Easter

Chloe spots the Easter eggs hidden in the back yard right away but Mimi attracts Max's attention first. He finds many of them in the early morning grass. There were even Mimis sticking to the Easter eggs! YUCK!!!



Chloe and Max Easter morning. Chloe has been waiting weeks to be able to wear her new Easter dress. She loves getting dressed up to go to church and she just could hardly wait to wear her new dress and shoes! Max is only interested in the batman he got in his Easter basket!


Max and Chloe are coloring Easter eggs. Chloe took charge of the pink and yellow dye and Max as you can see took control of the blue and green dye.






Flow Rider






On Spring break Rob took thje boys and some friends to the McDermont Field House in Lindsey, Ca. They spent the day playing on the flow rider, laser tag, indoor soccer, golfing, rock wall climbing, and the arcade. It was really fun, they had a blast!






Formal


This is new territory for us! Cole is a junior in high school, he is driving and dating and doing all those things teenagers do. Well, hopefully not everything. This year he went to his first formal dance. Here he is with his date Macy. They had a great time on their night out on the red carpet.

"Mimi" The Snail



Max loves to play with snails. It is a mystery to us as to why he names them all "Mimi". So don't ask because we don't know why. If you talk to him he will give a long story most of which you won't understand. But he will go on and on about Mimi the snail. He will hold Mimi in his hand and will giggle and tell you, "It tickles!" He also will push the antennae and watch it retract back and forth and laugh. Mimi will slime all over his hands and he just doesn't care because he is so fascinated with her. Every time he goes outside he will look through the plants until he finds Mimi! Unfortunately for Mimi, when he is finished playing with her or he is called to come in the house he just drops Mimi on the spot and gives her a quick stomp of the foot and the game is over for now. Good for Max there seems to be a never ending supply of Mimi's at our house. It saves me the trouble of putting out snail bait!

Elmo

Chloe and Max viewing Elmo and Dorothy on the new TV. It appears that Elmo is as interested in them as they are in him.
