Easter

For me Easter and family go together.  Christ is who Easter is about and what He did for each one of us but being a happy family is so intertwined in the Masters plan that I think sharing this special day is one of my favorite things!  We joined the Newell clan at Mom and Dad's and missed the Krebs.  (we are grateful they didn't pass on the sickness though!)
My camera was working on and off this weekend so I missed photos of the traditional egg roll--well I got it on my phone but now I need to find out how to get it off :)   
Natalie came up to me, after the egg roll, in tears because her favorite egg was cracked!  Thankfully she made two very similar gold eggs so I reminded her she had the other in her pocket and she happily ate the first one and kept the other safe the rest of the day.




Beth and Gannon.  I'm VERY HAPPY helping take care of this little guy!

Matt started the egg toss and it was a fun success!

Paige and Natalie decided to try and roll it


Winners Hannah and Carter with the chest pump--they were on fire!

Natalie eating another egg.  


Looking at the thrown egg--these two had a good attitude at their lack of wins. 

another chest pump for Madalyn and Carter


don't these pictures just make you smile!!

Natalie's 4th Birthday

 Well I decided I had better post a few photos of Natalie's Birthday Party since April is officially over.  Mom has more photos on her camera but I don't have those available right now.  
I forgot how easy a 4 year olds party is!  We ran out of time since it takes them longer to stay on track :)


She wanted a Tangled Tower but I talked her into the castle


the candy game-definitely NOT the game for 4 yr olds.  Just give em the candy.

Cousins and sister doing the "hair chain" as they use one of her new toys after the party
This is actually the 2nd time blowing out the candles as another little boy did it for her the 1st time


Does she have older sisters or what!
