More critter video

Killing time (and possibly small creatures) waiting for the festivities to begin.

There's always a hunt to be had at Grandma's.

Easter Saturday 2011

We missed our other family members, but had a wonderful time enjoying the traditional Easter Saturday celebrations with Mom and Dad and Dave and Jessica's family.
Preparing to be the first out the door.
Ready for the hunt.
Done already. Who needs to keep hunting when you've got stuff to eat?
To the hunters belong the spoils.





The happy hiders basking in the fun they've created.

Sibling Love

I doubt that this is the picture Bob had in mind when he commented on Anne's blog, but it came to mind. It's sibling love at "The Happiest Place on Earth."

Dad During the Dental School Days

I came across this great picture at Mom and Dad's back in December. If I remember correctly, Keith Stutznegger gave this to them recently. The other guy in the picture is Jake Hill (thanks, Mom!). The only thing I remember about him is that all of his children have J names. I'm glad Dad found a little time for fishing with his friends. Dental school pictures always remind me of Bob. Bob's blog gives some insights into the fun that can still be had today amidst the trials and challenges of graduate school.

Who does that smile remind you of?

The New Year's Eve Tradition Lives on...

(After 2 days of trying to download the other 2 videos, I'm giving up. Sorry. Dave, I'll make a copy for you of all the videos and pictures--sorry I could never get the video of Bella and Kobie to download. Frustrating! Enjoy the stills and the other videos. Nathan is grateful that you won't be seeing the video of him inexplicably stepping up to the pinata just as Rachel is swinging. Thankfully, she swung wide and missed him.)

















Like stealing candy from a baby ...

SWEET Family Photo

Steve: "This picture proves that you can grow up to be good looking, no matter how you looked as a kid."

I pulled this gem out to comfort Rachel about her gap. She remained un-comforted. She's dying for her 12 year-old molars to erupt so that she can get braces and close the gap between her two front teeth. She feels like it makes her "look like a little kid."

How did Rich end up looking so much bigger than Doug in this photo?

If I recall correctly, this picture also documents Dave's first foray into the haircutting business. If my memory further serves me correctly--even though "Bobby" is not exactly smiling, it was considered a great success because Anne was not scowling.

Don't Mom and Dad look so cute in this picture?! I love their smiles.
