Pass the Pacifier

My sister posted this video on our Weir family blog but it's so cute I thought I'd put it on here too. This is Donald and his cousin Ashley playing on Easter Sunday.

So Much Easter Fun!

On Saturday we had the Hunters over for some Easter Egg Dyeing fun! Things are always better with cousins. The kids got really creative and started dying their eggs in multiple colors, that's why some of the eggs are brown/grey.


Ethan and Shari, really enjoying themselves.

James and Seth, also enjoying themselves but not wanting to show off their new haircuts. I think they look great but they had their hoods on the entire visit.

Adrian, Charlie, and Rebecca seemed to take a more serious approach to egg dyeing.


After all that fun Dan barbecued us some hamburgers and hot dogs and it was such a yummy dinner. I am always glad when we can have dinner with the Hunters.

Sunday started with Easter baskets and an Easter egg hunt. It was so much fun.

One of the highlights for the girls was getting to wear their new Easter outfits. Friday, we had a special day at the mall and the girls picked outfits to include headbands and shoes. It was really fun.

We couldn't imagine a blog without Donald so we tried to take a picture of him but he really wasn't in the mood.

After church we had a lovely Easter dinner with the Hunters and Goughs. It was so much fun and we had such nice weather that we got to spend the afternoon outside.

Pictures on other Posts

My very talented sister, Shari, visited us for their spring break and she took some cute pictures of Donald David. I thought it'd be easier to include the link rather than copy the pictures. You might think she makes him look cuter than he actually is but no, he really is that cute.

Rebecca especially enjoyed the Kurtz family visit because Shari's baby Leah adored her and followed her around for a few days. It's just the kind of thing to make Rebecca smile. She had so much fun with Leah. Here is a link to a picture of the cute little duo.

Finished Basement

We've been enjoying our new basement for a couple of weeks and finally took pictures to show how much fun it is. Here is Charlie brushing his teeth in the new bathroom for the kids.


Here is the boys new room. It's only one half but the other half looks the same except with a big window and no dresser. They love their new room and we love not hearing them when they wake up in the morning.
This is a small play area under the stairs. It's the Harry Potter suite.

Here is the girls room. They love their new space and they have a great closet. We love not having too see their mess all the time.

Here is the new basement office. We use it for a coloring room. It includes an easel and cupboard with coloring books and supplies. There's also a computer and table. The kids used it to make shields and daggers from cardboard with their cousins. They had so much fun.

Birthday Boy

We had so much fun yesterday. We took lots of movies but I'll have to figure out which ones I want to put on the blog. For now it's easier to do pictures. We started out the day with a lot of singing of Happy Birthday. Donald even started saying "cha cha cha" between the phrases like his big brothers and sisters. After we sent all the kids to school we made cupcakes and Donald got to eat his first cake batter. He loved it as you can see.

After we got done with the cupcakes I realized I'd forgotten to get him some balloons. Charlie thought we couldn't have a birthday without balloons so we went out for a quick trip to Walmart. While in the balloon aisle Donald noticed all the ready made helium balloons and they made him squeal and smile so of course I couldn't resist getting him one. This is the one he picked out.
We also blew up a bunch of regular balloons and they kept him busy for most of the afternoon. After his nap he played basketball with his brother but it was cold enough that he didn't argue too much when I brought him back in. For dinner we had his very favorite which is spaghetti. He was in heaven. He ate more spaghetti than all of our big kids.
He stuffed himself with so much spaghetti he wasn't to into the whole cupcake thing. He was enthralled by his 1 little candle but then he wanted to squish and then share his cupcake with all of us.
For presents he got a new pair of shoes, a ball and Donald sized basket, and a cute stuffed pelican from Rebecca. He also got the entire Legos Star Wars XBOX game but that's kind of a present for all of us. It was a happy happy Birthday.
