Tulip Festival

 Every year since we've lived up here near the tulip fields we have made a trip to see the tulips. Yesterday was perfect and the kids had a great time walking/running around the fields and smelling the flowers. Jacob LOVED the purple tulips!

 Daniel and Emma both said the red tulips were their favorite this year.
 Noah liked the orange tulips the best cause he said they smelled like oranges.
The camera just couldn't compete with the airplanes in the air and Jacob wouldn't look a the camera for pictures.
 Jacob was so funny! He would be running along a row of purple tulips and then just stop and smell one of them and then run off again only to stop a few minutes later and smell another one. The kids all said the purple tulips smell like chocolate! I have to say they were right, they did kinda smell like chocolate.
I actually gave up the camera to Kendall and let him take a picture of me with the kids! I just hate pictures of myself especially when I'm so pregnant.

Easter Weekend

 We went to my Sister Jessica's house for Easter weekend this year. It was so nice to get together and let the cousins play and visit with Jessica and Vernon. We had an Easter egg hunt on Saturday and the kids had a great time looking for eggs!
 Jacob loved the candy.......
 and the piano (thank heavens for headphones!).......
 and the Nerf guns!
 Daniel loved his cousin's scooter.

 Jessica curled the girl's hair for church on Sunday and they looked so cute in their Easter dresses. I love the look on Jacob's face in this picture.
 This picture makes me laugh! I'm not quite sure why Daniel is making that face or Jacob. But this is the best you get with 8 kids who have just gotten home from church and all they can think about is food!
It was a great weekend, the weather was perfect and it was so nice to visit with family.
