Rolling






We went bowling with friends on Saturday night, and Marilynn and Erika also decided to try it out for the first time. And, yes, it is true - Marilynn scored higher than I did. Marilynn calls it "rolling" instead of "bowling," and I'm thinking her term makes more much sense anyways.

Playdate at the Zoo










Scandoulous - Ken and another stay at home dad have been doing playdates with two stay-at-home moms on Fridays lately. Someone asked me if I was worried about Ken having all of this time with women during the day, and I was like "surely, you've never had to watch 8 kids all at once." This past Friday, they all headed out to the zoo and had a blast - 4 adults and 8 kids!

Marilynn's Swim Lessons



Marilynn started swim lessons at the YMCA last week and she is like a fish to water!

Easter!

I'm still recovering from Easter weekend! Ate way too much food, had way too much fun with the girls and wish I could do it all over again. We had our good friends Charles and Angela up from California and had a yummy brunch with them (no pictures to show for that, unfortunately). Then, we dyed Easter Eggs and made cupcakes on Saturday afternoon. Then, on Sunday, we went to church - the girls LOVED their new dresses from Maw-Maw and twirled around in them all morning long in church. Erika kept saying "princess" "princess." Then, we ended the special day will a big dinner with a few of our good friends. Hope everyone had a very happy Easter!


Erika really got into painting the eggs this year. Last year she couldn't even walk! She's growing up so fast.
Here's our carrot cake cupcake creations. Marilynn LOVES cupcakes and candy, so this was her perfect dessert.
The girls were adorable in their dresses. It looks like Erika is reaching up for a hug, but she really just wanted the camera.
In front of church - trying not to freeze. I miss California and Texas Easter weather.
Our dinner party - notice how most of the guys have their mouths full!

And, Marilynn enjoyed hostessing her own end of the table.
