Hold my Hand, Daddy!!

this just steals my heart... sooo sweet!

My sweet little girl just growing up on me!!!

Ben hanging at the Ball Park and the Family Fun Day hosted by our church.
We have had a busy, busy weekend... starting with Spring Fling at our school and then Family Fun Day at the ball park sponsored by our church... not to mention that we have had people wanting to look at our house (which is a good thing)but just causing a little interruption to your normal Saturday... but I am HOPING somebody likes it...
Anyways... these pictures were taken at the Ball Park... Craig was there at 7:00 am to help set up the inflatables etc and the kids and I joined him around 10 am. We stayed out there practically all day... Katie got to watch some of her best buds play a little ball.
This afternoon after church, we head over to a Sunday School lunch at the Oswalds. It was a great day, the kids played while the adults sat around and chatted and laughed and just enjoyed each other's company... I hope we are able to do this more often!!!

some folks having a little lunch and chatting!

some of the men supervising the children!! Craig, Scott and Ray....
Will post more later... have to scoot... to church ....again!!! :0

Happy Easter

Happy Easter, everyone!!! Of course we began the day with checking out what the Easter bunny had left!!! Katie was thrilled with her Hannah Montana video and Ben with his Bolt movie plus tons of candy and treats! Craig had 8:00 ushering duties so we met up with him at church... At our church we have a cross out by the main road where families can bring flowers from their yards and add to the cross. It is a beautiful display!!! So... we attempted to do this and get pictures... we tried a family on but Ben was crying and being a...well... three year old so I did not include that one but we got some good ones of the kids...
So, here are some pictures of our day....

A little pampering and Girl time...

Mimi and Pop came up last night. Unfortuntely we don't get to spend Easter Sunday with them since we have commitments at our church and dad has to preach sunrise service in Columbus. But, we had a great visit... Mom, Katie and I had planned to go to see Wicked and it was great while the boys did what boys do....eat, go to Home Depot, watch the Masters and take a nap... Soooo fun was had by all!!!


The Mimi pedicure...first, soak the feet!!!

Then, the color... Ben is checking out the action!


Katie gives a wink... loving her pedi and mani with mimi!!


Of Course, Ben had to get a little foot soaking in.... But don't worry no nail polish for the "ALL Boy!" but who doesn't love their feet rubbed and cleaned!!!

Then Saturday, Mimi, Katie and I went to lunch and to see the Broadway musical: Wicked... Craig and I saw this in NYC a few yeas ago and LOVED it... Katie and MIMI really loved it... The voices on these people are amazing...

Mimi and Katie at lunch... at the Village Tavern

Mom and me... just love spending time with my mom and daughter... way too much fun... I let Katie have coke for lunch and boy does that make her go nuts... Mom and I just laughed at her!

Here we are about to go in to the musical... Katie really enjoyed it and somewhat got the story line... Mom and I are wanting to plan a trip to NYC in a few years with Katie to go see a few more!!!
