Nothing too exciting, just enjoying the Easter season, spending time with friends, celebrating birthdays, and laughing really hard at our goofy kiddos!  They seriously get funnier and funnier each and every day (that's why I stuck some of the random photos in here)...Enjoy!

Ryan turns 32!

Mason thought celebrating daddy's birthday was pretty cool!  He found some crazy old sunglasses of Nana's in one of the kitchen drawers

We love play-dates with our good friends Kylie and Melia

This is my 'grill-friend' Melia

We painted Easter posters...

and the little kids made sticker scenes!

Later that week I made yummy Easter cookies with my cousin Ella

Logan's attention span for decorating cookies was minimal...but hey, they tasted great!

Logan at an Easter egg hunt with friends...

Logan and the Easter bunny

Family picture on Easter...no, the lake shouldn't look like that in April!

Ryan and I...

I didn't get a group photo of the kiddos on Easter (could have something to do with the fact that we left early because Mason puked all over) so I thought I would put this up so you could at least see their cute little outfits~

Mom (Grammy) turned 60!  We celebrated and made a fun banner that said "Still Wild at 60!"

I forgot to take a picture of the table (cheetah..wild...you get it right), so I threw this photo in here so you could see our  theme.  We got grammy navigation for her car!  Happy 60th birthday Mom...

too funny to keep out...

These two have the craziest antics....they are 100%  best friends!
