Baby "Sprinkle"

I am so blessed, the Lindstedt ladies (with the help of some others) decided to throw a "sprinkle" for baby #3. I really never thought that such things should be necessary, but I have to admit that it's absolutely wonderful to have each baby celebrated. Thank you to everyone who planned and helped out and to everyone who was able to celebrate with us.We can't wait to meet her!

Mother's Day 2011

Happy Mother's Day!

This year we celebrated at the Angel game with Grama Colleen and Papa Pat! The kids had lots of fun, their Grama is so cool, she even brought a beach ball for them!

Afterwards, we got to celebrate with Grandma Karen and the rest of the Lindstedts too! What a fun day!

Happy Mother's day!

Grace's 3rd Birthday! - It's not over yet!

Don't think that we could let the family miss out on the festivities! Gracie got to have another celebration with the family!

Grama made a very special cake... She totally loved it!

 Totally awesome, right?

 Grampa entertained them while we got ready...

And it didn't take long for them to talk him into letting them swim... Then Gracie managed to convince Katie to put her toes in the freezing water.

When I told her that she'd get to see Uncle Craig and Auntie Carla, she just wanted to know about Tessie ~ and they were nice enough to bring her!

 She loves this dog...

 I love this picture, Bryce is trying to figure out what Jack is doing...

She opened lots and lots of presents... this just cracks me up, she's wearing her new shoes and she is SO excited about this Barbie house.

 This one is equally awesome, she is in love with that cake!

 Aw, Jack and Reese... Too cute!

 After the party...just trying to keep her awake.

And finished the party playing with GG Bonnie's bunnies. What a great party! Three is an awesome year for a birthday. She was so excited for everything about it, but all she asked for was to have cake and candles. I know she loved every minute of her parties ~ thank you everyone for celebrating with us!

Grace's 3rd Birthday!

What a fun day! My baby turned 3 and it was a never-ending party!

It started with a birthday breakfast...

 And a birthday car ride... on the way to her birthday party...

Gracie shares a birthday with Jack's classmate Colin and so they shared a birthday party! Hooray for the easiest party ever! Here are the birthday siblings: Ali, Grace, James, Jack and Colin...

 Who knew that the little animal figures would be such a hit?

 Is this birthday excitement or is she just happy to be eating Doritos?

 The birthday kids... Colin turned 4 and Grace turned 3...

 Cake time!

Some how I didn't take pictures of them opening presents... But they had a blast playing at the park. We ran home really quickly to clean up and then took off for dinner with Grama and Grampa. This is Grace on the way to dinner.

 And it's time for more cake!

 Thank you Grama and Grampa!

 Jack enjoyed his cookie - big time!

 And it was time for more presents!

Happy birthday baby! I hope you had an awesome 3rd birthday!

Easter Party

Then after Easter, MOMS Club had their Easter party.

Gracie really, really loved having her face painted...

 And Jack absolutely loved the end result...

 And you have to love your mom friends because they ask if you want a picture with your kiddos - and really, how often does that happen?

 Then there was one more egg hunt...

Happy Easter everyone!

Easter 2011

Okay, okay, I know mom... I'm way behind. Let's see what we can catch up. Easter was a lot of fun this 

year.

There was egg dying... 

 Thank God for a daddy that enjoys this as much as his kids!

 And the Easter bunny came...

 But that didn't mean that Grace was finished sleeping...

Once she woke up, the egg hunt was LOTS of fun!

 And "wide-eyed" eggcitement was displayed by all...

 Then Grama and Papa came over for church and a yummy breakfast!

 And then we got to see two-papa's. There was another egg hunt...

 Visits from Great-grandparents...

 And lots of time to play with the cutest cousin ever!

Happy Easter everyone!!!
