Dell's 70th Birthday

Stacy hosted a very special party for Dell. You may notice that Maddy glued herself to Dell. Judging by the pictures you would think it was Maddy's Birthday as well. Luckly, Nana graciously shared the lime light with Madeline Grace. Lindsey made a fun game with prizes representing her Nana. Caedon and Maddy open their Easter presents before Dell had a chance to open her presents. RJ (Lindsey's boyfirend) said, "the only other person that gives gifts on their birthday is Jesus." At the end of the night Lauren played the piano..Mike and Maddy joined in for the grand finale.

Happy Birthday

Happy Easter

What an action packed weekend and we still have not finished with the festivities. Dell's Birthday Celebration is tonight but it will have it's own entry. My sister came to town with 3kids, a dog and 12 ducks! The cousins had so much fun playing together on Friday night. Saturday, we were all disappointed when Caedon's game was cancelled due to the rain, but we colored Easter Eggs and had our friends Ali, Tripp, Abbie and Daisy over for dinner. Easter morning was a egg hunting extravaganza in our backyard. Caedon's basket overflowed so we had to unload the basket into a bigger bag. Then it was off to Grandma's to have fun with the cousins. Each cousin got an egg with money in it and then we had an indoor Easter egg hunt. Even the some of the ducks found their way into the photographs. In the end, we took a family photo. My mom's old couch now sinks a little in the back after 7 grand kids using it as a trampoline. We felt like we were on a roller coaster, thus the goofy family photo.

(psst! That is Lindsey in the background not me)

Madeline's First Day on Skis and Caedon's Award

These are pictures of Madeline's first day on the slopes and Caedon's last day of MIGHTY MIGHTS for the season. Madeline had soo much fun. She was a little overwhelmed on the chairlift but she loved snow.  Caedon received great compliments from his coach. The coach said that he was torn between most enthusiastic and best jumper, but Caedon ended up with the award for best jumper. We are so proud of him!

                                

Reno Gazette Journal

Caedon and his team made the newspaper! They were all lined up with their belts cinched tightly around there little waists holding their hats for the national anthem. Caedon is in the center of the line up.

Opening Day - Little League

Baseball season has officially started and so starts the chaos of Spring. Today was opening day and the ceremonies started early. Miss Maddy, who is accustomed to her beauty sleep and slow morning routine, had a hard time getting out the door by 9am, so we (Maddy and I) were late for the parade of teams. Caedon's game did not start until later. We had plenty of time to enjoy a breakfast bagel with Cousin Lauren. We cheered Caedon on as he hit the ball from the pitching machine and rounded the bases. Here are some highlights from the day.
