Easter and Miscellaneous Pictures

While I'm actually in the blogging mode, I thought I'd share a few recent pictures.

Our snowman, Frosty, from a few weeks ago:



Chris has always been a Dale Jr. fan, but up until this year, I have never let him wear anything Jr. because he was sponsored by Budweiser. So, now that he changed teams, Chris got he & the kids some new "JR NATION" gear.



There's nothing like have fancy new clothes for Easter. Here's a look at Mason and Makenna all decked out for Easter Service (take note of the matching purse and headband--accessories are a must for the princess):



One last picture for today...here's Makenna holding her cousin Gideon. How cute are they? If you look back in my blog archive, there's one from Christmas of the two of them too.



Well, now I'm having blog overload. Until next time...

Mason's 6th Birthday

What a full weekend we had over the 22nd-23rd! Besides Easter, we celebrated Mason's 6th birthday! Can it be that he is already 6 years old? I feel like he was just born a little while ago. Time flies when you're having fun! On his birthday (Saturday) we invited a few of Mason's school friends to a birthday party at Chuck E. Cheese. His friend Faith got the stomach flu that day, so she wasn't able to come. But we had a full vanload with Chris & I and the five kids. It was a crazy day! Those kids are WILD! Mason had a great time with his friend Nate, Braxton (whose last name is Beall -- no relation), and Alli. I was already exhausted about 10 minutes into the ride TO Chuck E. Cheese, so you can imagine how tired I was after the party!









But there is no rest for the weary. We had to gear up for another party the next night, Easter Sunday evening. We had Mason's family party at our house on the 23rd. As always, Mason got a TON of cool presents! Games, puzzles, a rocket, new cowboy boots, a magnetic dinosaur, Legos, movies...just to name some. It was a fun evening to spend time with both the Beall family and Engbrecht family.





Happy Birthday, Mason! I love you!

Our New Addition...

We welcomed Max David Beall into our home on Thursday, March 20. Nope, he's not a baby...he's a shepherd-mix puppy we adopted from the pound. Max has been quite a handful over the past few weeks, but we are starting to get the hang of this whole dog thing. He is five months old and he is very cute. He's a little stubborn, but that just means he fits into our family just fine. We had been promising to get a dog for the kids, so we decided that Mason's 6th Birthday would be a good time to take the plunge. Here's a few glimpses of Max:

Happy Easter!

Stay tuned next week for big birthday news and pictures!
