Case Family April-May 2011

Look Ma, I'm getting teeth! Deakin got his first tooth a couple weeks ago, and now the other bottom tooth is coming in too. No bites yet, I'm crossing my fingers.

More cute teeth pics
For Jonny's spring break we went to a condo in Park City called the Hillside Marriott. It was so great! We went swimming, shopping, took naps, and ate junk food 'til our belly ached. The hotel has a kids section where they do crafts and activities all day long. This is a picture of the turtle races. It was so much fun!

More activities: Me and Dillon finger painting with colored pudding. Dillon wouldn't taste it for the life of him, and was horrified when I put it in my mouth.

Squeakin being the ham that he is. He is crawling...more like zooming on all fours. He can pull himself up to standing, but gets pretty ornery when he falls on his buns.

The boys designing their turtles. Jonny was of course making a green "Celtics" turtle.

For Easter this year we went to Idaho for my Grandfather's 80th birthday. It was SOOOO much fun. No drama, just laughs and fun. We all stayed in this giant storage shed that a family in the area turned into a guest house. I'm sure Moe and Ari didn't like sleeping in the same room and waking up with our kids, but hey, we loved it. I think we are going to try and go again sometime in the summer when it is warmer and go boating. I'll pack some earplugs for them.


This is a picture of Mom trying desperately to read a book to Gage...who was not having any of it. It was really funny. He was so disinterested in being held by Grandma, we were all laughing.

Squeaky showing off his camera smile. I didn't even know that he knew to smile for the camera until this weekend when Grandpa was trying to take pictures, and sure enough every time the little light on the camera was pointed in his direction we got a big old gummy smile!

I am excited to report that this year's Easter Egg Hunt went MUCH better than last years. Last year Dill couldn't' understand the concept of only picking up a certain number of eggs. So, last year, after he picked up 3/4 of all the eggs hidden, we had to divvy up his loot for the other kids and that was really hard for a 3 year-old. This year, he understood that he could only pick up 15 (at least I think that was the number). It was a success, and a nightmare for cavities!


All of the grand kids (minus Deakin) getting ready for the hunt! Dillon...such a good big brother...look at him holding Gager for the picture. :)

Our cousin Lana left her babies bottle here, so Deakin made good use of it!

We have been LOVING the warm weather: biking, hiking, and just playing in the backyard! We love Heber and how beautiful it is here...quiet, and lots of trails!

Just showing off my skills!

I LOVE it!! Squeakin's teeth are SOOO cute! I hate that my kid is such a brat...but it's kinda funny too.
