For your viewing enjoyment, this girl seriously cracks me up. Or to quote Hayden, "Riley sometimes you make me laugh SO hard"...enjoy

Hayden vs. The Sheep

At the festival Hayden thought it would be fun to try out the Muttin' Bustin' event. He moved into the leader position but was quickly over taken by a girl, we think she smiled extra big at the judges for an additional point or two. But Hayden had fun trying and got a trophy for his effort and said he would be in the next go round even though he had dirt in his teeth...enjoy

Trophy for his efforts...

Strawberry Festival

This Sunday we spent the day at the Strawberry Festival and had a blast. Hayden won two fish, rode tons of rides, got some cool glasses and tried his luck at riding a sheep (see above). Meanwhile Riley enjoyed the view from the stroller or grandma or grandpa's arms whichever happened to be free at the moment...

WooHoo

Easter

Well - it has been a while since Easter but I never got around to posting - It was a rainy morning but the Easter Bunny managed to hide all the eggs inside. Hayden was very relieved to see that the Easter Bunny had gotten into the house. He had even reminded us to turn off the alarm so EB wouldn't have 'any problems' getting in :)

Here is Ms. Riley hunting eggs in the house


Hayden got WAY excited when he would find the eggs

Just to cute for words sometimes...

Meeting Wyatt

Wyatt Aaron Hoffart joined the world on Thursday, April 9th at 6:40 am weighing in at 7lbs 3.5 oz and 20" long. We are so excited for Emily and Jacob - he is such a sweet baby.

Moments after he was born

We actually went up to the hospital on Wednesday night hoping we might get to meet him but he had a mind of his own so we got to meet him Saturday. Hayden LOVED getting to hold him. We were there for about an hour and Mark and I only got to hold him for a few minutes each - Hayden had him the rest of the time. I am sure he was thinking about all the fun boy things he can teach him.

Such a sweet picture

Another fun tradition - egg dying

Every year we have a big time dying Easter Eggs and this year was no different. It was really fun because both kiddos got in on all the fun :) Mom bought a fun paint kit for the kiddos to use and they put it to good use. Hayden really liked the idea of 'painting' his eggs and Riley really liked the idea of making a BIG mess!! But when they were all done the eggs came out super cute.

A serious MESS!!!


Ok, back to painting eggs


Much better...


I guess she thought it was more fun to paint her fingers!!!


Beautiful works of art if you ask me

Easter Parties

Today both the kiddos had their Easter Egg hunts at school.

Hayden was up first and I think this was one of the most chaotic egg hunts I have ever been to. Right before they "released" the kids they started chanting "We want eggs, We want eggs!" It was comical. Hayden was so funny he ran all over the field but kept counting to make sure he didn't go past his 12 - such a serious egg hunter.

All ready for the hunt...

It's like a "Where's Hayden" picutre -

Then it was onto Riley's parade and hunt later in the day. She was not to sure about the parade or the egg hunt but after Hayden showed her what egg hunting was all about she quickly got in on the action.

Looking pretty for the parade

Very excited about seeing what is inside all the eggs :)
