Coloring Eggs

Grandma Roberts was kind enough to volunteer her house this year to color eggs (she is lucky and doesn't have carpet under her kitchen table). I think his grin (and fingers) say it all.








Samantha had fun coloring eggs, just not me taking her picture I guess.

Easter on the Farm

Grandma and Grandpa Orr had an Easter egg hunt at their house this year. It was a little wet, but this is Oregon, so you just go with it. Grandma also decided to not mow the pasture, poor Riley, the grass was up to his waist in some places. All the kids had a lot of fun, of course. And they all got tons of candy.

It took Riley a few minutes to figure out what to do, and even then he was very determined to find the eggs by himself, and carry his own bucket.




I am very proud of my girls. When they filled their buckets, they would bring eggs they found to the boys to make sure they had plenty, too.

Breakfast

Yup, I am one of those mom's that whips out the camera instead of the wash cloth. Couldn't resist. You never know what is going to happen at meal time around here.

Salem Carousel

I don't know who has more fun, the kids, parents, grandparents, or great-grandparents when we go to the Salem Carousel. Samantha had her first ride when she was about 7 months old. And we have tried to squeeze in a ride with each visit since. The girls were so excited to ride, and spend their time in line picking out what horse to ride. JJ and Riley were sharing their excitement...until they got on the horses. Riley would cling very tightly to who ever was holding him. JJ on the other hand found the wagons that go around, but not up and down. He was very happy to ride on those.

Riley...having fun?

We have been back since I took these pictures. The girls, of course had fun riding horses, JJ went straight for the wagons, and had a blast. Riley...I tried to take my cue from him. He sat in the stroller, seeming content to people watch. The last time, I asked if he wanted to ride and he sat on the wagon with JJ.
