Grounded From Toys

Eli didn't put his toys away and so I put them up high so he couldn't get them (aka Toy Jail). Eventhough it was really high, it didn't stop him from trying.

Springtime Snow!

Don't you love the fact that the one time it snows this winter, it is in April?  So much for the flowers. At least Riley made the best of it and made a snowman.

My Happy Easter!

While the Easter Egg hunts and parties are fun for the kids (and me too), my favorite part is dressing the little ones up and taking pictures of them.

Update: This is the infamous weekend in which Jonathon and Whitney began. Courtney noticed them flirting and asked me if there was anything going on. I told her that I really didn't think so. I thought just because two people are single, doesn't mean that they will get together. Well, they did. They flirted the entire weekend.
Funny story: One weekend, while they were dating, Riley and I came to the Koyle's for a weekend. Riley saw them holding hands and asked them when they were getting married. I was embarrassed and told her to be quiet. Whitney then told me not to worry, they were getting married and they announced their engagement.

Happy Easter!

Our Easter consisted of 3 Easter Egg hunts and dying eggs.  One was Grandma Jansen's house, one was at Grandma Koyle's and the last was a community Easter egg hunt that I won't be doing again because it was way too crowded.  I was, however very pleased with my children for sharing eggs with children who were late.  Either way, the kids enjoyed them all, including Morgan, with the funny face.

Update (Jan 15, 2016): This is the infamous weekend in which Whitney and Johathon got together. Courtney asked me if they were together, because they were flirting a lot, and I told her I don't think so. I figured just because two people are single, doesn't mean they will get together. They did get together.
Another weekend later that summer, they were there too and Riley asked when they were getting married. I was embarrassed and told her to be quiet. Whitney told me not to worry and then announced their engagement. They got married on January 2nd.

Zoo Trip with Grandma Koyle

Yeah!  Grandma Koyle has a zoo pass and shared it with all of us.  Carrie's Family joined us and we had a blast.  Riley somehow slipped away from all the adults there and rode the train all by herself.  I don't know how she did that, but eventually, we got her back.

















They had this new play place at the zoo. It was so nice to just sit and watch the kids play after seeing all the exibits at the zoo. It was also nice to allow Jared time to take Morgan back to the car for a crash.
