Tulip Festival

Today, we went with Gran and Daddo to the Tulip Festival. The flowers were beautiful. The weather was gorgeous. The kids managed to smile in most of the pictures. Right after our walk through the tulips, we took the kids to the kid area (which had inflatable slides, bounce houses, swings, wooden shoes to climb in and much more).

Soccer Sludge Practice

He said it was the best practice ever.





I am so glad he wore that white shirt. He purposely rolled in mud.

Honestly, what coach lets the boys throw mud at each other after practice? Oh right, my husband- his dad- is the coach.

Just so you know, the picture doesn't do those muddy black socks justice...they were muuuudy.

Oh, for the love of Heinz

At dinner tonight, Momma and the boys were discussing foods.

Jonathan: What's Daddo's favorite food?

Momma: I don't know - maybe steak.

Jonathan: My favorite food is pizza.

David: My favorite food is Chili!

Thomas: My favorite is Ketchup.

Computer Kid Love Story

Thomas got in trouble right before bed last night. I wonder if this inspired his "I don't love you" computer thoughts this morning.

Thomas (age 4):

Momma, I am a computer and I write down bad stuff... and sometimes good stuff.

Momma: Oh really?

Thomas: Yes. One time I wrote down that I didn't love you but then I deleted it.

(pause)

Thomas: Then, I wrote that I love you more than you love me.

Easter Pictures

Our Easter celebration was fantastic. I always take a ton of pictures. This morning I tried to select a few favorites and I ended up with 20 pictures saved as "EasterFavs". I'll post the Easter Egg pictures in the next post.

David wakes up first in our house. On Easter morning, he colored while waiting for his brothers to wake up. He didn't even touch his basket.


Jonathan asked and asked for a chocolate bunny this year. I told him I might find one. In truth, I had a hard time finding one that didn't have a peanut allergy warning. He was really happy with his bunny.


Thomas is the messiest eater in our house. He does not mind being messy.


Thomas played a drum at church. He was precious. I adore this picture of him.


Elisabeth was beautiful. Her dress was made with love by Mimi.


The boys got to play the Wii on Easter afternoon. They were happy and handsome.

Happy Easter from the Owen Family

I never get tired

David (age 6):

"Momma, I usually never get tired but my body totally does."

April Fool's Dinner

The whole family enjoyed an April Fool's style dinner tonight.

The kids were delighted with the surprise dessert pizza.


The kids thought the jello drink was really funny.
