Here's Trista going down the slide. She finally got up the courage to try going down the slide on her belly.

Kairi swinging. I thought it looked kind of

cool, as Brian leaned back he had no head!

PLAY TIME!!!

Trista behind bars!!

On Saturday afternoon we thought that we would

take the girls to the Train Park in Caldwell.

Unfortunately the trains are not open to the

public until June 15th, and then on Sunday's

only. Trista has a thing for trains, so we thought it

would be awesome for her to see them.

Here's Kairi behind bars, it was soooo cute.

A Little Exercise Never Hurt Anybody

On Saturday the girls thought they would start their day out right by putting in a little exercise. We turned the treadmill on to the lowest speed and let them play on it. It was so cute to watch Trista jogging, and Kairi trying her best to keep up. They had a blast playing and giggling.

Here's a better pic of Kairi. She was soooo proud of herself. Everytime that she would stay on the treadmill for longer than a minute she would put her hands up and shout, "I DID IT"!! Of course she'd get this cute little grin on her face and scrunch up her shoulders and laugh.

All In A Day's Work

I caught this photo of Gracie sucking her thumb and sleeping away the day. I thought that perhaps this might be a black-mail photo to use in the future!!! She sure is cute though. Grace had been up since about 6:30 that morning.









This second photo was right after I had gotten home with Chassidy. We went shopping and finally bought her some items that would be appropiate for a teenager. She's been shopping in the kid dept. for far too long. So, here's Gracie looking cute and stylish.

BETTER LATE, THEN NEVER EASTER PARTY

So we finally had the annual Durham Easter Party. I think that it turned out to be a success. Well it turned out that the turkey wasn't cooked through all the way, we ran out mashed potatoes, the kids were bouncing off the walls from the all of the sugar that Grandma had fed them. Celeste and 5 of her children came up for the a visit and for the party. They seemed some of the most excited, especially Taryn. She actually ended up collecting most of the Easter Eggs.

So I'm going to try and name all of the kids starting in the back row going left to right

The two buckets on the head are Logan, Jace(Logan's Friend), Daniel, Paetton, Kelsey, Kailey

Next Row: Kimball, Taryn, Makel, Anja Bottom Row: Kairi, Emma, Jermey, Trista, Well I think that I got all of the kids named.(What a handful)!!!

Here's one last look of the children trading and barting for different eggs. Also in the pic is Mandy. She will be marrying Daniel in June and our family is very much excited.

These next couple of pics are my favorite. As the children all came back inside they laid their eggs on the floor and the trading process began. Poor Taryn had so many eggs that everybody began trading with her.

These two pics are the best. This top one is of all the eggs that Taryn collected. Pretty much her basket was over-flowing. She was starting to have a hard time carrying the darn thing.

Here's Kimball giving us a terrific grin!! You can't quite tell just how much he has in his basket, but he actually made out pretty good for himself. I think that he was happy about how much he found.

Here's Emma with some of her loot, and can you believe that she's missing 2 teeth already!

Here's Destiney as she helps the younger children find Easter Eggs. I think that they all had great fun. It gets even better as they brought all of their eggs inside and traded back and forth for the toys, or candy that they wanted.!!

Here's one of Brian helping the kids find some eggs

EASTER IS ON ITS WAY

So I don't have any pics to post this week. We had a family get together last night and I forgot my camera, so I thought that I would at least give an update as to how our family is doing.
My brother Dave his wife Sheri and their three kids Annalyse, Kylie, and Issac are in town from Utah. It was great to see them again and to finally meet my nephew. Issac is 10 months now and they adopted him from New Orleans. He is sooooo cute!!! The girls have definately grown at least a foot taller. We used to have movie night once a week with them when they lived here in Nampa. Kylie got glasses and looks so much older than 6. Lyssie is 8 and just got baptized and she comes all the way up to my chest. My brother said at her last check-up the doctor is predicting that she'll be 5ft 8in or 5ft 10in. The poor girl, I kinda know how she feels. I'm 5ft 7in and it's hard to find a guy taller than you, or one that doesn't mind that he's shorter than you.
As for Brian and I, things here at the office have finally settled down. We have been working day and night to get things organized and up and running for our new owner. The paper routes are still the same, and always running late. Sunday's have been the worst, we don't get done until after 9am or later. I'm finally getting over all of these stupid colds. I think that it's has something to do with the weather constantly changing.
On the 18th we're supposed to be having a Easter party at my mom's so hopefully I don't forget the camera and I will post more pics then.
