Photos of the Grandkids

While in Pittsburgh over Easter, my sister Julie and I decided to have our kids photos taken together. We did it the year before and the pictures turned out so cute!

Easter and my week in Pittsburgh

We went home for Easter on April 22nd and I stayed with Jackson and Tenley until May 2nd. We stayed at my in-laws for the weekend and then for the week at my parents. On Saturday 4/23, my mother-in-law and sister-in-law Laura went to get fitted for our bridesmaids dresses for our sister Julie's October 2011 wedding. I wasn't too thrilled about the idea just because I don't have my pre-pregnancy body back yet. But the good news is I have 6 months before the wedding to get in shape. Then that afternoon we went to the annual Easter Egg hunt at the Helfer's farm. That's always a fun time. On Easter Sunday we went to lunch at Grandma Schnur's and enjoyed a delicious meal! It was the first time Tenley was meeting the Schnur side of the family. Everyone loved her! After that, we headed over to my parents for another meal. I was stuffed! We always enjoy sitting around the table telling stories. During dinner, my Mom, Dad and Julie were all sitting on a bench, all of a sudden, Mom and Julie got up off the bench leaving Dad on the end and it flipped up and he fell off!! It looked like it was straight out of a movie!

Timmy is such a good Uncle!

We were only missing my sister Michelle who was working :(

During the week, I really enjoyed being able to see some friends and family. On Monday 4/25 we met up with my friend Jenn Peterson and Weston, the little boy she nanny's for. We went to a place called Jumpin' Castle and it was perfect for the little boys. My mom came along with Timmy, and Julie brought her kids too. Jackson really enjoyed running around and climbing.

We also visited with my cousin Jessie and her 3 kids -Justin, Will and Riley. It's amazing how fast they are growing up! We also visited my Roos Grandparents. 

Christy came home for the weekend because she had a Physician Assistant conference to attend for her work by the Pittsburgh Airport. When she was done she came to Mom & Dad's house. We had a fun time hanging out together as we don't get much time to do this anymore. We went to the mall with Tenley and she enjoyed holding her and taking credit for being her mom! Jackson got to take a tractor ride with Pap but didn't enjoy it too much. On Sunday 5/1 we went to the North Catholic Musical - Godspell. Katie and Rachel starred in the show and did a fantastic job. I'm glad we were able to be there to see them perform. 

My Mom was always willing to do anything to help with the kids no matter what time of day it was. It was so nice to have her help. She loved snuggling her grandkids!
