Roger, Roger!

One Sunday morning the girls were out back playing. Allie came in and said she needed food for a bird.  We were like don't take real food out to a fake pet.  She said it wasn't fake, that a bird was eating out of her hands.  We were like, Allie, we've talked about lying.  She insisted she wasn't lying.  We had to see for ourselves.  Allie doesn't have the best track record for telling the truth.  Sure enough, a bird, a MAGPIE of all the crazy birds there are, was in our backyard, eating out of the girl's hands!  We named him Roger. He was around for that day and the next morning I think he followed the girls to school.  Allie said that her teacher was trying to feed him at school. Hasn't been back since..... I wonder what she fed him?! ;)

Shrek Jr. The musical....I hate musicals!

Ellyse spent a lot of early mornings practicing for choir and this play this year.  She did great!  

I'm definitely not a musical type person, neither is Jason.  But our kid was in it so...  ;)

I will say Lord Farquad stole the show!!  Darling!

 Ellyse was in the chorus and had one little part and I didn't know when it was so this was after it was over.  

 The Fiona was pretty darn good for an elementary kid!  She worked her butt off for this role!

The rest are videos.  Enjoy the off keyness.

Easter 2015

Happy Easter! Remember how this holiday is about Jesus' ressurection?  Yeh, you wouldn't think that by looking at these photos.  ;)  Here they are doing the neighborhood Easter egg hunt with their cousins.  - We really do explain the true meaning of this holiday to them.  Candy and egg hunts right?!

LIVE BUNNIES?!

The fragrance is the air from all these beautiful things is one of my most favorite things!

Tiff has these giant eggs in her yard.  Cute!!

The Easter Bunny made an appearance after all.

The Wood's gave the girls some darling new dresses and some toys.

We celebrated Easter a week early at my parent's home this year.  They each got a basket full of the most important things in the world..... candy and toys and more candy!  Seriously though, we do teach them about the Resurrection.  

WAX LIPS!? Brings back so many memories!!

All videos from here on out.  The first one I tried my hand at Imovie.  Pretty fun! We had Jax this year for Easter.

Gold Dig!

This video should just about sum up what this gold dig is all about.  If not, check out the archives.  C'mon people, if you've been with me for a while now, I blog about the same exact things every year.

On a seperate note, I did find out this year that we Egan's are not nearly as Irish as we thought we were!  Aunt Marilyn L. did a DNA test and Irish is like number 8 on the list.  Norwegian was more potent in our blood.  Oh well, here's to being 1/200th Irish!
