In April the Tempels.....

April began with a trip to Chicago to meet our new nephew and cousin, Kenneth and to celebrate Easter.  Along the way we stopped to see our friends Jenn and Andy and their new baby, Adelaide.
Hi Adelaide!!!!!
Gwen found her favorite kid sized animals as soon as we arrive

The guys spent some time getting to know each other
Hello Handsome!  Such a sweet little baby!
While Kenneth was inside spending quality time with  his mommy, we headed outside to play and check out all of Lilly's toys :-)  Wyatt thought her tricycle was awesome!
The girls thought the bubble blower was pretty sweet!
After dinner one night, Gammy took us to one of her new favorite stores...Charming Charlie's.  Gwen felt right at home and tried on almost every hat in the store!  I wish we had a store here at home just so I could check out all the was in there!
Happy Easter
Wyatt just couldn't help himself...he just kept making the funniest faces!
Gwen couldn't believe that the Easter Bunny actually found her in Chicago
Wyatt even got into the hunt
While in the Windy City we headed to one of our favorite spots...the Shedd Aquarium!  Loved the Jellies!
Once bad home, the Easter Bunny made a surprise visit at Gram's!  WOW, he's busy!
The wind was so strong that day that Wyatt could barely get to his basket!
"I'm heading out!  See you in a bit!"
Goat, goats, and more goats!  Gwen's goats are having baby goats and they are so cute!
As promised, once we moved (and returned home from a long weekend) Gwen got a new pet.  She was still upset about not having any pets at home and no one to care for, so off the the pet store we went to get her a fish
Say hi to Gilly
The winds have been nuts here and great for kite flying.  Gwen loves trying to control Daddy's old kite
That smile says it all!
Movies to share...
Dance for us Wyatt!

Brad's bees have arrived

Slow down Gwen!  Wyatt loves every minute of this even if Gwen is moving way too fast!

Where, oh where, have the Tempels gone?????

We have had one of the craziest springs ever!  So much has happened, and blogging has been put on the back burner.  We really need to recap and catch up!  Let's start with March...
Gwen had her very first sleepover! 
Gwen and Wyatt are buddies
It was cold at first, but then it got warm!  Where did we go?  OUTSIDE!!!!!!!!
Wyatt decided it was time to mow the grass :-)
Gwen went straight for the sand box
For the moment, they were in one place...
Wyatt needed to try out the back escape route
March 17th--All the family came over for a great birthday party to celebrate the March birthdays.  Birthday boys and girls included: Daddy, Poppy, Gwen, Ashley Beth, Wyatt, and Bubba!  Happy Birthday to all! 
Party Decor
Egg free chocolate Monkey cupcakes for Mr. Wyatt and Rainbow cupcakes for Miss Gwen.  All made with love by Mommy:-) (with some help from Bubba and Gammy)
Gammy enjoyed seeing her little buddies
Check out this birthday get-up!!!!!  I think the boots just make it perfect!
Gwen insisted on a piñata for the party....but this was the piñata that would not break!  It took Gwen, Grace, Danny, and Mommy (plus some tearing on my part) to make this game a success!
After a long day of playing...
Wyatt loves his tricycle!
Our house sold!!!!!!  So, we got to move over Spring Break
My moving helper for the morning :-)  I think the highlight of the move was riding 4 blocks from our old house to the White House.  We are renting the first floor of one of our rental properties while we build a house this summer
Gwen and Ayden had a great time over spring break at the Louisville Zoo
Wyatt had a blast too!
Gwen loved riding on a turtle that never moved
Wyatt knows just what things with wheels says and he does it all the time!

Stay tuned for April...
