Pockets full of Dandelions: Jonah's Easter Sunday blessing and other stuff.

Ryker

This boy has learned how to snap his fingers this month. He was so proud. He told me that a girl at school taught him. Sweet. I love how he just picks things up pretty much on his own. He also learned recently to do back flips on the trampoline, and I remember when he was just barely 4 years old he learned to ride his bike without training wheels. Quite impressive eh? I would love to take credit for all of that but he has learned to do these things all on his own. He just gets it in his brain that he's gonna do it and he does. One of the many things I love about this boy.

He has been off track so we have been playing in our backyard on warmer days. We have this awesome sand house, fire pit, and swingset the kids have been loving their new backyard.

The easter bunny brought Rykes this ducky balloon thing and he loved it!
He and Gary made a trap to capture the easter bunny it was a box with a stick holding it up and a carrot inside for the bait. That easter bunny ate all the carrot and left a note saying "Better luck next year" Love, The easter bunny.

Violet
This little miss has been busy! She loves having her brother at home to play with. She loves being outside and playing in the sand house. She wants to bring buckets of the stuff into our house and she gets sad when I won't let her. This is the best picture I got of her on Easter sunday. It's the only one where she would hold still.

I painted her room purple although it looks a little blue in the picture. It turned out really cute I wish I would have taken a before and after picture. Before it was pink with a grayish green wall with precious moments wallpaper. Lets just say it looks 100 times better.

Here is one of 5 of the fruit trees we have in our backyard. They are really pretty right now because they have all of these beautiful flowers on them. I think this one is pear. Or maybe peach? I guess it will be a surprise.

Baby Jonah

We finally blessed the man! Don't let his size decieve you. He is only just barely four months although he fits nicely into 12 months clothes.

Jonah has begun to chat and babble like crazy I love it!

There is nothing better than when this little man smiles. Seriously heaven.

Jonah and Dad on his blessing day. Isnt that hat the cutest? It used to be Rykers.

Gary gave a really nice blessing in the circle was Poppa Tod, Uncle Tyler, and Uncle Dave.

Great Grandma Colleen and Baby Jonah before his blessing.

We had our families come over after the blessing it was nice to have us all together! I didn't get pictures of everyone but here are a few.

We tried to get some of the cousins on the couch for a picture it didn't work out so well but it was humorous to look back through some of these. In this picture two out of 7 are crying and most of them aren't looking.
