The HAIRDRYER again...

Eva is so funny when she's doing her hair... she's two and she DOES HER HAIR!!! It does keep her distracted long enough to get myself ready to go- so I guess it's not too bad!

Sleepy kids

And this (thanks goodness) was the hour drive back home after playing with all the Zink grandchildren all day! Eva is so funny with her "car" sunglasses... she has a pair in Grama's car and Auntie Martha's car- these are her princess dress up ones that she NEEDS for every trip. We keep them up in the glasses holder with Mommy's!

Grama Colleen

We had such a short visit that I forgot to take pictures! (That's not like me at all!) At least I snapped a few when we went over to the Zink's for Walter's (Walt's Dad) 80th birthday party...
...Eva was "Grama's Angel" in person for a few days!!

Silly Girl...

Eva is FOREVER playing dress up, with whatever she can find to put on!! Daddy's hat and Mommy's shoes are great accessories for her "Grama made" outfit- don't ya think???

Diaper Dolls

Now that we don't need diapers anymore, Eva is putting them to good use... ALL the babies have diapers on! She does a pretty good job too! She's so busy taking care of her babies. I went in and saw that her light was turned off, so I asked if she wanted it on (thought she couldn't reach it). And she yelled at me, "SHHHHHH...MY BABIES ARE SLEEPING!!!

What a HUGE difference between girls and boys!!!

FOR SALE!

I will take another outdoor picture in a couple weeks- all the tulips and daffodils are starting to pop up. But otherwise these are the FINAL photos! YEEEEAAAAAHH!!!
Only a couple very minor touch ups to do- nothing that would make or break a sale...
...now we just have to hope that someone wants to buy, with the housing market the way it's been!
Eva's old nursery... it's really hard to say goodbye to this house! We worked our tails off in there!

The AUBURN House

HOLY COW.... THE TREE IS DONE! And so is the rest of the room, excluding a couple of trim pieces that I couldn't put up with a BROKEN nail gun! Not to worry though... Brian took the nail gun all apart and put it back together... that aughta do it!! OMG!
I wanted BJ to stand under the loft (Collin's old bed) to show that you CAN walk under it... if you're 5' tall... (Do you know how many times I whacked my head on that?!?!) NOTE TO SELF: Loft=6' tall!
Here are some other views- I really love how it turned out- hopefully someone else will too!

Soap PAINT...

WHAT ON EARTH WAS THE EASTER BUNNY THINKING!!!!!

Easter Egg Hunt @ Aunt Donna's

Well here are this years participants... Alex, BJ, Margaret, Zachary, Britnie, Samantha, Eva, Luke, LJ, Ashlyn, Brandi, Avery, Brian, Josh, Collin, Axel and Brianna... not pictured: Alexis (where did she go?) and Todd wasn't there this year. OH MY GOSH- we had 18 kids and 430 eggs! Who knows if we found them all?!?!? I guess the lawn mower might find a few!!

Evee & Margie

We took SO MANY pictures of the girls...
...they're all so cute- it's hard to choose which ones to post!
Aren't they the cutest girls?!?! And such buddies!

Collin's NEW MP3 Player...

Collin must have been up all night waiting for the BUNNY... he fell asleep on the way to our Easter celebration- with his new music in his ears!

Dressed UP!

Little MISS PRINCESS was in charge again!
(Can you tell who RUNS this house?!?!)
My HANDSOME sons!

And we hunted for EGGS!

Easter Morning...

... the Easter Bunny came to our house AGAIN!

Waterloo Wrestling Tournament

Here are our CUTIES! Cameron, BJ, Collin & Kate... (Eva was too busy for a picture- as you can tell from the others below!!)
ALL the kids did a great job! They all got their first wrestling trophies!

Eva's Broken Egg...

Collin's EGG

Coloring Easter Eggs

We had SO much fun this year! Daddy even got a little creative... proving me wrong about using scotch tape to mask off areas of the egg! I prefer the good old fashioned "hold half the egg in the dye at a time" method- but who am I to stop "scientific advancement" in the egg coloring world! Did you also know that you can use a PLAIN OLD white crayon to write on eggs-- as opposed to the expensive specialty EGG crayon!

Eva had a "Collinism" too- I was trying to get her to point to her egg so I could take her picture, so I asked her where her egg was... She had a matter of FACT answer that it was "in the COFFEE!" Brian and I got a kick out of that one!!!
AND LOOK.... I DO EXIST!

Check Out Our EGGS!

Tinkle Tinkle Little Star...

I know, I know... she's SO FUNNY though! I had to sneak a shot of this one while she was singing on the POTTY!
