The Poulsen Family: June 2011

Easter Egg Hunt

We invited the Phillips to join us for dinner and an egg hunt. The kids had fun together and its perfect since both sets are the same ages!!!

You want us to do what?

Running around like a mad man.... this was his first hunt

Got it

There's something in the pretty flowers!!!

Look Mom... I found one. Now what do I do with it?

Easter Family Pics '11

Looks like Niels is trying to balance the bird house on his head.... lol!!!

Our Princess

This is one of those tender moment pictures... my favorite of the two of them together

As soon as this picture was shot he dropped the bucket then looked at the bunny like he did it... it was hilarious!

This is what Niels gets to come home to when he works nights. Lexi enjoys sleeping with mama when daddy is at work and she takes up the whole bed. I figure this will be one of those baby pictures you bring out to embarrass your kids!

Ian's 2nd Bday

The Elders were able to join the party... even brought "Ian" a twilight game... lol!!!

Alexis and Syria were amazed by each other, it was super cute

So spoiled!!!

So instead of doing a cake this year, I decided to make cupcakes... they were so good... vanilla with peanut butter frosting and chocolate circus molds on top.

Playing Catch Up

So I've been really bad and haven't updated our blog in forever but I've just come to the realization how important it is to have everything documented on here since we just recently lost a lot of our pictures including Ian's first bday party pics and thankfully they were on here so I can make copies for his scrapbook that I'm also trying to catch up on. It's funny how fast life flies by when you're not paying close attention.
