Matthew and his Speed Stackers

Matthew still loves those speed stackers.

He got the professional timer now and

he loves trying to break records, his own

and others from school and Youtube. We

keep planning to put a video on Youtube,

and we will so there will be more to come

for you to see on the speed stacking.

This was a shot we took laughing at his tower of

cups and this big mouth basking shark. We said

they looked so much alike he had to be in the picture

with him.

Painted Lady Butterflys

Matthew got some baby caterpillars for his birthday

and of course with time they became butterfly's.

We let them out the other day, because it was such

a beautiful day and they needed to be free from that

little mesh house that they came out into. They

actually sat on the kids hands and fingers before

taking flight. Of course as soon as they were gone

Matthew wanted to know when we could get some

more!

Spring Break a day at Carowinds!

We headed to Carowinds on one of their days off

with Mrs. Christie, Grace and Joe. The weather was

nice until around 2pm and then it got a little rainy

and gray. That was okay since we had done just

about all we wanted since we got there at 9:30 and

they let us in early. Elizabeth and I got in line for

the new roller coaster, The Intimidator, which I have

to say was more than a little scary, but she loved it!

They all had a great time and in one year Christie and

I will consider doing it again, hahaha!

The balloons are a hit with all of them!

Joe and Matthew were happiest just goofing off!

How funny are Elizabeth and Joe and how obnoxious is

this board!

Grace, Elizabeth and Matthew loved the Rip Roaring Rapids.

Christie rode once with them, but I escaped this one!

Easter Sunday!

Well the Easter Bunny stopped by the DeLanghe's

and of course left some candy and a few toys and

such. The kids were both happy with their things

and enjoyed some candy before heading out to church.

We had never seen Marley & Me, but can't say we

had missed much. It was sad and had a little more

to explain in it than I wanted to explain, Oh well!

Unfortunately David had to work all weekend so we

didn't get to take a family picture. We missed having

him with us and our pictures have an empty spot.

We had our own little Easter egg hunt. It was pretty

hot that day so we only lasted thru a few hides, but we

had a nice day and a great lunch. David enjoyed his

a little later in the afternoon, but it was still good!

Easter Eggs

I am getting behind on picture posting, but

here are our egg dying pics. The kids each

did 10 since we lost a few to cracks and to

my lunch that day. They got pretty creative

with the glitter glue and some dipping to make

stripes. I think they had some really colorful

baskets!

I think this is supposed to be her Dad, it looks like

Him!

So serious!

Elizabeth's

Matthew's

Elizabeth went to our church's Easter egg hunt.

Matthew of course wasn't interested, even with

candy he opted out!
