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)

Lilly meets Lilly

Even though Lilly figured out how to use her hands months ago, in this video she acts like she doesn't quite know how they work. :o)

Happy babies

C'mon Mom...are ya serious?

This is the face I got when I asked Austin who was the better looking twin.

I think this look says, "Mom, do you even have to ask? Seriously!"

Tired kids

After a fun night with Cousin Brian, it didn't take long for the kids to fall asleep.

Spring is here!

Lilly and Austin enjoyed some play time outside with Grandma Jan this weekend. Thank goodness spring is finally here!

Ready to crawl

As you can see, Austin is almost there. He's so close to crawling. He's getting up on all fours now but doesn't have the hang of it just yet. Just because he's not crawling doesn't mean he isn't ALL OVER THE PLACE! He rolls where he wants to go...and is into everything. :o) He just learned how to go from laying down to sitting up this week. He's already a pro at it!

Lilly, on the other hand, isn't too interested in crawling yet. I think she's figured out that she can just wait until Austin gets it down pat; then she'll just learn from him.
