Hello again!  Well, it's been quite a while since we updated the blog and ALOT has been going on with us!  

First of all,  Marshall Owen Seidler was born on April 9th.  He weighed 8lbs, 14 oz. Krissy had a c-section and her and baby Marshall are both doing well! He is absolutely beautiful and has tons of thick blonde hair! Marissa is over the moon for him, and loves to go see him and hold him.  So far Camryn doesn't seem too interested in him yet!  Welcome to the family Marshall!  We love you sweetie! Here's a photo of little Marshall:

Next up, we had a great Easter!   Both girls were so excited for the easter bunny to come!  Marissa left him carrots  and celery and he ate everything right up!  Marissa's basket was hidden in our hall closet and she found it right away because as she says "Easter grass was leading up to the closet door!"  Camryn's basket was hidden underneath the girl's little table in the kitchen.  They both got candy, snacks and books.  Camryn also got a little teapot and cups and a bird big toy.  Marissa got "tattoo barbie" and a stuffed pony.   They both looked gorgeous in their matching easter dresses!  We went to Rich's parents house for lunch, and then stopped over my cousin's house for dinner.  We had a busy day!  Here are a few easter photos:

Marissa also had an Easter party at preschool and I was the "helper mom" for the day.  It was a very cute party.  The kids had an easter egg hunt in the gym, passed out their treat bags, had a snack, played games, sang songs, made several crafts, dyed easter eggs  and had story time.  Sheesh!  Amazing they can fit that all in within three hours!  Here's a couple easter party photos:

The whole class by the bunny:

We also decorated easter eggs the day before easter.  Marissa had lots of fun coloring eggs  and Camryn was excited to try to help and to see what we were doing!  Here's the girls coloring eggs:

Yesterday Rich and I took Marissa and Dylan to see Monsters Vs. Aliens in 3-D.   Marissa and Dylan had so much fun!  After the movie, we went to Chik-fil-A and the kids ate and played in the play area. Then Rich and I took the girls to Buhl park later in the afternoon.  It was such a wonderful day outside!!  They had fun walking around, playing on the swings and seeing the water fountains and lake.  Camryn pointing to the ducks and said "Dut!"  We were cracking up!  She has been saying A TON more words lately, it's amazing.  Right now she says : mama, dada, nana, papa, mimi, hi, hi there, right there, up, more, duck, pop, hop, bib, baba, Dora, and lots more that I can't think of right now.

This week Marissa's preschool had a "mom's day celebration".  It was very cute!  The kids sang songs and we had a little mother's day tea with drinks and cookies.  The kids gave us their drawings and flowers  they had planted.  They also made us glazed plates, where they drew a picture on the plate.  It was so cute!

We also weaned Camryn off her bottle, and she did wonderful!!  She went right to sleep the very first day we tried and didn't even fuss for her bottle at all.  She hasn't had her bottle for about a week now and she's done great.  What a big girl!

Well, we'll try to post more soon!  Marissa has her "Kids Fest" at the mall coming up this saturday, where her dance class is performing.  I'll be sure to post photos of that!  Hope everyone is well and had a greast easter!

Love,
Kelly, Rich, Marissa and Camryn
