Cassi's Graduating!!!!

I'm not sure if Madi can stay upright holding on to that big basket full of eggs.

Jade is putting all her effort into opening her Easter present.


Easter Fun in Wenatchee

We really had those eggs surrended. None of them got away either.

Fun times!

See you soon.

Easter at Bud's (cont)

With all those fun pictures of the kids, I had to include a couple of the parents and Grandpa Bud. We had a fun Easter, too!:)
 

Easter with Grandpa Bud

Dexter, Eve, Ashlyn, Truman, and Emma are anxiously awaiting their Easter Egg Hunt in Grandpa's "backyard".
Mom and Emma pose for a "windy" Easter picture.
After a successful hunt, the kids show off their spiffy sunglasses (please note Eve's glasses).
The picture says it all.:) 

Easter Presents from Grandma & Grandpa

Thank you Grandma & Grandpa! Love Ashlyn & Emma

Our Favorite Girls

Emma has discovered her feet, and we love it. This is one of Mom's favorite "Emma Positions".
Isn't she cute?
Almost every morning begins with Ashlyn waking up between 6:30 and 7:00 and joining Mom and Dad in bed. Emma wakes up soon after to have breakfast in bed with Mom. The morning ritual usually ends with Ashlyn holding Emma. Though it may be early, as you can see from the picture, it makes for a pretty enjoyable morning. Who wouldn't love waking up to these two adorable faces? 

Grandpa's Workshop

Hi gang! Itook a couple of pictures to show Grampa Bud what my shop looks like so I thought I would share them on the blog as well. I now have a place for all my fun power tools and a place to make fun things for my kids and grandkids. I am now in the process of organizing my tools and stuff in the right drawers, 16 feet of cabinets and peg board wall. Fun, fun, fun! You all need to come up for a guided tour. Love you all. Dad

Springer Potpourri

This one is for Dad! Thanks for your help! Scott left on a business trip and I was left to tie Garrett's tie all on my own. Had to call Dad for emergency tie tying lesson. It is way too short, but there was no way I was going to do it again! These are the kids matching Easter outfits! So much fun!

Our trip to Whistler, Canada (although not FRANCE! WOW to the Pope's!) Was very fun and a total blast. I think our favorite part of the whole trip was sleeping the whole night, without any interruptions, traveling 9 hours in the car without a single fight, or "she's touching me" (well, except the one huff I got into because I thought Scott got into the slowest lane at the border crossing.... hey I didn't say that all 3 year old behavior got left behind =). We skiied, ate great food, enjoyed a fantastic room, and all together celebrated 10 wonderful years of married bliss (well, 98.7% bliss)

Aubrey had a great princess birthday. Mom and Dad, Ty and Adria and Family came down for the festivities. All the kids dressed up in their Princess (or knight in Garrett's case) best. What fun!

We had a leprachaun visit our house on St Patty's Day. It turned all our food green! This picture was just a classic, had to share!

France Trip - Eiffel Tower

The famous Eiffel Tower with the Popes. Plus at Notre Dame.

France Trip - The land of Romance

This is on the boat tour. We heard from Mom and Dad that you have to kiss under every bridge and you get good luck. There were 22 bridges we crossed under and we didn't miss a single one. :-D

France Trip - Cont'd

The first is our tiny, tiny hotel room and the second is us trying to fit into the elevator with our things the first day. And then it is a picture of our first siting of the Eiffel Tower.

France Trip - Mountains, Mountains, Mountains

These are some amzing views from the top of the resort as well as a picture of us in the little village of Chamonix early one morning.

France Trip - French Ski Bums!

This is us actually skiing in Chamonix. This is at the top of the mountain.

France Trip - Hotel in Chamonix, France

This is our little hotel in Chamonix. We started our France trip here and our room was...on the small side but it was all good. As you can see, the mountains are a beautiful backdrop.

Great Grandma

We visited with Great Grandma Gundersen yesterday, and she looked great! Emma loved getting to know her Great Grandma. We sure had a fun time!

Happy Birthday, Misty!

We love you, Aunt Misty! Have a happy, happy birthday!!
