Easter 2015

We took Isaac on his first big road trip this past weekend for Easter in Kalamazoo! Even though the Rubles make the trip back and forth a lot with Ben (and Josiah when he was a baby) I was NOT looking forward to the car ride with Isaac. He is just not great in the car and the thought of being stuck in Easter/ spring break/ Final Four/ CHICAGO with an unhappy baby sounded awful! 

Thankfully we carpooled with Mom and Dad and therefore Mom and I could tag team entertaining the boys in the back. The car ride there was not bad --- the way home however, well let's just say Isaac is lucky he wasn't strapped to the roof!


Ben and Isaac were enjoying some stuffed animal time in the nest chair. 
 

Two little ETs in the closet :) 
 

These chairs were great entertainment this weekend --- loved when the babies were in them, they looked like little old men in recliners! 
 

James found some quick favorites in the Ruble toy box --- a Thomas the train hat, a small plush buzz and the Ruble family harmonica - he was actually pretty good at making some music! 



Everyone was ready for spring/Easter fun outside --- so we bundled up and made the best of it :) 
 

The Santini cousins came over for Easter dinner and an egg hunt --- that meant SEVEN little boys six and under!  So fun :) 
 

Hunting for eggs in the yard! 


Corey and Isaac watching the big kids run. 


TJ and Jojo helped make dessert - blue cupcakes filled with frosting & sprinkles and topped with green frosting and suger coated marshmallows. They looked beautiful and clearly the kids liked them too! 
 

Bunny ear antics! 
 


Practicing making the pinwheel spin! 
 

Ben was so cute going through his basket - so patient and sweet! 
 

This kid on the other hand --- was super interested in eating the Easter grass and rummaging through everyone's goodies! 
 
 

When it gets a little warmer we will have two more outfielders --- until then, they have prime seats, right behind the plate!
 

The big boys got silly string in their baskets --- love this action shot --- Buppa trying to get out of the way - Matrix style! 
 

Silly string battle! 


Everyone's looking at the camera! 
 

Family photo :) 

It was a fun weekend - so glad we got to be together and here's hoping Isaac improves in the car for the next road trip!
