Easter Weekend

We spent the Easter weekend up at Eric's parents house.  His entire family was there plus a new puppy so there was never a dull moment.  Kelli and I planned out a "Zumba-thon" for Saturday morning.  She and Lisa were super excited (they both get licensed for Zumba this coming weekend in Minneapolis)!

Jamie and Kacie, were not.  They were first timers and were worried about their images.  Ha!  They tried to hide in the back of the class with no luck!

They probably won't be too happy about these pictures, but oh well!  My blog, I'll do what I want!

Grandpa Danny was secretly wishing he could scoooch on in and dance with us.  He definitely was back row material, if you know what I mean. ; )  Check out my air tho!  Wooohoo!  Thanks to Gma Kim for taking the pictures.  Its fun to see us in action!

And one more - I like this one.  Check out the future Zumba princess watching from the high chair.

This is what the kids did ALL weekend.  Gma and Gpa treated them to not ONE but TWO Power Wheels vehicles.

To say that they liked them is an understatement.  And its a good thing there were two or there would have been some serious fights.

Even the littlest cousins could drive them (with supervision of course)!

Here's Hobey (or Homer, as Eric likes to call him) chasing Kelli.  This is Lisa and Chandler's new puppy.  The kids have a love/hate relationship with him.  Since he's a puppy, he likes to bite when he is playing.  They all were NOT fans of that.  Avery kept shaking her fist at him and yelling, "NO! NO!"  The older kids went the "I'm going to run super fast to get away from you" route, which only egged poor Homer on.  Make him want to bite them even more!

Avery, Easton and Addi drive with pillows behind their backs so they can reach the pedals.  Once we figured out that they could drive them, it became evident that Gma and Gpa need THREE Power Wheels.  Its not our fault they had so many kids!  Side note: They admitted that they got them as a bribe to get everyone to come home more.  Guess we're gonna need that third Power Wheels vehicle then! ; )

Gma Kim loves her picture times!  Clearly the rest of us do too!

The 7 grandkids.  If you look closely, Kacie is also in this picture.

And here's Easter morning.  Bunny had just come.

And our holiday attempt at a family picture.  Brown grass, bright sun, forced smiles = mediocre picture.  OH well.  Summer, shades and real smiles are coming soon!

Hope you all had a good Easter!
