Chuck E. Cheese Time

We had planned on going to the Zoo this weekend but it was cold and windy. We decided to go to Chuck E. Cheese instead. The kids had never been there and let me tell you they loved it. Mommy on the other hand probably won't try it again without Daddy. Trying to watch 2 kids go in the opposite directions does not work too well. I know they stamp your hand so noone can leave with a kid that shouldn't but I am not the kind to let my kids go more than a foot away from me.

They actually rode something together!

Lexi wanted to ride the horse like bubba did. She started to freak out when it started moving though.

Hunter riding the horse. He loved it.

Girl Time

Lexi wanted to paint my nails so I let her. She tried very hard to stay on the nail but of course that didn't happen. It was fun to have the girl time with my lil peanut.

Easter at Great Grandma/Grandpa Scott's House

Easter Sunday we went to Great Grandma and Grandpa Scott's house. The kids love to go there and play. We had the Johnson Easter first so we missed eating but we got to egg hunt and fly kites.

Papa waiting with Lexi and Hunter for the CooCoo Clock. Lexi loves that thing. Usually Great Grandpa moves the hand ahead so she can hear it more than once.

Great Grandpa helping Lexi find her egg (they each had one with their names on it) the egg they found was Uncle Bens not hers.

Uncle Ben racing Hunter for the eggs. Ben would shake them and if they had money he would keep them and toss the candy ones back down for the kids. Little did he know some of them had dollar bills in them so he missed them. HA HA.

Easter 2010

Everything was setup nice and neat until the kids woke up!
They started to dig in before I could get the camera out.

Hunting for eggs.

Peanut found one!

Y.M.C.A time

Almost every Sunday I take the kids to the Y when it opens and let them play on the jungle gym. They love it. Lexi always says she wants to go down the slide but she is always too scared. It is about 5 levels high and I think she is afraid of heights. Hunter on the other hand does just about everything.

Ben's Pictures

So since I got the new camera Tina and I made my brother Ben go out to Lake Story and take some pictures, since it is his senior year. He really doesn't like taking pictures so some of the time he wasn't smiling very good. He could have been in a better mood. If we told him we needed him to move because of shadows or we wanted a better pose he grumbled the whole time!

Christmas at Grandma/Grandpa Scott's

The sunday after Christmas we went to my Grandparents house for Christmas dinner. Hunter and Lexi like to play in the house because it goes in a circle and they run around the whole thing laughing. This year Lexi was really into the Coo-Coo Clock! She kept asking Great Grandpa "when is the coo-coo coming". Everytime it went off she was right there waiting for it.

I wanted them to pose and of course right before the picture Hunter made Lexi cry.
