Spring Break!

We started out our spring break with rain. So Mom came up with the great idea of waking Uncle Scott and Aunt Jennie up at 6:30am to see if they would be up for a visit. I guess she figured we were up, so they should be too! ; )
Madison here we come!


This is Murphy. We were trying to make friends with him.
He thought that was a great idea.



No Aunt Jennie, you're supposed to walk on your feet!

Uncle Scott, do you know the ABC's?


Aunt Jennie and Uncle Scott are too much fun!


After Madison, we went back home for a couple of days and then went back to Wisconsin to Grandma and Grandpa's house. The next day we went even farther north to our Great Grandma's town.....and we were busy!


We started at her job, the grocery store. It was time for her break, so we took her to the
restaurant for some breakfast.


On our way there, we ran into Uncle Jim!


Then Uncle Paul.
Is everyone in this town my uncle?


No, we have Grandpa's too!
Here's Grandpa Steve, Grandpa Bob, and Grandpa Lyle.


Yes, Great Grandma Joyce I am that cute!

Look Grandma Karen and Grandma Toots!
My pancake has chocolate on it!
Don't tell Mom!

After breakfast, we went out to the farm to see some cows.
Apparently we were supposed to meet Uncle David, Uncle Mark, Uncle Eric, and cousin Chad, but they were all busy.


Hey, that cow and I both have blue jackets on!


What's in his ear?


Come on Ryal, let's get out of here!


Uh oh, we might be out of gas!


Hurry up Owen, we don't have all day! I think we have more uncles to meet.


Okay, we're ready to go.



This is more like it.
That gator is for amateurs!

Once we were done helping out at the farm,
we thought we would stop by the school and see Aunt Judy.


Thank you Aunt Judy!
We'll just help ourselves to this tasty snack.

We still had a couple more stops to make.
We stopped by Uncle Gary and Aunt Corrine's house next.
Cousin Sam was there, and he showed us his bike and sandbox.


I do what with my feet?


This is a big tire Sam!

We left one Uncle Gary's house and went to another Uncle Gary's house.
Unfortunately Mom and Dad forgot to take our picture with him.
So we drove back to Grandma and Grandpa's house
and spent the rest of our spring break doing this.



It was awesome!

Ryal made a funny.

This is the mother here, with a funny story.

Among the many things we "work" on in this household, potty training and learning authors names are high on our list.
So tonight while in the bathtub, the conversation went something like this.....

Owen: "I have to go poop."
Ryal: "By Dr. Suess"

I love my kids!
