Oh Boy!

 Cutest darn little thing in the world!

 Need we say more?

 Out of control hair...

 Curly his hair still looks like Lyle Lovette....poor kid. :)

This little boy brightens everyone's world.  Love his innocence and his happiness. 

Family Easter

 Cousin Natalie got the bubbles out right after dinner...so much for a clean dress....

 Of course, every kid in a dress should be on a trampoline!

 This poor Easter dress took quite the beating....

 And this would have been the closest thing mommy got to taking a pretty picture of Avery in her Easter dress.  If the weather ever warms up and not so windy, we might have to get some actual pics of the kids dressed up.

 And now out come the play clothes....bring on the croquet match!

 Future golfer perhaps?  Avery entertained Diane on the "course".

 This was the beginning of the egg hunt....the candy is not in eggs at the Daily hunt.  Avery seemed to think she had to eat her way through the hunt.  She consumed WAY TOO MUCH!

 Haselby boys waiting for the hunt to begin....

 and they're off!

 She looks like she is up to no good...

 Handfuls of treats!

Now she really looks like she is up to no good!

Easter Morning

 Avery loves stuffed animals....no matter what the animal is but she especially loved this little lamb.

 Let the egg hunt begin!

 Even little man got into the hunting game.

 He is happy with one egg...he will just take it easy and watch sis now.

 "Looky here....now I've got two eggs!"

 "eeeehhhh....there is stuff inside the eggs!!!"

 "The Easter Bunny brought us money too!!!!  Candy & Money!!!!"

 "Now how did she get these darn things to open?"

 Checking out all the loot inside the eggs...

 Baby boy chillin' with his new froggy.

 Isn't it bad luck if you open in the house?  Oh well...Avery bug testing it out even though we haven't needed it much this spring.

 Braylin making his way through his Easter basket

 "oooohhhhh....another ball!"

 Braylin is starting to enjoy looking at books.

 More eggs!

 The Easter Bunny was very good to the kids this year and they both seemed to have lots of fun Easter morning :)

Nothing better than bubble fun in pj's on a Sunday morning!

Mommy's dreaded activity

 Oh how mommy had put this tradition off hoping to run out of time....but then the guilt sat in and we boiled the eggs....

 Great egg coloring spectator!

 Wonderful....she is wired and armed with breakable eggs.

 Avery did do a good job of the coloring.  Mommy has to remember next year to try the solo cups instead of these shallow glass bowls (figured they wouldn't tip as easy)

 Avery still enjoyed the glittering of the eggs the best....there were a lot of casualites this year as she was having a hard time understanding not to beat the bag on the table with the egg in it.  Oh well....it is all about the fun of it, right?

The survivors :)

Welcome to our world :)

 Here...finally a good picture of our pretty little girl.  The funny thing is that she was in a time out.  So timeouts=decent picture opportunity?

 Yeah...Avery has THIS effect on him... :)

"where we going now mama?"

Indy Zoo @ Springtime

 We are off and heading into the zoo.  This little guy is ready to go!

 The tigers are our favorite stop since this exhibit opened last May.  They are so cool to watch.

 "Here kitty kitty kitty...."

 The male tiger was really frisky and active...he was attacking a ball, running all over, jumping up on the rocks..very much putting on a show for everyone.

 And this is what happens when a 2yr old who hasn't had a nap is told NO-she cannot swim or pet the dolphins...oye!

 But even though Avery was having a meltdown, the dolphins continued to happily swim by us

The sharks were one of Avery's favorites this time.  Braylin loved it too but mommy was quite freaked out as the sharks kept coming out (like 1/2-3/4 of their bodies) of the water.  It was quite creepy and they had never done that when we had been there before....

 Love this smile...he makes everything better no matter what!

 And this is the "smile" mom gets now when asked  to take a picture....

 Mommy's boys :)

 Happy Feet....the penguins always entertain

 Avery loves her bears...we had to make two stops to see the polar bear as he was sleeping where we couldn't see him the first time through!

And again with the smile....gotta love it.
