Happy Easter

We had a great Easter weekend. We went to the Easter egg hunt at the park.




The kids found more eggs at home with their cousins.


We had a great church service celebrating the resurrection! In their dressy clothes for church.



And here is what Ryan built for Alli for Easter. I had been looking for her a storage place for her dress-up stuff. When I saw how much they cost I decided that Ryan could probably build her one for a fraction of the cost. I think it turned out fantastic!

Soccer

Allison had her first soccer game today. It was freezing cold, rainy, and windy but she had a great time. She even scored a goal..........sort of.:)

Unfortunately she spent more time smiling and waving at us then actually going after the ball but oh well!

Lego Mania!

After being rained out of soccer and baseball we decided to go to the new Lego store at Castleton Square Mall. JJ had been saving his money to buy something when the store opened. The problem with this plan was it was the grand opening weekend of the store so thousands of other people had the same idea that we did. After standing in line for about 2 hours to get into the store we were finally able to push and shove our way around with a hundred other people. Then we got to stand in line for another hour to pay for our purchase. By the end I was hot, tired, and cranky, however, JJ declared that it was totally worth it!! JJ with his new lego set.

Happy Birthday JJ!

Today JJ turned 6..........where does the time go???? He woke up this morning and informed me that he feels older!




And no Schmidt birthday post would be complete without a picture of the cake. Here is the lego cake Ryan made for him. He tried his hand at fondant this time, turned out pretty good. I'm a little nervous, I hear the next cake may involve pyrotechnics!
