Easter with Family!

We had the Buttars' over for easter dinner and an egg hunt. I couldn't decide which pictures to post so there are a lot. The kids hunted for eggs, the mom's took pictures for their blogs, the BIG kids (dad's) played a little football, almost hitting a few innocent bystanders, and Chad's brother Trent, who is anti-sports jumped on the trampoline. Over-all a very excellent Easter! I couldn't get my kids to stand still too long to get real good pictures. I think they were already hopped up on sugar!(I should mention my neice Madisyn was sporting her new braces and Megan was sporting a baby bump).

Austin is REALLY 12!

Okay, so I have been saying Austin is 12 for 6 months now, but now he really is 12! He was suppose to plan something of a party- a sleepover, or swimming, something, but he waited until the day before to tell me what he decided (this procrastination his a habit of his) so now he has to wait until soccer is over. We took him to dinner and he picked out cupcakes, but it was pretty low key.

Demolition Derby

For Austin's 3rd quarter party they did a "Drive Inn" theme. They had to build their own cars for the movie and they also did a demolition derby with their cars on boards with wheels. Austin, of course, waited until the day of to ask if we were making a car. So I scrambled while he was at school to put together a car. I got most of it together and then Chad helped build the actual scructure of the truck. We put a flat bed in the back, which was cute, but we found out later that Austin would be sitting on a roller board and so the space for his body was a little small. He was pretty excited when he got home from school. His friend was teasing me for building Austin's car because he built his himself. Here are pictures of Austin's truck and Keegan's car.
