Oops the same pictures, sorry!

Bandit swimming for the first time, he swam and then climbed up on us in our rafts, amazingly he didn't pop any. Bandit loved going in the water everywhere we went after that!

Tyler baseball

Tyler went out for baseball this year. His team is the Detroit Tigers and consists of co ed second graders from his school. They play coaches pitch and are just learning the basics of baseball. They have games on Mondays and Wednesdays. Tyler is a great hitter but we wanted him to learn all aspects of the game. We hope he will continue every year.

Tyler had a friend party on his actual birthday, we went to MC Donald's then came home and had cake and opened presents. Then we all went to see Spiderman 3. He had all 4 friends sleepover. The next day was his family party.

Happy Easter

The kids found their Easter baskets pretty quick this year! Bandit even got to look for one.

At Auntie Lori and Uncle Steves. Had to do the egg hunt inside, too cold and yucky out.

Coloring eggs

Today we colored our Easter eggs in our new home. 3 dozen as a matter of fact. The kids don't like eating them, they just like coloring them. Mommy and daddy end up eating ends for a week and egg salad sandwiches.

Happy Easter!
