Welcome Yellow Lightning AKA Roland's bright YELLOW LiveStrong wheeler!
YES, I finally caved and let him trade in the old for a new one. Roland literally chased me around with the Can-Am pamphlet for a week, dropped hints and took me up to "look" at them. Hey, he works hard, he's a great dad and husband, he deserves it!
So long red bullet...you were a great first four wheeler for our family. You saved us many times in blizzards with your plow. The kids love riding on you and climbing on you. You have been on many poker runs and have been covered with mud more times than we can remember. We hope someone kind adopts you and takes great care of you!
Leah has a brand new freaky quirk...she loves to take off her socks and check between her toes. Now, this sounds harmless right? Well, it is until she starts doing it to other people too! Yes, she checks between her brothers toes, Grandma's toes, you name it! Seriously, what the heck??
We broke out the popsicles yesterday afternoon after two sweaty kids came home from daycare. We were loving every minute of the warm weather!
Funny story... Last weekend we watched the movie "College Road Trip" on Disney with Seth. It had Raven Simone in it and it was all about a girl and her dad going on a road trip to visit colleges. They had all sorts of funny mishaps and we all laughed throughout the movie. When it was done Seth decided that he was terrified to go to college and that he isn't going. He actually cried about it. He informed us that he would be living with us forever. I tried to convince him that college is all sorts of fun and that Uncle J goes to college. Nope, he isn't having it. He is going to become a football player and doesn't want to go to college or leave us. I did use the football player angle to promote good dental hygiene, taking baths and eating healthy though. I told him he has to do all of those things without whining in order to become a big strong football player. Anyhow, he wrote the above letter and is storing it in a plastic Ziploc baggie so that we don't forget that he doesn't want to go to college. It is hysterical! Who worries about things that are 13 years into the future? That's our Seth!
Leah was so stinking funny as she found the eggs!
What is inside??
Mom and Gramp
Just hanging around!
Ruffle socks are the BEST!
The Easter Bunny was smart and put lots of new books in their baskets which they gladly enjoyed during mass. Thank goodness the Easter Bunny's school is having a BOGO book fair right now.
At the end of mass all the kids went to the front to get their Easter baskets blessed and they got some treats from Father Don. Leah is just a little excited! 
Happy Easter!
Don't worry I will make you a copy of this picture. I know you will be asking for one! :)
The Easter Bunny wrote everyone's names on the eggs and when they came out of the dye Seth was amazed to see everyone's names on the eggs. Good job Easter Bunny! ha ha!
Leah's hands were purple by the end of the 30 minute event and she cried when I dumped out the dye. She had so much fun!
Seth really enjoyed the whole experience this year too. He put stickers all over the eggs after they were dry too!
She probably would have dipped her face in the dye had we let her.
Thank you Grandma and Poppy, we couldn't have done it without you!
Go Leah Go! 
She is loving it and I'm not so sure how Seth feels about it!
It was also the first outing without a stroller and it felt wonderful not to have to lug something around with us. Leah did an awesome job walking for most of the zoo. She was funny, when an animal got too close she wanted up. I don't think she understands the fence concept and thought some of the animals were going to get her.
Can I just say thank goodness I have tall children considering I am not very tall to say the least.
Seth loves when Grandma joins us for special days.
The bear was super close to the fence and we got to watch him for a bit.
Play time!
Picnic time!
Fitness time!
Seth has serious hoarding issues. We just cleaned off his desk yesterday and look at it. Being that I have OCD issues this is driving me insane. God bless the woman he marries someday!
I took a spin on the scooter and I have to say it is super fun!
King of the world!
Noey is in full walking mode now so she and Leah were super cute together. At one point she climbed right into Leah's lap. Leah didn't know what to do. 
Check out this outfit that Leah picked out to wear on Saturday. She is wearing every color in the rainbow PLUS a tutu. What outfit is complete without a tutu right?? 
All of our favorite kids minus some that are out of town. From left to right Noey, Maya, Parker, Sophia, Seth and Leah 
I don't think we have ever turned down a meal at The Voss' because we know that it will be gourmet each and every time. This evening was no exception. They served open face chicken sandwiches, homemade mac and cheese, strawberry sunflower salad, Italian baked beans and sooooo much more. 
Endless food! 
After all of the food everyone chilled out for a bit and Leah has always had a soft spot for Sophia. 
Quiet time is over and the boys were back in full swing. 
Daddy's Girl! 
Dessert! Everyone loved my cookie dough stuffed cupcakes!
