Easter Sunday

 Of course the kids were so excited to see what the Easter Bunny filled their baskets with, so they were all up at 7:00 a.m. (Too early for Tim and I...it's Sunday)

 We didn't get eggs dyed until after breakfast on Easter morning.

  This year I decided to decorate the table for Easter Breakfast. It made it more fun, the kids were excited to see it.

  Easter breakfast...cinnamon knots and scrambled eggs, YUM!

Easter Egg Hunt

 We did our annual Hall Family Easter dinner and Easter Egg Hunt on Friday night. This year we did our Easter Egg Hunt at night with flashlights. The kids thought it was fun to do something different. The cousins had a great time playing together as always.

Spring Break 2013

We had perfect Spring weather for Spring Break this last week. It was a nice week staying home. We went swimming, went to lunch, had picnics on the trampoline, played outside, rode bikes, decorated sugar cookies, had an Easter Egg hunt, played Lego's...lots of fun, too bad the week flew by so quickly.

Our "Tumblette"

Kayli has been doing Tumbling at Jolley's for 18 months. She is on the Tumblettes Team. She is is so talented, works hard, and LOVES it! We are so proud of her and what she has accomplished. It is amazing to see what she can do. We all love to watch her. Kayli did "Live Shots" at Tumbling the other day, so here she is in action, doing some of her tricks.

Her latest trick is an Aerial (no hands cartwheel) 

and now she is working on her back tuck (back flip on the ground from standing) Her next performance is in May, so we look forward to watching that.

Leprechaun Breakfast

A little Leprechaun showed up at our house Sunday morning...Green Waffles and Green Milk

Tyler's "Movie Night" Party

 Tyler invited some of his buddies for a Movie Night Birthday Party on Friday. They watched Wreck-It Ralph. I gave them each several tickets to buy popcorn, candy and drinks at the "concession stand." They seemed to all have such a fun time and were seriously the best bunch of boys ever. Couldn't have been a better evening for Tyler.

 He got lots of great gifts...Several Lego sets including Hero Factory, a remote car, Skylander Giants character, outdoor ball, candy, etc.

Happy 8th Birthday Tyler!

 Hard to believe our handsome Tyler Boy is 8. He had such a great birthday yesterday. We spent Sunday evening with Tim's family for a mini celebration. He requested this chocolatey chocolate cake, and he loved every bite.

 He got up early on his birthday wanting to make sure he had plenty of time to open presents before school. He got the Lego Beach House, Cabela's canoe playset, snorkel set and a Lego Hobbit set...

 He's 8 now so he also got his Cub Scout shirt, which he was excited about.

 and this new bike helmet

 I made him one of his favorites for breakfast...

 Zach and I took kid meals to school and ate lunch with Tyler...

 Then we went to Chili's for his Birthday Dinner

 They brought him out this yummy Birthday Dessert...

 Kayli and Tyler devoured it!

Then we spent the rest of the evening at Planet Play, one of Tyler's favorite places to go, playing games & arcades, lazer tag, bowling and racing go karts. It was a fun day celebrating Tyler's Birthday. We are so blessed to have him in our family. He is such a loving, caring, creative, tender-hearted, imaginative, smart and hard-working boy. We love you Tyler, so much!!!!
