Hoppy Easter!

From The Baumgartners

Oh the ridiculous things we get our kids to do!

The Baumgartner's Easter Egg Hunt

Rachel and Ryon hanging out while the others hunted for eggs.

The hunt was on.  From Left to Right...Garrett, Jack, Annabelle, Roxie, Jacob, Patrick, Raeli, Keeton, Kyler, Andrew, & Caetlyn

Annabelle and Jack

Once again Andrew stopped hunting for more eggs once he realized there was chocolate inside.  He was eating the candies faster than I could get the wrappers off.  Maybe its a good thing he wasn't into getting as many eggs as he could.

Jack with his loot!

Rachel and Godmommy Aimee!

Roxie and Caetlyn roll on by!

Keeton was determined to roll his egg the entire way with his nose.

The famous egg spoon race.  Jack and Annabelle were smart and figured out they could hold their eggs on with their other hand.  We'll have to be more specific with the rules next year. :-)

Patrick, Kyler and Keeton were neck in neck in the duck race.

 Bunny Tag got everyone hopping all around!

Rachel's First Food

Rachel's first rice cereal was fed to her by big brother Andrew.  She wasn't too impressed but isn't spitting it out as much as she did the first few times.

Happy Easter

Dying Easter Eggs

Andrew loved "painting" Easter Eggs as he called it.  He just couldn't get the hang of not slamming the egg into each cup.  Eventually we banned him to putting stickers on the eggs that were already done.  He didn't think this was a good trade off. 

What is harder than getting a 4 month old to smile at the precise time you snap the photo???...getting her 2 year old brother to do the same lying next to her.  Oh well, its the thought that counts. 

This should be the end of the weddings for awhile.  Uncle Patrick married Aunt Abbey...Andrew's favorite.  For some reason he has an infatuation with the name Abbey.  Now the baby season begins!  Patrick and Abbey are due in the fall and Mike and Eleanor have a baby boy due to arrive in June.

Two Handsome Dudes!  Andrew was so proud of Daddy's best man speach.  I made him wait with me by the door but as soon as Craig was done he bolted across the room shouting "daddy...you did it!"  Then it was back to busting a move on the dance floor in his shoes that were a size too small because mom was too cheap to buy him new ones. :-)

Andrew convinced Grandpa to let him drive his truck once again but posed for a cute pic first.  Keep the keys away from him.  He's already figured out how to start it and push every button possible.

More family to see and more people to hold me!

Rachel Visits Extended Family

Rachel was quite the trooper this past weekend.  Getting passed from one family member to the next didn't bother her a bit.  After all, she was being held the whole time.  Her favorite thing to do!

Jacksen thought he would pose for a cute picture.  Little did he know Rachel had her eye on his hair and gave it a good tug as soon as he came within reach.

Andrew in his hamster ball.  It is this cool inflatable ball that has tons of static electricity.  His hair was crazy but he had a blast.  Craig on the other hand did not have a blast blowing it up.  It took forever but this smile made it all worth it...at least to me.  I wasn't the one inflating each section individually for almost an hour.

Rachel is in love with her toes.  She hates her dress bottom jammies now because she can not get at her toes.  I wish I were half this flexible.

Rachel loves playing on the floor.  She has just mastered rolling over...without brother's help.

Hot Tub!!!

Rachel loves hot tubbing with big brother Andrew.  He even lent her his old speedo because her bikini fell right off.  We have definitely got two water babies.
