He lost another tooth!

Gabe lost his 2nd tooth.  Well actually he didn't really lose it, I had to pull it out.  That is the 1st tooth I have ever pulled and and it gave me the heebee jeebees!  Vinnie always takes care of that kinda stuff all the way since Austin lost his 1st tooth BUT he was out of town this time and it was driving Gabe nuts! Gabe kept telling me he had an ouey and wanted me to kiss it better.  Turns out his tooth was super loose.  I grabbed a paper towel, folded it, grabbed his tooth and pulled it out.  When I was done he said "that's better".

He's a Leader!!!

I knew it!  I knew my little guy was Leader!  Gabe came home from school so proud of himself today.  He was excited to show me his award that he had received.  Of course I cried, I was so happy and proud of my Gabey!

Happy Easter!

The kids woke up to their normal candy trail leading them from their rooms to their Easter baskets.  It's always such a surprise to them to walk out of their rooms and see candy all over the floor.  They almost don't know what to do.

They found their baskets and immediately started going thru them and then looking at what each other had in theirs.  They quickly discovered that there were 3 more baskets waiting for them on the dining room table.  (Grandma and Grandpa left those out for them)

After that we all got ready to go to Church.  As soon as Abby was ready she wanted to use her new camera that came in her basket.

After Church we headed off to the park for an Easter Egg hunt.  Aunties, Uncle, Grandma, Grandpa, and cousins went a little bit before we did so they could hide all of the eggs.

Easter Eggs!!!

We decided to spend our Easter holiday in Deming, NM with the Almanza's.  We decided to drive the entire 14 hours so we could spend more time with the family.  Normally we drive 6 1/2 hours to  Cortez, Co., stay the night and then drive the remaining 7 1/2 hours the next day.  The kids did great driving straight thru and we decided that is definitely the way to go from now on!  We arrived late Thursday night and then relaxed the next day.  Saturday morning Abby and her Nina Tish baked Easter cupcakes and then Auntie Sandra came over and we all decorated the cupcakes.

Shortly after that it was time to color Easter eggs!

Mom and Dad even had fun coloring eggs!

soon everyone was joining in...

Uncle Alex, Isaiah, Alexis, Grandma Marcie, Nina Tish, Auntie Sandra, Grandpa, and Uncle Sid.

They had so much fun with the neon colors and they were disappointed when we ran out of eggs to color.  They went to bed soon after so they could wake up and see what the Easter bunny left them.
