I love how this picture shows that we’ve only been up for 5 minutes!
Happy with his book.
Hunting for Eggs
Showing off her loot.
This is the first time we’ve been home for Easter in 2 years. It was nice to enjoy it in our PJs and to go to church and have the kids focus on the true meaning of Easter.
I do, love, love, love my iphone! Here are some recent, random happenings caught by the phone camera:
Calla and her “having some blanket.” She is clearly “having some” in this picture. We are pretty sure she is going to have to go off to college with this blanket!
Toothless! Even though it’s March, he’s been singing, “All I Want for Christmas.”
Visiting with cousins and holding, “a real, live baby!”
Making bread. Very exciting.
Making our children pose for advertising shots…just kidding! She really does just LOVE to make bread, or stand at the counter and “help” with just about anything going on in the kitchen! She came up with this pose entirely of her own doing, I swear.
More toothless cousins.
Cutie!
Dad, would you mind having your birthday twice a year, so we have an excuse to eat German Chocolate Cake more? So yummy!
Visiting the library and enjoying a good read!
Today at Hadden’s school the Buehners (Snowmen at Night, Snowmen at Christmas, Taxi Dog, The Escape of Marvin the Ape, etc.) came and talked about their books and about publishing. He LOVED it! We love all their books and saw a few more there we don’t have…yet.
Sledding
Mom and Dad went to the trade show in Atlanta and Grandma came to stay with the kids. They made us a surprise welcome home cake.
Thanks, Grandma!
We spent Christmas at Grandma and Grandpa’s in Salt Lake this year. The kids enjoyed lots of chaos and new toys with cousins. We also got to have Chris for two whole days since Christmas was on Saturday!
Calla is now the newest hair stylist in the family.
Calla and Grandma love Zhu Zhus!
This child is mildly obsessed with space, thanks PaBo.
A budding chef.
One of the many Lego sets Hadden got this year. He put together Legos for 3 straight days
Hadden and Noah trying out their new snowshoes.
On Thursday night, we went to dinner with our good friends, Ken and Emily Sim. Chris and Ken gave Emily and I envelopes with a travel itinerary for a trip to San Francisco, leaving the next afternoon! Emily and I are both type A’s, so we weren’t sure what to think of this at first, but we had a great time! Thanks guys!
We hiked to the top of the hill and saw Coit Tower. Unfortunately, the stairs were closed and the elevator was being renovated, so we didn’t make it to the top of the tower, but the view from the hill was still great…
Then we walked across the city to the next biggest hill and saw…
Lombard Street, aka the crookedest street.
The houses were adorable
The view was great. See the tower there in the distance?
This was the view from our hotel room window. Hadden has not ceased to be full of questions about Alcatraz!
Ghirardelli Square. Mmmmm, chocolate.
The view of the Golden Gate from the end of the pier.
We ate at Boudin’s every day. It was SO YUMMY! There is a big glass window where you can watch this lady (she was there every day!) make these…
So cute!
The next day it rained and then it POURED! We were soaked…
Then we came home to our thoughtful husbands and our cute kiddos…
Who loved their turtle bread!
