Easter

We headed over to the other side of the mountains to find some snow for Easter weekend. We got so excited every time we came across it that I forgot to take pictures of the boys playing in it. It was so cute, too, because Titus would run up, grab two fistfuls of snow, and shout "NNOOO!" while throwing it out in front of him. Anyway, it was really pretty:


On Saturday we stayed with Grandma and Papa at a little house they rented in Sunriver for four days. Silas got to help carry the wood for the fire!


Then on Sunday we headed over to Redmond to see cousins! Silas loves these guys so much that the entire week beforehand any time I wanted him to behave I would just say "If you're a good boy we get to go see cousins this weekend" and he straitened right up. I suppose it would be wrong to continue to use that tactic since we probably won't see them again for several months. :(

Here's the newest cousin, Cameron:


Silas likes to be affectionate:


We joined the cousins in coloring Easter eggs. Silas was thrilled about tossing the eggs into little cups of water...


...and Titus was thrilled about eating them.


The traditional attempt at a cousin portrait. This gets harder with every kid we add. :)
