Easter Egg Hunt

We had an egg hunt the day before Easter by my parents house. Dean, Joshua, Grandpa Cardon, Peyton, Kate, Hailey

Family Pictures

The Cardon Family decided to get a family picture since all of the siblings were in town. These are some snapshots my brother took as we were attempting the pictures. Dean was not wanting to cooperate so we were trying to bribe him. Of course he was perfectly fine after the pictures were taken. I will post the final pictures when we get them.We tried the flowers

even a sucker was not making him happy

Kisses

Dean has been more affectionate with Julia and loves giving her hugs and kisses. He also likes taking his shirt off a lot.Dean likes the open mouth kisses. We are still working on that with him.

High School Friend

A couple of weeks ago Brian's friend from high school Larry came to visit with his daughter Kennedy. They haven't seen each other for over 10 years but they still talk or text a few times a week. We had a great visit with him and his daughter. The kids had a lot of fun playing. We hope they come again!Bringing out the yearbook

Yard Work

Last Saturday Brian and the boys were doing some work in the backyard. Noah and Dean had the job of picking up all the oranges that had fallen off the tree. They just had to fill up the bucket. Dean loved it, Noah not as much. The upper right picture shows Noah's expression when he was told he was not finished yet. Dean was making the job a little harder because he kept dumping the oranges out of the bucket once it would get almost full. He did this about 4 times. It was fun watching them work together!
