At the Car Wash

We believe in hard labor for our children from a very young age. Even better if we can get their friend's involved.

It always helps when it is something fun like a CAR WASH!

Ryann had to change her clothes after the car wash... but that is part of the package deal of getting these kids to pull their own weight I am sure.

disclaimer- we do not believe in hard labor for children and if you don't believe me come to my house and you will see we don't even believe in hard labor for ourselves! It is a task in itself to get Ryann to clean up her toys!

Blog Neglect

This face could care less if her big sister has more pictures on the blog than she does.

All she cares about is if someone feeds her on time.

And maybe someone to smile at and clap when she stands up all by herself.

.

Last night we discovered she likes garbanzo beans and refried beans. We will now add that to the list of Macaroni and Cheese, french fries, veggie straws, and goldfish crackers.

Easter Videos

Hunting for Easter Eggs is always fun...

watching Ryann hunt is even more fun!

So is listening to her sing the "itsy bitsy spider"

Garden for Grandma

Rich tried to teach Ryann the value of good old fashion manual labor this weekend. He and his brother built a garden area for his mom and Ryann was really interested in it. But only the good parts- like when they had the nail gun. Other than that it was her running around in the grass/ weeds.
Which reminds me that I should probably get my garden started too.
You up for it Rich??

Happy Easter

Some day we will make it to the annual Wagner Family Easter Egg Hunt with the Easter Bunny (aka my brother Cory)... but until then we will happily enjoy the Baker's Easter Egg Hunt and amazing crepes for breakfast.

Ryann really did ask for a side pony tail.

She was running so fast I couldn't get a good picture of her Easter bucket.

I hope everyone has a happy Easter and takes some time to remember the real reason we celebrate Easter- the resurrection of Jesus Christ. He truly loves each and every one of us and because of him we can repent and daily strive to become better people.

Serious Business

Dyeing Easter Eggs is serious Business. I was surprised we got Ryann to look at us long enough to get a picture.
I think she just liked sticking her fingers in the dye and watching everyone freak out.
More pictures of East Festivities will be coming.

We Miss you

How come I already miss Zach? He hasn't even left for his mission yet but I already miss him.

Ryann has no idea how much she will miss him. She will be 5 when he gets home??!

Ack!

Zach when you are going to post on your blog?
