Random pics of my crazy kids

Ok, really this is mainly about Benjamin, but I had to share these pics even though there wasn't an appropriate category.

 

I'm hoping this is one of the few times I'll ever see him on a motorcycle!

This is Benjamin's idea of playing with his trucks...lining them up in a row. Remind you of a little girl at Christmas time?

Benjamin's teacher sent this to me from one day this summer. He was really enjoying his lunch!

Drew sent this to me while ME and I were working at KOTA Camp. The message said "I'll teach you to leave me behind".

My parents always get the kids on Wednesday since Dandy is usually off.

Don't you think they need a few more kiddos to add into the group? :)

Proud big cousins

My kiddos sure do love getting to hang out with their grandparents. But they love it even more now that they get to be the "big kids" with their cousin, Annie!

 

Mother's Day gifts for our mommas

I had to show the closeups of what we gave LaLa and VeVe for Mother's Day. I love how they turned out!

2012 Mother's Day

Now that we're finally settled into our house, we thought it was a perfect chance to have Mother's Day lunch at our house for our FABULOUS moms! Drew did a great job with preparing everything...he even set the table for us!

Dandy and his little girls

We finally have a place for everyone to sit!

Well...almost everyone. :)

I love that Kari found this cute idea on Pinterest!

Ben Ben is always needing to have some camera time

Not too bad for a family pic!

ME is such a party planner
After lunch, she wanted us to all play games...first up was leg wrestling with her brother

Then, ME wanted us to play her "Daddy's bag game in the front yard (aka Baggo)". Benjamin had to demonstrate how to properly play Baggo and go over the rules with us.

Benjamin is a pro at Baggo. Of course, the fire boots add extra assistance in his playing skills.

He is risen indeed!

Magically the Easter Bunny figured out where we've been staying and filled the kids Easter Baskets! They were so excited this morning to see that the bunny really did come to Brant and Kari's house. I know that the kids don't really understand the purpose of the holiday, but it sure is fun to see their excitement, to go to church with family, and spend time with family. ME is starting to comprehend that Jesus died on the cross and that He's somewhere up there...guess I need to work on the meaning a little more!

Benjamin proudly showing off his candy!

ME claiming her candy-filled eggs.

Annie got to enjoy her first Easter, too.

 

ME sure does love some makeup!

I guess the Easter Bunny heard that Benjamin didn't have any boy costumes in McKenzie's playroom or at school. Check out the cutest "Pooperman" (aka Superman)!

McKenzie let Kari put a bow in her hair this morning and she still had it in after church!

LaLa got all of the kids these stickon mustaches. Aren't they cute?

  

The trio enjoying all of their loot from the egg hunt.

Since Annie couldn't participate in the egg hunt, she got to just chill. I think she looks pretty cool with a mustache. ;)

After we had lunch at LaLa and Dandy's house, we went back to Brant and Kari's. The kids went straight to playing with their basket goodies.

The Pooperman was rescuing his Sissy.
