Easter celebrations!!

Where do I begin...well the weekend started out by dying Easter eggs. After a few colored fingers the girls and I colored a dozen eggs. I think they ate 4 of them while in the process! They are egg fanatics!

 Then on Friday we celebrated Uncle Nick's 40th Birthday, Easter with the Clausen's and Karlen's confirmation at the country club in Holstein.

oh so cute and innocent...

 We went to Chad's sister Kristi's house to celebrate Easter Sunday. They live in southern Iowa near Pisgah. The weather was little chilly during our hunt but the girls still had a great time.

 Kendal is still talking about getting to ride horses with her cousins Mason and Malachi. I don't think she stopped smiling! The girl just is in love with horses. In fact she told Kristi and boys that she would be back to spend the night and a day to ride the horses.

 We also celebrated Aunt Kristi being 3 years Cancer Free! We can't say enough prayers of thanks for this great celebration!!!!

 Yes that is correct.. if you read the shirt close enough you will see that we are expecting Baby Nemo #3! We told the girls for the first time on Friday before the weekend. The response from Kendal was a little surprising. She cried and said she did not want a baby...as we are video taping we ask why and she says I don't want a baby brother because he will grow up and be mean to me...so I say well what about a sister...she says I already have a sister....so we shut the video tape off and continue to tell her it will be ok..She continues to tell us to give the baby to someone else so...after wiping off our tears and putting on her new shirt she started to become ok with it. Then after telling all of our family the news she has become excited. In fact today she was telling everyone in the grocery store and rubbing my tummy. So I think she is ok with it now:) She says she wants another sister but I am sure that will change. I am almost 14 weeks pregnant and due October 28th but it will be a scheduled C-section prob the week before!! So we will have a little spook on our hands!

We ended the weekend by going out for a few holes of golf! Kendal got to drive the Barbie car behind us so she thought she was pretty cool!

Dancing Diva

Today Grandma Sharon and Grandpa  Joe came to visit so Grandma could help get Kendal ready for her Dance Pictures. I think Kendal enjoyed it! She totally loved every minute of the the glitter in the hair, make up and dressing up! When her Daddy saw her he said oh you look so grown up and Kendal says don't cry!

Happy Birthday Chloe!

Finally the sun cam out this weekend so I had to bring my little flowers outside! We went to Spencer today to celebrate Chloe's 1st Birthday and Emma's 11th B-day. The girls once again got colds this past week so it was nice to get out of the house today. Cora has been in big girl panties for one week now! she is doing pretty good, she still is scared to poop on the potty but hopefully that will come.


Kendal playing with Emma's giant doll house, she was in heaven!
