Pre-Easter...After Easter

I promise there is a reason for posting these pictures so late...a week of activities is alot of pictures and I was just dreading it...so I'll do a little at a time!

We started Easter on Monday night with a Easter Feast, a special FHE lesson, dying easter eggs, and eating sugar cookies...

Then...a easter package from Cory's mom! Crew loved everything in it, and Remington loved eating everything in it!

Saturday we had the Allen family Easter party. Lots of food, Lots of people, and Lots of fun! We relaxed while Stetson took Crew on the egg hunt and Holly held Remington pretty much the whole time! Crew also enjoyed swimming with all the kids!

Now....hopefully I can post the pictures of Easter day and Easter night sometime this week!

Ahhh....a vacation!

Cory and I had a great vacation this past week. It was so fun to spend time with one another and to relax! I was able to finish 3 books! We had lots of fun in Mexico, eating, laying out, playing cards, and just being together! We definatly missed the boys! But as I watched a few other moms on the boat carrying one child and pushing a stroller with the other child I was glad that wasnt me! Maybe when they get a little older!!!

We decided to go parasailing in Cabo. It was lots of fun! We just tried not to listen to the creeking sounds or look at the frayed ropes the whole time!

I had to get a pic with this pirate for Crew!

Dinner was fun....usually. We had interesting people with us. But it was fun to have a nice sit down dinner...without kids every night. Cory pretty much ate a steak every single night, I had just about everything!

Cory's Favorite Towel Animal...the crab

My Favorite Towel animal....the monkey!

Family Home Evening

Crew had his 1st Bowling experience Monday night for FHE. We started the night with pizza,wings, and garlic bread at a pizza place near by and then went to the bowling alley. And Crew was estatic the second we walked in! He loved wearing the shoes, carrying the ball, rolling the ball, and seeing the pins go down! It was sure fun to watch his excitement! (And don't mind the pizza faces and the naptime hair...at this point I was glad that we were all there and happy!)

He then put his game face on...no messing around here! Remington was happy as ever! Cory was a pro like always! Crew loved waiting for his ball and getting it BY HIMSELF...he let us know many times that he could do it alone!

I promise we did get him out of his car seat! He was just so content in there that we milked it for as long as we could!

"Two boys" (as crew would say)

ya...I don't think normal people do this in the bowling alley

And here he is in action!

Thinking he is THE COOLEST thing EVER!!!

And unfortunatly he has got us fooled...because we do think he is the coolest thing ever!

We love Crew and the excitement he brings to our family.....and I cannot wait to see Remington's personality continue to grow! We sure have fun as a family! And Im loving every second of it!

New Puppies...

My mom's dog had 4 puppies a few weeks ago. Crew thinks it is his dog and that the white puppy is his. (which I dont mind because his dog fix is taken care of) He loves to go check on his puppy, whitey (which he named) all the time. Remington cannot control himself when he sees the puppies he starts kicking like a maniac and waving his arms fast enough until he can touch a puppy. And that is why my mom is holding his arms down in the pic below. Now I can only imagine what is going to take place when the puppies are gone...( and whitey has already been picked by the dad's family)
