Nana had just come from a primary activity that she was in charge of and they had rented a helium tank. So she came over on her way to return it and blew up balloons for the kids! they had a ball as you will see from the pictures!

Nadia liked to try doing it herself!
Happy girl!
This was the scene most of the time Nana was here! My four little ones all gathered around her to watch what she was doing! I love this picture!

Easter!!!

Easter clothes! We did red and white with polka-dots this year!

Only because I could find matching dresses in all the right sizes

in the red and white and a new white shirt with a red tie for Mason!

Mason squints in the sun!

Next it was Livi's turn to squint!

Soccer and flood waters!

Mason and Nadia in front of the indoor soccer field at the "Y" on Nadia's first day of soccer!
I don't know if you can see the river behind the kids real well, but we had a flood! The river was so high that Brandon couldn't drive to work on his normal path for a couple of days! So, the kids are down checking out the flood waters!

The videos below are of Mason showing Nadia the ropes at her first soccer class. They are in the same class, which mommy loves!

Bouncy Castle Fun!!!!!

Snow Day!!!!!

I can't get any pictures to load, but I will try later. I did get a video to load though! So, enjoy that! We had a lot of fun yesterday being snowed in!! The kids were out for as long as we would let them, or until they got snow somewhere inside their snowgear!

Yesterday (Saturday) we had a huge snowfall for southern Ohio! We got over a foot of snow and the kids enjoyed being out in the snow all day!!!
