Lots To Update!!

I have been putting off updating the ole bloggy blog b/c I feel overwhelmed! Here is what has been happening the last 10 days or so, but bare with me for some of these photos are out order!
We were SO happy to have Steve and Linda fly in last Friday afternoon to help celebrate Stella's birthday. Stella had a joint bday party with Haydn this year, who is turning 4 on April 7th.
Grandma and Grandpa got Stella a new bicycle for her birthday. She is in love with it and luckily has been able to ride it everyday since receiving it! :) Dad and Steve at the birthday party.
Mom and Dad left the convertible at our house after the party in case Steve and Linda wanted their own wheels while they were in Iowa. The weather has been SO awesome the last couple of days that we moved the carseats into the convertible and tootled around DSM today with the top down!
Steve and Linda were able to take Stella to school one morning and meet her teachers and see her classroom.
A few days before Steve and Linda arrived the kids decorated their bunny house that Nana gave them, they enjoyed eating the frosting off of it!
Mom and Sara at the birthday party.
The Birthday Girls getting ready to blow out their candles.
Who is having fun?!?!?
Tearing into their gifts.
Coloring Easter eggs. You can notice that this was taken after Porters haircut.
Part of Stella's gift from mom and dad was taking her to Build-A-Bear, she has never been before and from the sounds of it, she had a BALL!!!!! She choose a pink bear and named it Stella.
With all of her LOOT!
We took Porter to get a haircut the day after Stella's party. He hadn't had a haircut since July or August...so it was about time! :) He did really well, but did cry a little b/c "He didn't want his curls gone"!! He still has his curls and looks as cute as ever! :)

What a great time we had with everyone, and many many thanks to J&D for the use of the car. Had a ball. Always great to see our kids and grandbabies, extra bonus to see J&D and K&M and S&W, what a great family Mike married into. We love them all
