Hoppy Easter!

We had a great Easter celebration today with lots of family, food and great weather. Here is a picture of the Easter egg hunt.
Cory and Lucy on the slide.

Ella, Cal and Lucy checking out the Easter egg hunt finds that Ella made.

Here is our attempt at a McNamara cousin family picture on the slide (this is something mom and her cousins used to do), obviously we need a little practice at this!

Grace and Lucy on the big rock.

Lucy enjoying her chocolate bunny from the Easter bunny.

Lucy, Ella, Grace and Lauren in their Easter dresses. Lauren and Ella have on the dresses that Grace and Lucy wore when they were 1 and 3 and in a few years they will hopefully wear the ones Grace and Lucy had on today............

Do we want to be bricklayers?

Today we worked hard helping Dad and Terry finish laying the stone on the new kitchen. We aren't sure we want to do it for a living but it was fun playing in the mortar today.

Lucy working hard on her rock sandwiches.

Grace striking the joints, with her safety goggles in place.

Fun in Mexico

We had another good trip to Mexico this past week. The weather was great, food was good and we had great company with Grandma, Grandpa, Abby, Liz and Ancel.

MOA with Dad.......

Eating at the Rainforest Cafe.

Dad wore his new Nebraska hat out today. This week alone the folks in Lincoln have started sending things to the house, this hat, Nebraska t-shirts, Omaha steaks and stuffed potatoes. We don't know what these people are getting so excited for........

We have been begging for Dad to come to the Mall of America with us and do Build-A-Bear and since there wasn't school today we made the trip over today. Dad dressed both of our animals for us.

Rubbing our hearts.......

Lucy stuffing her bear.

Lucy checking out the new cabinets

Our nights have been filled with lots of changes in the kitchen this week. The cabinets were delivered last Friday and Saturday, appliances on Monday so Dad has been busy installing them this week. Lucy took an opportunity to checkout the inside of one of the corner units the other night with her Barbies. We know everyone wants more pictures but until it is done we are going to keep you all in suspense......

Cheerleading for the boys

Grace did a mini-cheerleading camp this past week after school and on Tuesday night we all went to the SCC boy's varsity basketball game to watch her.

Fun with the cousins

We went swimming with our cousins tonight, Lauren, Leyton, Ella, Maggie and Cal (well Cal didn't get in but he was there). We all had a good time and were pretty tired out so our Moms' were pretty happy about that! We are going to have to have group swimming parties more often!
