The Easter bunny hops into town


Molson hopped into Brighton and Berklie's room for a very special Easter surprise!





Miss Amy's annual Easter egg hunt! Look closely at the bunny...who could it be? Thank you, Stafford for being such a good sport!

Stanton walks on the hunt...who walks when it comes time to hunt chocolate...and $$$?!
MacKenzie was such a big help with Emerson!

Uncle Chris has the candy...I know he does!


Aunt Jennifer helps the twins get ready for dinner.

Papa and his new princess...Stanton told Berklie just the other day, "you KNOW, I was the princess before you came along!"
Easter with (some of,the many)cousins. We missed Justin and Cody!
Berklie figures out that not only did someone make a "MESS" all of the place with eggs, but she better hurry up and eat the contents of the "eggs" before the dogs do!

Which came first? The bunny, or the egg? Sleeping bunny!



We had a beautiful Easter weekend filled with many activities. However, the kids and I missed the burial of Helen's cremains in Hilton Head. Bo went on Friday, and drove home Saturday afternoon. Stafford had a baseball tournament for travel ball, and we had just missed a tournament to go to Steamboat. We were so sad to miss such a special occasion. Bo said it was very beautiful! The twins were so full of wonder and life with all of the eggs, or "mess" as they called it, everywhere! They quickly learned that sometimes a "mess" can be a great thing! We went to Mass, and then to Miss Amy and Garrett's annual Easter egg party and hunt. Thank you, Amy, for such a fabulous time, as always! Then we went to Mom and Papa's for Easter dinner. It was delicious and so much fun!! Mimi and Grandpa, Aunt Jennifer,and all of the Kennedy cousins were there too. Emerson's first Easter was a special one from start to finish!!

Our Little Leprechauns

Chardonnay LOVES the babies...and yes, it looks like we have another rider! Emerson thinks Chardonnay is funny!
Berklie gave "her pony" a kiss for the ride!


Emerson is not too thrilled with her Saint Patty's Day attire!
Green milk...does a body good!

This is one of the only pictures we got with Brighton. He stayed on about 35 seconds, and declared he was "all DONE!" There was dirt to play in, and rocks to throw! Stanton and her girl! Two Irish gals!
Happy Saint Patrick's Day from all of our little leprechauns to yours!! Chardonnay was thrilled to participate in the festivities!

Steamboat's Champagne Powder




































I know there are a lot of pictures, but they are just too beautiful not to share! We can hardly wait to teach Brighton and Berklie how to ski next year. There was so much snow, Stanton and Stafford lost Bo a few times...in the powder, going down trails. Or, was it that the powder got Bo?! Bo even let me ski one afternoon while he watched the babies. What a guy, but he didn't "offer" again the next day. I think it was the shuttle ride, with three babies, going back to the condo. What a wonderful vacation!

Steamboat Babies and Snowball fights!

March 03rd-08th, 2008




The ice made Brighton nuts!! He would fall and say.."What happened? I'm STUCK!"


Have you ever tried to take a picture with 5 kids? Three, ages 2 and under?!

Stanton and Berklie make a plan to beat Stafford and Brighton in a snowball fight!
Brighton will not ever be in the latest issue of GQ...maybe Sports Illustrated?!





"STUCK again!!"
Ready for combat!!




Emerson was literally asleep on a snow bank...the beauty of child # 5!!
Berklie was worried her "baby was cold!"
Stafford, being the gentleman he is, allows the girls to attack and goes down without a fight!

Where is Brighton NOW?!





Here he is...showing Berklie how "MMMYYY the snowwww is"


Berklie really enjoyed her cold treat after the big snowball fight!!





PEACE!!!




Emerson woke up to see what all the commotion was about!


Berklie dressed herself to go "OUT-TIDE in DA SNOW!"



Brighton decided that getting dressed for the snow was not a bad idea...he got ready too! The only thing he was missing was his "BALL"...he had a complete melt down when they came inside and started bawling that he "needed his ball!" It was the funniest thing ever!! The more I laughed, the harder he cried! Poor guy!


Why am I dressed like the Easter bunny in the snow?


One of the highlights of our trip was our tubing adventure at Saddleback Ranch. It was a BLAST!!





Where did my ball go?!



The boys!! Snow is not as sweet as this...




Let it snow!!!


Peek-A-Boo...guess who??!!
