Natalie in Curlers

Here's another picture I just thought I would share because it's so cute! I put Natalie's hair up in curlers to see if her hair would hold any curl. Here she's posing for the camera. This is her version of a wink. So cute!

Easter Egg Hunt

Well it wasn't quite as cold this year at the Easter Egg Hunt as it was last year, but it was still pretty chilly. Brandon told me later - "I was so cold this morning that I was shivering". He said this while demonstrating to me how he had been shivering. Some of the words they say really surprise me! They're getting quite a vocabulary.

Dominoes

I just thought this was a cute picture of Daddy on the floor playing dominoes with the kids.

Coloring Easter Eggs

This is the first year we have colored Easter Eggs with the kids. They turned out really well and the kids had a lot of fun!

Our Big Snow

We had a pretty good snow this weekend. Probably about 15 inches or a little more. Here are some pictures of us playing in it.

How Big am I Getting?

Some of you have asked how big I am getting. Here is a picture Brent took yesterday of me at 28 weeks. I have an appointment tomorrow, so I will update you then if there's anything to report. :-)

Cleveland Children's Museum

Our friend Angie and I took the kids to the Cleveland Children's Museum on Friday. It's a great little museum for kids 2-6 years old. The kids had a really great time and didn't want to leave. They had a new exhibit this time called the Galapagos Islands. It was a huge room that they had turned into a giant sandbox. The kids were able to play in the sand as well as pretend they were turtles and bury turtle eggs to hide them from the alligators. :-) Here are some pictures of them having fun.

Happy Valentine's

It's a little late, I know, but here are pictures of the kids making Valentine's Day cards and cookies for Daddy. They had fun painting with finger paints and using the safety scissors and of course putting the sprinkles on the cookies. I think Daddy was happy with their finished products! By the way...sorry Brandon has no pants on but the little guy doesn't like to wear his clothes. We're lucky he had his shirt on that day!

The Spirit of Goodyear

Brent and I somehow got lucky enough this weekend to take a ride on the Goodyear Blimp! It's extremely difficult to get a ride on the blimp and we were lucky enough to be offered a pair of seats on Saturday's noon lift off. There had been a last minute cancellation and it worked to our favor. Here are some pictures of us, the blimp and the view from the blimp. Brent also took a short a movie of the blimp taking back off after our ride. Our ride lasted an hour. We took off from Suffield Township at the air dock which is about 15 minutes from our house. We then flew up towards Akron and past the Goodyear buildings and the buildings of downtown Akron. The weather was perfect and there wasn't a cloud in the sky. Because it was so clear we were able to see downtown Cleveland from Akron (which is about 30 miles away). On the way back to the air dock we were able to swing close to the house and see our neighborhood. Enjoy the pictures!!

Picture descriptions: The first picture is a the blimp landing on the launch pad in front of us. Picture 2 is Goodyear park and Goodyear Lake (frozen over). Picture 3: The large brick buildings on either side of the express way are the Goodyear buildings. Brent used to work at the brick building on the far side of the express way. Right in the very middle of picture 4 is our neighborhood. Picture 5 is a view of the Goodyear Blimp Air Dock. Picture 6 is a view from inside the blimp. I think you can tell what picture 7 is. :-)

Blimp Video

Here's the video Brent took of the blimp taking off.
