Egg hunt at Nana and Papa's house!So much fun!


Happy Birthday Mallory and Brady!

Roller Palace

Happy Birthday Caragh!

It started out really fun and I have to say we were better than the kids. Our 80's roller skating definitely played a part in that. The only thing sore today is one arm from holding up the kids.
What is that old saying??? "No one can have fun until someone breaks an arm!" Poor Kelli! She ended up at the ER and broke her wrist.

Happy Birthday Rex!

We love you!
