Sunny days...

Its finally getting warm enough up here to spend more time OUTSIDE and play!  Ollie is loving being outside and I usually put his exersaucer thingy out there every chance I get.

We took the kids and Stella to the park over the weekend and had a little picnic lunch!
















We spent most of today outside and I had to run get Ollie some sunglasses.  He loves them!  Evie stole mine (then promptly broke them).

Easter

I can't believe Easter has come and gone.  Time really does go by so much faster the older we get.  Ollie is 7 months old already.  Seriously.  7 months.  I had this preconceived notion that I would have pictures of every month (I forgot the last two months!), every day, I would upload new pictures.  Ha!  Im so tired that Im lucky if I even turn the camera on any more!

Here are some pics from Easter!

The last of the fun in Texas.....

Well, we have been back in Minnesota for almost 2 weeks and I am finally updating it all here.  I miss Texas.  I miss my family.  But, its the life of the Coast Guard.

My friend, Dena, came home to Beaumont and I had a chance to see her!  She FINALLY got to meet Evie and Ollie.  She always comes to visit us wherever we are stationed...think she'll come to Duluth?!?!?


We took the kids to Kemah to ride some rides.  Evie loves Kelsey and Jordan and misses them dearly!





We also had a crawfish boil at my moms while we were there.  I was horribly sick but the kids had a blast!  They had the 4 wheelers out in the side pasture, flinging cow poop all over themselves and they all loved it!

First batch in....


We always have a *little smokey* who is set free


Mike and DeWayne...


Ollie loving being outside!


Jax wanting to ride the 4 wheeler!  He never took that helmet off the whole day!


Blake and Evie.  She loved the 4 wheeler and wanted him to go faster~



Every baby takes a bath in Grandma's sink....


McKenna and Ollie.  If it wasn't her necklace, it was her colored braces he loved!

At an Iowa rest stop.  They are friggin nice!


Ignore the attire....Almost home!
