Back to Easter

Easter was forever ago, I know, but with the move and all blogging was put on the back burner, but I had to blog about Easter.
We went to Oregon to see my side of the family. We stayed with my sister and her wonderful family. We used to live there too and every time we visit we are reminded of just how much we miss being close to them.
It was a fun, crazy trip! I only say crazy, because Myles learned how to climb out of his play pen the first night and we had to wrestle him (literally) into a bed.
My parents had a fun Easter egg hunt with the kids and so did my sister's neighbors.
Here are some pics of the fun times!!




My good friend Andrea, who's a photographer, came to visit and surprised me by taking pics of the kids. These are just two of my faves, but all of them came out so beautiful! Thanks Andrea!!



She really captured their personalities.

Miss Wynni Boo turned 6 months while we were there. Goes way too fast!



Myles got his first and hopefully last black eye . While we were wrestling him into bed he headbutted the windowsill. Poor guy!









Myles and Kurt



Myles is always talking about Kurt and going to Kurt's house. Then when we got there he was super shy, which I think weirded Kurt out a little bit. This was as close together as we could get them for a picture.

We brought our band hero stuff and got a little into it with my sister's kids. They were so much fun!

All Tangled up!!

The New Rapunzel Do!

So Short!!!

Flynn Rider and "Eujane"
Baby Punz



So I know I have about a million posts that should come before this post, but I just wanted to post this real quick.

These last couple weeks we've been sick with terrible colds. So I asked my sister-in-law if we could borrow the movie Tangled. We all just LOVE that movie so it was nice to watch it over and over again while blowing our noses! :)

Myles loves to "play" Tangled. He is Flynn Rider, Daddy is Eujane (Eugene Fitzherbert), Mommy is Rapunzel or Tangled, and Wynni is Pascal (Rapunzel's camillion) or sometimes she gets to be baby Rapunzel (Baby Punz). It's so fun, because Myles will run around asking me where is "satchel" is. His Auntie Tess made him a little bag that is now his "satchel." It's darn cute hearing him say "satchel."

Anyway, I also cut my hair. Like really cut my hair. First time in my life I've cut it this short. I was hoping it would turn out like Reese Witherspoon's hair in Sweet Home Alabama, but Kenny and I both agreed that it looks more like Rapunzel's at the end of Tangled. I'm still getting used to it and I'm not sure I will ever do it this short again, but it was brave and kinda fun.
