2008 in Review - Winter Part 2

3-5-08
A surprisingly sunny day!

3-14-08

Daddy took Elissa on her first "official" date.
They went to the movies to see Horton Hears a Who.

Mommy even painted her fingers. :0)

Zach learns to growl.
I'm trying to get him on camera growling but Elissa won't get out of in front of the camera. You can hear him in between Elissa growling.

Easter Egg Race
Our community has an Easter Egg Race every year on the outer island. This is the first year that we have went. Last year Elissa got sick so we had to stay home. It is a big field and they draw four areas for four different age groups. They lay out plastic eggs filled with candy that all the homeowners brought to the office days before. This is why I call it a race instead of a hunt.
It was a lot of fun.

Here is Elissa and Cole with the (scary) Easter Bunny.

It didn't take Zach long to figure out what to do.

Grandpa Frink & Zach
Grandma Myrna was taking pictures for me.

The gang heading back to our house. Get the strollers moving!
Cole, Elissa, Grandma, Chase (not seen), Caden, Chad & Nana

I brought out eggs for the kids to color, but of course they lost interest fast. Chad is always left to finish and clean up. I start the projects and then have to run off to something else. :0)
Chad, Papa & Grandpa Frink

Papa got all the kids sucker rabbit teeth. Cute!

Caden & Zach getting better acquainted.

This is really the first that I have seen Zach playing with the "big kids". He is just over a year - getting to be such a big boy. He is no longer a baby. :0( The only thing "baby" left is his bottle. I'm not pressing him to let it go.

Easter Day
I bought the kids each a Longaberger basket on their first Easter. So now they will have these baskets for the rest of their life (whether they like it or not!). :0)

I love the hat and glasses...very retro. I love dressing her up. :0)

3-26-08

A tremendous amount of hail/snow came down. I can't believe this at the end of March.

I love this picture with the pink & white - Spring/Winter together.

3-27-08
More hail/snow.....

3-28-08

First we are playing dress up and then another freak hail storm.
We had crazy weather this Spring.

3-30-08

This is the scene I saw all Spring. Zach in the backpack on Darin's back. As soon as Darin got home Zach would want to get in the backpack so he could "follow" Daddy around. It was their special bonding time.
