Guard Dog

As much as Sassy doesn't want to admit it, she loves the babies. I walked in on her while she was "guarding" Lilly as she napped.

Happy Easter!

Their first Easter was complete with baby ducks, an easter egg hunt, flying kites and of course a nap.



They really liked the baby ducks.

Lilly enjoyed petting them.

Austin just wanted to show them some love with a big kiss.

The kids had fun hunting for eggs at the annual Alyea Family Easter Egg Hunt on the farm. The family is getting so big, I heard a total of over 300 eggs were hidden this year!

They enjoyed a wagon ride to go watch everyone fly kites in the beautiful weather.

Austin kicked back and relaxed in the sun.

And of course a nap was in order after a fun filled day.

The many faces of Lilly

It's not all smiles all the time. This is usually the face we get when we tell her, "No."

This is the face when she's still not over the shock of "No."

This is the happy face again when she remembers (thinks) the world revolves around HER.

Playtime

Like Father, Like Son

Dustin's trying to get Austin into the ink business a little early in my opinion. Austin went to work with him one Saturday and came home with ink on his thumb. Dustin claims he's not sure how it got there...likely story. :o)
