Easter afternoon

As luck would have it, I ended up with the flu on Easter and spent most of the day in bed. Matt took the kids to the neighborhood park in the afternoon and they had a fabulous time!

Easter Morning!

The Easter bunny left us all treats on the kitchen table!!!!

He hid the eggs in some strange places (check out the one suction cuped to the entryway trim)

Day before Easter

Saturday kept us busy with things to do before the Easter bunny arrived! The kids made a Bunny Hutch House made from a gingerbread kit given to them by Grandma and Grandpa Hamlin!!!

Sunny day with Sarah and Odin

It is 78 degrees this afternoon! Sarah and Odin held still for just a moment so I could take a picture of them playing in the backyard!

Barbecue anyone?

Barbecue season is just around the corner and so we purchased a new grill this weekend!


The grill has a 45 hamburger capacity!!! Yes, you read that correctly 45! Not to mention the kids' favorite feature -- it comes with a side griddle for pancakes and eggs (apparently they feel we need to barbecue our breakfast)!
Here's a photo PRIOR to all the fingerprints!!
Can you guess who picked out the barbecue cover?????? Go Ducks!

It is soccer season!

Our weekend revolved around soccer this weekend. Both Brandon and Ryan had a game on Saturday and due to the rain we were not able to get our camera out for pictures. Brandon's team ~ The Canby Generals won their game 6 to 4 against Oregon City. Brandon scored the first goal for his team! Ryan's team, "The Fire Falcons", played Gladstone and they won 5 to 1, with Ryan making the first goal for his team!
On Sunday, Ryan's team played their game against North Clackamas and they lost 5 to 4. Ryan scored 3 goals (actually 4, but the other team touched the ball with his hands so it didn't count!).
I've posted pictures of Ryan's game!
