Soooo ready for summer around here.
We thought that our 5 year old was finally old enough to take part in his first team sport. Rohne has been in T-Ball this year, and has been loving it, for the most part. 
Jake, and his friends, Tila, and Jon are the coaches. We were moving on Picture Day, so Jake missed the Team Picture. It has been so nice to have 3 coaches, and, most of the time, they are absolutely necessary. Jake has learned this year, that he won't be coaching again for awhile. He is so busy keeping all the kids in line, that he has been unable to enjoy being with his son, and teaching him. It is so funny to hear all the boys calling him "Coach Jake." They all really like him.
Rohne confided in me that he mainly plays T-Ball because he gets a cool snack after the game. And, he can't wait until he gets his medal. He asks about it every time.
Yes, his mitt is giant. And, he's wearing Nike cleats, that he won't be able to wear next year. Daddy got a little carried away at the Sporting Goods store. . .
And, here is our honorary part of the team. Now, Tristan really really goes to the games to play. And, he gets very mad when I won't let him. He is constantly in and out of the dugout, and if I'm not quick enough, he slips through my fingers and runs onto the field. He thinks he's just as big as all those boys, and he wants to show it. So, I never get to watch the game either. I just chase the monster.
Yet, who can resist that face? 
Happy Easter from the Klein kids. This is the best we got. You'll notice that my almost 2 year old is acting very much his age lately. He is a terrible terror. In all the words. Really. 
I let the older kids dye the eggs while my wonderful almost 2 year old took a nap. Oh, so peaceful. . . I have a feeling they enjoyed it much better w/out him.
Our gracious family invited us to their community Easter egg hunt again this year, and it was a lot of fun, as usual. The weather was beautiful, which was highly unusual. I didn't get many pictures of this event because of chasing around said almost 2 year old.
Here's all the cousins with their loot.
The Easter Bunny did visit our house on Sunday morning, and the children were thrilled.
After church, we headed over to the Grandparent's house for dinner, and another Easter egg Hunt. Monique and I inadvertently chose matching shirts for Parker and Trist this year. We both have such great taste, ya know. 
Pretty girls.
Tristan had found out earlier in the day that the plastic eggs contained candy. He was content with just one egg at a time. He would pick one up, eat the candy inside, and then move on.
Each child received one golden egg with a whole dollar inside. Such excitement!
Although Easter was a little crazy this year with all the packing, and moving going on, I tried to take time out and make it special for the kids. Before we know it, Easter won't be nearly as fun for them as it is now. Always changing and growing!! 
Apparently Taylee needs to pose with one hand behind her head now. Not sure where she got it. I blame Barbie movies. . . She is full of spunk, her new nickname is "Sassafrass" for her sassy attitude. But, she loves to show off, and perform. And, I am so thankful for this quality in her.
After years and years and years of begging, from both Jake and kids, I finally relented, and we got a pet. As of yesterday, we are officially a pet family. Growing up with animals of all kinds, I liked them, but, I knew how much work they were, and what a pain they could be. So, I never really wanted one for myself. We have been having a few difficulties with our little princess lately, and Jake and I thought that a new kitten might be a good distraction for her. We found her off of Craigslist. 6 weeks old, cute as a button, very tame, and loves people. The kids are constantly holding her, and following her around everywhere. Let's hope I don't regret this decision in a week!
She was a little scared the first day, and last night, but, today she has settled right in. Even went potty in the litterbox, and she is eating like a champ.
So, I've been in a rut. Blogging rut. Life rut. All around rut. Any ideas on how to pull me out are greatly appreciated. Here's a little update on our family. We really haven't been up to much. Just kid stuff, school, work, etc. Soo ready for Spring!!! But, I've taken a few pictures I thought I could share!
Just pure, awesome sweetness. These boys love each other.
Jake turned 34. We had a partay. Then, a couple days later, we celebrated with good friends by going out to dinner, and a hockey game. It was our Valentine's Day celebration as well. Happy Birthday, Babe! Every year you get better!
A little friendly arm wrestling. After Jake sufficiently whipped his brother, his dad wanted to take a whirl. Jake is still the toughest Klein man. Way to go honey!
The girlies all dressed up, and watching Jake open gifts.
We played some Rock Band, and had German Chocolate cake. Not good for my diet. . .
Rohne cracks me up on a daily basis. He is such a sweet, curious, adventurous, thoughtful kid. I'm so thankful for him in our home.
We have had some "fair" weather lately. it's nice to be able to have my babysitter back. By this, I mean the backyard. The kids are usually completely covered in much by the time they come back in, but, they are worn out, and happy. Tristan loves loves loves it outside. He brings me his shoes first thing in the morning, and points to the backyard. 
Jake travelled to Denver for 3 days a couple weeks ago. While he was gone, the school hosted a Daddy Daughter dance. Tay had been planning to go with her dad, but, he was out of town. So, she went with Jer, and Samantha instead. They had a great time. Thanks a lot Jer!
And, last but certainly not least, Rohnie lost his first tooth!! It was hanging on by a measley thread, until he finally let Jake yank it out. He was so excited about his first visit from the Tooth Fairy! My kids are growing too fast!!
