Spring break

We had a great spring break! It started off with us going to Monkey Bizness with Collette and the kids and some other wives and kids of the dotcomsecret family. The kids had tons of fun in all the chaos, and I somehow managed not to have a panic attack. It was crowded and the boys were easily lost, but I always found them and they always came back. Dex was camera shy and wouldn't go down the giant slide if I had the camera out, so I had to sneak the pics of him. Even Ivy got in on the action in the under 3 years old zone. She loved climbing on things and going down the mini slide. She was so tired since it was nap time, but was such a good sport.

The day after Monkey Bizness my sister Max, her husband Mark, and their kids Jeff, Regin and Andrew came to visit for a few days. We love having visitors and we had so much fun with them. Unfortunately it was a cold weekend and we didn't get to do some of the fun things we wanted to, and the older kids were probably pretty bored much of the time. But I thought it was fun just to have them around. Regin latched right onto Ivy and Ivy just loved her. Regin would help Ivy practice walking, and hold her while I was busy, and babysit while Corbin and Dex were in the bath. She was such a good helper, I wish she was always around. The adults stayed up late at night playing games or talking and giggling, and acting silly. It was just like old times. The kids all colored eggs (and their hands) together, and they spent Easter with us. We couldn't have had a better time! Thanks for coming guys, we miss you already!
