SIX birthdays and a happy Easter

Happy little Elle celebrated her 6th birthday on April 20. She has such a fun personality!


Mindy, Ryan, Ashlyn and Carter










Grandpa and GoGo with 10 of our 16 grandchildren on April 23, 2011. (Carter was sleeping and Rich's family was at Treslee's family reunion.)









After our home-made Cafe Rio "picnic" and an energetic Easter egg hunt we needed to cool off! What started as putting our feet in the icy cold pool ended up being a full on swim for many of the grandchildren. Swimming suits were optional!






Greg, Bastian and Ande
























Devin, Allison, Mollie and Sam















Sorry Adam!
















Adam, Anya, John and Ella

Adorable Mollie




















Ashlyn's find!
































Carter had his first birthday on the 16th! He's the sweetest little guy ever!




















Sweet Ella turned 6 years old on April 21. She is an angel! At her Peter Piper celebration little John won a ball out of the grabber machine with his tokens. He immediately gave the ball to Ella. A little bit later, Ella did the same with her tokens and gave John the ball!





















Grandpa John finally reached 60! He's been looking forward to it for awhile now! He says, "I am finally at the age I feel!"

















Brian, Scottee, Charlee, Oaklee, Jaxson (Journee and Trevee are watching over them, I'm sure! It was Journee's birthday on this April 23 Easter celebration day.)





Our family has great reason to rejoice! Not only are we able to be together and enjoy the chaos and joy of it all, but we get to look forward to this lasting forever through our Savior, Jesus Christ who made all of this possible! We love Him!

I need help! I don't understand why there are so many spaces in between pictures! Also I don't know how to move pictures around so that they are in the right order! I had this blog all set in chronological order and then when I tried to correct things-the pictures disappeared so I had to put them at the top of the blog! Frustrating!

It was a great time mom! Thanks for the efforts. (Looks like you have some updating to do on your "Happiness Producers" list BTW). :)

thanks for the great Easter party and for Carters fun birthday presents! (I'm not liking the naked Ashlyn pic in our family photo. I knew I should have just dressed her quick! oh well.)
