Boys' Outtakes

We have had the craziest weather here and I haven't been able to take Gideon's 4 year pictures or Asher's 18 month pictures.  SO we finally have had some decent days and decided to go for it!  The first park we went to still had too  much flooding to really get a lot of pictures, so we headed off to a second park with more options.  We still had to avoid lots of puddles and mushy grass, but it worked out OK.  I love to share some of the funny pictures that will not be printed or sent to anyone... 

Here is Asher thinking this is a fun game.

 

I told Gideon to put his hands on his hips and he didn't have a clue what I meant, so I placed his hands there . . . looks very natural, huh?!? OK, maybe not.

Asher was in rare form, he knew exactly what was going on and he would smile a naughty grin and then turn away as quickly as he could.   

Check out his eyes on this one . . . what a stinker!!

 Gideon tried really hard to cooperate, but that proved difficult with Briella finding cool or dirty things to show him and Dad trying to keep Asher happy and clean.

 In the end, the best smiles came when I said, "Asher, show me your tummy!!"

 Well, I did capture a few cute ones that I will edit and share later . . . We are loving the sunshine here in MI :)

Easter/Spring Break/90th Birthday

 Here we are Easter morning in Kansas City.  We spent about 2.5 days in Kansas City.

 Monday we headed to Branson where the weather was not too delightful, but the kids wanted to swim.  We were able to swim at an indoor pool one day as well.

 The nice place we stayed had plenty of beds and tons of space. (Lots of clouds and rain, too)

 After 2.5 days in Branson we headed up to Hull, IA.  We visited my Grandma VM and celebrated Grandma M. 90th birthday!  Briella said "I have two really old grandmas."  (Note to Moms, I explained that the 'really old' grandmas we really her great-grandmas and the 'kind of old' ones are her garndmas ;))
