The aquarium is the best part of the zoo. It was our second trip to this zoo and we still didn't get to see everything.
We went to the petting zoo but Addison wouldn't go near any of the animals. She stuck to daddy like glue.
I think there are around 200 kids in the 7th and 8th grade band. We went to Lucas's band concert last Thursday night. Both sets of grandparents were able to come. Lucas plays the trumpet!
This is Addison with her friend Gracie. I have been watching Gracie and her baby sister since this fall. Addison just loves it when Gracie comes over to play!
This is Addison with her other friend Gracie. I watch her and her sister Brenna occasionally as well. She always gets excited when friends come to play.
I saw a flash of light coming from Addison's room. She was in her room with daddies camera taking her own pictures. When I asked her what she was doing she said, mommy I'm taking pictures!
Lucas was trying to get Chase to smile. We got to see Chase and Aunt Janell one more time before they went back to England.
We got in a couple games while Aunt Janell was here. She is always up for playing games. 
Addison didn't want to go in.
Brayden came in after 5 minutes of rolling around in the snow. Our kids had never seen this much snow. I think if I remember right we got around 18 inches.
Big brother Lucas pulled Addison around on the sled since the snow was to tall for her to walk around in.
Look at the snow drift compared to Addison.
Brayden was wishing he had a real snowsuit but mom tried to tell him coveralls are much warmer. He was just glad to be going out in the snow. 
I really loved the dress I got for Addison this Easter. It is my first purchase from Gymboree.
Addison loves her daddy!
It was hard to get Lucas to take a picture with his mom.
Not sure why all our Easter morning pictures have red eyes.
Brayden was very excited about what he got for Easter!
Our family dog Copper died just a month ago. He had been part of our family for 10 years. We got Copper when he was 6 months olds and our oldest Lucas was just 3 years old. He was deathly afraid of dogs so we decided to get one of our own to cure that. Copper was a wonderful pet and is so very missed. Each of our kids loved him very much as well as Scott and I. We said our goodbyes and shed many tears. We are very glad he does not have to suffer anymore.
