McAlister Matters

It was a rainy Easter today but still nice. We gave the kids Easter baskets on Saturday morning. The kids had matching outfits today from my Grandpa Bob and Grandma Ingrid. So Cute! Kahlan has been having fun playing soccer with her team the Barracudas. She's very enthusiastic and has tons of energy on the field. It's been fun watching her games. The girls and Paul are loving the warmer Spring weather and go outside whenever they can. They have fun riding their bikes, trikes and scooters.  Click for pics

It's hard to believe Paul turned 1 today! He's such a happy and playful little guy and so funny.  Paul just started crawling (forward) about a month ago and since then he's been on the go constantly. His favorite thing to do is help load the dishwasher. As soon has he hears us start dishes he scurries over on all fours and starts taking out the silverware. It makes him so pleased. Paul's super easy going and sleeps like an angel. If he is woken in the night he just lays in his crib and talks to himself. He's been practicing standing up on everything and his new trick is balancing with no hands.  Paul is funny about eating. He will eat just about any food we put in his mouth but won't put any food in his mouth himself, even if we try to help him. He picks up the food on his tray, looks at it, then drops it on the floor. He also likes to make funny faces at us when we feed him, just to make us laugh. He loves playing with cars. He lies on his

This week was Kahlan's kindergarten spring break. We had booked a room at the Expedition Lodge in Moab at the beginning of the year. We stayed there 2 nights. The kids slept in a bunk bed so that was exciting. We spent 2 days in Arches National Park and hiked to 10 different arches.  The kids all did great hiking. Even when we got rained on for a few minutes! The weather was fantastic most of the time.    Our trip ran a little short because we accidentally only booked the hotel for 2 nights instead of 3. It was actually nice to come home a little early because we were all pooped! More Pics

The annual egg hunt at Grandma and Grandpa Musser's house took place last Saturday. It was still a little cold outside so the eggs got hidden in the living room. The kids had fun coloring eggs and we had some hot dogs afterwards. More Pics
