From A to Z #3

CHEESE!

Luke and Noah entertain themselves at the party. Myah discovered that she loves nuts, especially walnuts. Good thing she isn't allergic!

A little frosting mustache...isn't she adorable?

Myah enjoys a cupcake, or rather the frosting...none of the cake actually made it into her mouth. No sense wasting the calories on things you don't like!

Luke plays DS while Myah pretends to sleep. This was at great Aunt Edith's surprise 80th birthday party in Dubuque, IA.
Myah loved to run down the hallway and all the kids loved following her. You can imagine that she was screaming the whole time. I think she might have upset the hotel staff just a little...good thing we probably won't be going back to that hotel!

Grandma Helen, Luke and Noah. The boys pause their games long enough for a picture.

Grandma Helen, Luke, John, Noah, Aunt Mary, and Myah. I think that Myah is dreaming about
running in the hallway again....too much fun!

Grandpa Rodney observes the egg decorating and tries to keep everyone neat. Unfortunately everyone had dye on their hands and clothes, but thankfully our washing machine got all the stains out!

more a to z

Waiting to start the Easter egg hunt...Myah got in there and got two eggs and thought this hay stuff is dirty and I don't like it. She got out and enjoyed her tootsie rolls. More to come again...the uploader is down again!
Easter egg hunt at Grandma and Grandpa's house. The boys loved hunting for their high eggs and then helping Myah find hers....as always Grandma Betty went all out!

Myah finding her eggs...she found quite a few in shoes and then she discovered there was money and cheese its in them and she spent her time opening them up, stealing from her brother's buckets and hoarding as many as she can...how fast they learn!

Easter morning at church. This was the bridge over a kids pool...they do it every year and it is a perfect picture opportunity. If only Myah were a little taller! We couldn't get her off the bridge!

Family picture...Luke thinks the water is cool to look at...some people had thrown coins in there.

Everything from A to Z...it has been a long time!

Easter morning at church...it's hard to get three kiddos to hold still...maybe next year! More to come, the uploader is down. :(
Noah and Luke at Uncle Bob's house. He put on a lovely meal and even made bunny bread!

Noah doing the monkey bars at the Riepe house....I can't believe he can do that!

Luke, Myah and Olivia Riepe playing in the sandbox...we have so much fun at their house!

Myah got pretty sleepy on her bike ride. Good nap spot for her!

This is the day Kate almost gave me a heart attack. She likes to sit on the top of the chair...

Proof that Myah does share sometimes! I think she might have taken it back at some point that morning!

Luke's t-ball team. The Wyoming Rangers. They don't take score yet, so we should have an undefeated season! We have t-ball or baseball 5 day the week....if we're not at home, check the field!

Luke hitting off the tee. I can't believe how fast he is growing up!

Luke spinning circles on first base. Hope the ball doesn't come to him!

This is my favorite picture! The joy you see on his face is priceless!

Fun with Mary R and Kids

This is Teddy as he tries to climb his slide. He and Myah have been promised to each other since they were tiny babies. They are going to have the most beautiful brown eyed babies! Looks like Teddy has been eating dirt...I guess everyone is allowed a character flaw!

Myah plays in the sand....Princess, don't get dirty!

Alexis hangs on one of her swings. We have so much fun with the Reipes. Imagine four toddlers all within 5 weeks of each other. Mary's 3 and Myah....Sammie, Bridget and Teddy are some of Myah's favorite people to play with. I am getting better at telling them apart. I really enjoy Mary's company while the kids enjoy playing with each other!

Noah loves doing the Monkey bars....my little monkey is very good at them too!

Getting ready to do some more monkey Bars. This play set is huge, but I guess when you have 5 kids you have to have your own HUGE playground to accommodate them all!

Luke swings next to Olivia. What a fun time we had playing on all their wonderful play equipment!

Teddy and Myah play house...It looks like Myah is trying to keep everyone indoors!

Teddy went down the slide all by himself. One would think that this would make him scared, but he went right up to do it again!

Luke, Myah and Olivia play in the sand. Bridget is in the left bottom corner...probably not a bad idea as I am sure there was some throwing of sand!

Dyeing Easter eggs with Grandma and Grandpa. Noah loves trying to get fancy and do multiple colors.
Luke dyes his Easter egg yellow...is that surprising or what.

Grandma Betty helps Myah dye her eggs...she is very interested until she starts eating one...she LOVED the yolk! AKA ball!

Pictures with the Easter Bunny at Forest Lake Floral. Myah was pretty sure she didn't need to sit on any part of his lap. She did eventually give him a high five though!

Noah and Luke loved the bunny. We were the only ones there. Later that morning we saw the Easter bunny out on the street trying to drum up business for pictures and breakfast!

Florida pictures, Satelitte Beach, Disney...

Me and the boys on Thunder Mountain Railroad.....weeeeeeeee!

It's hard to tell whether or not Donal and Goofy are smiling, but the rest of them are doing a pretty good job....despite the fact that they were facing right into the sun!

Disney World

Myah loved the view we had over the pool and the ocean. The balcony was one of her favorite places!

Myah moo catching some rays.

Running in the ocean....brrrrr!

Luke doesn't even like to get his toe wet, but Noah has fun playing in the ocean...

Run!!!

My little pink princess even tried her feet in the water...she wasn't quite sure what to think...but she did look good in her matching swim suit, hat and sunglasses.

Mommy and Myah out on the beach...very windy and cold, but it was so nice to be together...we played cards, did some shopping, watched some movies and enjoyed each other's company!

The kids loved swimming even though it was cold. We just changed where we swam and spent our time outdoors in the hot tub.

The boys out in the ocean...the ocean temp was much cooler than normal and so was the outside air. The boys didn't seem to mind too much, they were just determined to play in the ocean while in Florida!

Making a sand castle....the boys play well together and had a lot of fun making sand creations!

The boys were sitting up on the pier over the beach for this picture, we put Myah up there and she was petrified and cried the whole time.....I think she was worried they would drop her!

Popsicles taste so good out on the balcony...especially in your diaper!

Myah searches for her belly button....finally by the end of the week it started to warm up!

The sunrise over the ocean on our last day. We never saw a beautiful sunrise like this until our last day...all good things must come to an end.

Sunrise

We were stuck at the Milwaukee airport for 5 hours....we had been told that we were going to be there overnight, but our plane left at 10:30 at night. We were so thankful to see grandma and grandpa in Minneapolis and to finally get home and into our beds!

Myah had to try out this little potty...although she didn't actually go she did have fun trying!
