The Guddat Gang

For Easter we went to my Uncle Terry's house and had Easter brunch with most of my Mom's side of the family. Then we had a Easter egg hunt for the kids. They did a special one for the 3 little kids including our 2 which was nice. The girls each got a basketful of eggs and my Dad was in his element, helping them get candy and eggs (much like why he likes Halloween so much!) They had a great time and we got lots of yummy candy to share too. Later on we all had a good time playing Guitar Hero and band, it was so much fun!!!

The girls this year has some absolutely adorable Easter outfits thanks to Blue Grandma. So naturally we wanted to take nice pictures of them in them, well not so easy! These are the pics were able to wrestle out of them and I hope you all can appreciate that family picture.( Addy was not really into it as you can see) Anyway the girls had fun dressing up and Delaney loves feeling and being pretty! We even put her hair in braids and rollers so it would be extra pretty for Easter, she loved it!

This past weekend was the highschool rodeo in Ellensburg. Jon and I took the girls down so we could soak up some sun and check out the animals. The girls ran around and looked at animals and had a great time. Rodeos are always a good time and a great way to spend a family day together.

For about a month we been having the most annoying, strange vibrations coming from the pipe of our gas stove. We haven't used this stove in years. For a couple days we had been experiencing a similar noise in the water heater. We have been quite puzzled at what has been going because it only lasts a few moments and doesn't seem to have any negative effects. While taking the girls to the park the other the day the sound was happening and got louder as we got outside. As I looked up I saw it! A brown bird was perched on top of the chimney just pecking away! As I am typing this he just started up again. What I am wondering is if he is doing any damage and if anyone has any suggestions on how to get him to relocate!?! It is like I said annoying and I am sure not great for the metal material of the chimney. Ahh!

We have a designated door jam with the girls' heights marked on them that we updated the other day. The best part was that the girls wanted to measure Mom and Dad too. So we all took turn being measured on the wall and Delaney got to play Dr. D-Rae which she loves.

The girls had a blast coloring eggs and our kitchen is still yellow and blue in their wake! Delaney was quite a Picasso carefully dipping in each color then plucking them out to examine her prize. Then there was Adelyn. Everytime we gave her an egg she went CRACK against the counter with it before chucking it. Needless to say after like the third egg (haha) we stopped letting her participate. They both had a good time and our kitchen isn't too worse for the wear.

Jon and I entered March Madness brackets together and it certainly has been a test of the relationship:) No seriously though I had been beating Jon pretty soundly until about a few days ago when all my teams are essentially fell out of winning contention and Jon's slow and steady method caught up to me. It has been a lot of fun and complete begginner's luck on my part. Picking my brackets took all of 5 minutes, whereas Jon painstakingly worked on it for weeks. Well hopefully it pays off since there's a few bucks in the pot. You can see in the pic he was a sore loser at first especially when I was beating all his friends too!
