Skip Ahead...Just for a Post...

Last week we got new family photos for the new blogsite by Rhonda Fast (a family friend and a talented fellow photographer). I have posted a few favorites and the rest of the photos I have posted in a gallery on facebook. I really wanted to go to downtown Abbotsford for some photos, not realizing how dirty and busy the cars are down there. The boys love to run and jump and get into things...the pictures turned out great....it was a little nerve wracking at times. When we got into the car, B said to me, " Mom, look at my hands! They are black!" (ew, with dirt)

Sleep Overs...

B and Ry love having "sleepovers" in each other's rooms. I couldn't resist taking this photo when I went to check on them!

Bath Time Experiments

My mom gave me the bath toys that I had as a child. They have square containers that fit inside one another that have different holes in the bottom to make a shower. Ry loves fitting one inside the other and it squishes the water out making a whistling noise. He laughs hysterically! (Boys and their eyelashes *sigh*)

Wrinkly feet and ...
wrinkly hands.

Behind the Scenes Photo Shoot Downtown Abbotsford

We asked a friend and fellow photographer to photograph our family and a few shots for our business with our camera. We also took some pics of Rhonda shooting behind the scenes and Clay took some pics through out the session as well. I don't know if you know how hard it is to get a good shot of photographer's kids. It takes a lot of chocolate eggs as bribery...

Peek a boo (only if they would peek at the same time...)


It's fun to run in traffic...
yell as loud as you can...


and be fascinated by ants.
At the end of the shoot, the boys were in the car, and they both said, "Look at our hands, Mom, they are black!?" EW!

Easter Sunday

I love how they set up the chairs at church. They had a puppet show for the kids. Great!

Ry always thinks that the music is TOO loud!
Bucket head and not too sure bucket head...
he just didn't want to wear it!

Easter egg hunt!

Easter cookies


Put your chocolate egg in your cheek Ry...
