Lola has reached that point in her life where she will only wear what she wants to wear! For awhile now that short list has consisted of 2 items: her "bear pajamas" and her swimsuit. As you can imagine this has made it hard to leave the house. Fortunately, I have recently convinced her that it's ok to wear a "pretty dress". Unfortunately, in her mind very few of her dresses can be considered "pretty"!
We started Easter morning with a delicious breakfast and then got to the good stuff!
We tortured the "big kids" and made them wait while the "babies" started on the egg hunt.
The usual suspects!
Sweet little Lizzy!
Lola's favorite thing was her money egg.
Kye competed in his second Pinewwood Derby this year. Last year, I helped him build his car because Todd was so busy. Kye did pretty well. He didn't win it all but he won several of his heats. This year, Kye was excited because Todd helped him build his car. It looked pretty cool when they were done but unfortunately Kye lost every single race. Yep, last place every time! When I told my mother-in-law she said that she dreaded the Pinewood Derby every year because inevitably Todd always had the slowest car. It must be in the Welker men's blood!
Despite having such a slow car, Kye had a great attitude and didn't let it get him down!
I made all the boys "gas tanks" out of juice boxes.
This Spring has been so wet and cold. Spring Break as no exception! The kids had a full week off and Friday was the only nice and sunny day. So we headed to the Zoo. 
My friend, Jamie and her kids came with us.
Lola still loves the elephants.
Lily and Lola's favorite thing was watching the turtles and desert animals. We couldn't get them to leave!
Just take a wild guess- how old are these shoes? a year? 6 months? NO! I bought these for Kye less than 1 month ago. He does this to every pair of shoes that he owns. All I can say is he is ALL boy!
I have to say it's pretty sweet to have the regional Rossignol Ski rep in your family! My mom, Hayley and I took the kids for an amazing ski day at Sundance. 
My kids are pretty amazing little skiiers!
I went to Bon Jovi with my two "oldest" friends.OK so, no they are not old. We've just been friends for a very long time. LeeAnn and I since we were 3 and Steph and I met at age 9 and we've all stayed close ever since. Lucky, right? So when we heard Bon Jovi was coming it took us straight back to middle school and we knew we had to go back and relive our glory days!
Originally, we were going to dress totally 80's like these guys. I was even going to use perm rods to get the perfect 80's style but Todd told me that we might get beat up by all the people that still dress like that(and there were plenty of them at the concert)so anyway we chickened out but next time we're going all out!
The concert was amazing and now our "school girl crush" on Jon Bon Jovi has come back with a vengance! I think I'm going to make Todd relearn all his songs to sing to me!
