great picture for mom to share with future girlfriend (and everyone in-between)

Cutie little Drew, smiling as always!

Amelia dressed up as a princess.

Mitch as a bumble-bee.

And he insisted that the shorts be hiked up under the costume,

showing the entire length of his leg.

Just in case the toilet bucks....

The helmet was one of Mitch's requirements yesterday for using the potty. But hey, whatever works when you are potty training!

Recitial!

Amelia had her first "pre-ballet" recital a week or so ago. She did so good! Just imagine 20 three and four year olds on stage for about 3 minutes total. They did great, and looked so little to be on such a big stage!

Walking off stage and getting flowers from cousin Abby!

Greeting friend Aleksia after being on stage together.

Hanging out with Abby after the recital.

Daddy, really how much do you love us????

Daddy loves his kids enough to work really hard for several days and put together a fun
place for his kids to play! And lets just say, I think we finally found a way to wear Mitchy out!

And how they have played, and climbed, and ran, and slid, and played some more!

Mitch stoping to pose for the camera....



Amelia showing Mitch the slide!

And Mom even made them stop to pose with Drew for a photo shoot, which didn't last long, but at least we got all three of them at the same time!

Where did April go???

Well April flew by in a flurry...so what has been happening with the Haechrels?

First Mom and Drew took a much needed "get-away" weekend to see Tammy and family in Bozeman. Totally pampered by Tammy and Seth, with only Drew to take care of and my 2 darling nephews to spoil.

While Drew and Mommy were away, Amelia, Mitch and Daddy, did some playing of there own.

Specifically, they took a fun visit to a local firehouse, to visit our fireman friend Joe. They even got a short ride in a firetruck!

Came home and less than a week later we were blessed with our newest nephew, Titus Aaron Johnson! And even more fun, Tammy, Yammie and I got to meet Titus at about 3 am on Saturday morning, just shortly after he arrived into the world.

Yammie and Baby Titus at 3 am!

After having a fun week of Tammy and the boys being here to help Sarah and family with baby Titus we all are finally recovered and ready for May and summer!

But was it ever fun to have 8 of the 9 "Mitchell" cousins to play with. With lots of sleep overs, the running, wrestling and screaming, pancakes, corndogs and all the of crazy moments in-between we had so much fun making memories with cousins!

A slow start to one sleep over morning! From left to right, Mitch, Hallie, Amelia, Abby and Isaac!

Hey Momma, what's goin' on?

Since Drew isn't moving yet, it allows his big brother (and sister) much freedom to pick on him a little bit. But, I have to say, when I saw that Mitch had put Amelia's sunglasses on Drew, and upside down no less, I couldn't help but laugh out loud!

And the dimples shot

And we must show off the primary instigator (Mitch) and the secondary instigator (Amelia).

Just hanging out on a Sunday afternoon....

After naps, the kids all settled into Amelia's bed to play a little bit. Chris and I think they are just pretty cute! And check out how big Drew is already, compaired to the other two, and he is the smallest of the three of them at this age!
