Care nothing for clean faces?

What do you do when the weather gets warm?
Run about in dress ups?
Care nothing for clean faces?
Or simply, just kick it?

Playing the piano/Chuck-e-Cheese/Dirt/and more Easter-egg Hunts
So, here's to a lot that's been going on with the Lombardo's.
I rarely let the kids play the piano, but I was having a nice day. :o) They loved it and hopefully they'll love it even more when they take lessons.
I took the kids to Chuck-e-Cheese this week, with my sister Nikki and her girls. Wow! What a blast they had. And it was fun for the moms too.
Grace throws the ball like she's pitching it. Hilarious and a little dangerous!
Hannah had it figured out that she'd get some points if she'd roll it.
The kids were so excited when the actual Chuck came out to greet the children. They wouldn't leave him alone.
On our way home from Chuck-e-Cheese, we came home to this...
...and this. DIRT!!!!
We are finally putting in our back yard! I'm am OVERCOME with joy!!!
Last, but not least, we had another Easter-egg hunt. We weren't able to get together over Easter with my family, so we had our shin-dig today. It was so fun! Now, do you remember those eggs I was talking about, that my dad is the KING of? Take a look....
His are not the ones with the jewels. Those would be my Aunt Shauna's. Must run in the family, because those are pretty cool too. My dad has matered this art somehow. It takes a lot of patience and time to create his beauties. So fun!
When we got to my parents house, the kids were ready to find the eggs. My parents split their backyard up by age groups, to make the hunt more fare. At my dad's "go" the kids rush out the door and off they go.
I rarely take pictures of me with the kids (obviously), so this is for the sake that they will have atleast one or two pictures of me with them when they were little.
Once everyone had found their eggs and goodies, we sat down to our traditional egg-ala-golden rod breakfast. Yum! Fortunately, noone who has married into the family and no grandchildren protest this meal. We all LOVE it!
I have to put a little something in here about these two. Abigail and Susan have a special bond. Actually, they adore eachother. Honestly, Suz is a second mom to this little gal. We hope it'll always be that way.
The kids ran around crazy, played with their cousins, jumped on the trampoline, and made fun easter candy necklaces. (Thank you Aunt Robin). It was such a fun day.
Nathan was more interested in the candy itself, than making a necklace. No surprise!
These two love eachother.
We ended with a group picture, which is never without atleast one protest. We missed Carlee and her family, who live in Pittsburgh. And Liz and Ron, who actually were visiting, but were at a wedding. We atleast had their kids with us. I must say, it is crazy when we are all together, but we love eachother and I even love the craziness. :o)

Easter 2010
I love Easter! Always have....always will. My dad is the KING at dying easter eggs. Noone has ever topped his skill. I have such fun memories of dying eggs as a child. This year, Aaron and I colored the eggs without the kids. I know, a little selfish you may think, but A LOT more fun! :o) Once the eggs were dyed, we hid all the candy/eggs and put some things out for the kiddos. So fun!
I have to say this was such a great Easter. Staying home and watching Conference was so wonderful. I love how conference motivates change. I loved all the talks about the Savior. It was so special that Easter just happened to land on General Conference. I was moved greatly this year by what was shared. I'm inspired to be a better wife, mother, friend, and neighbor. I'm so grateful for my Savior. I know He lives! I know that we too shall live again when we die, because of His atoning sacrifice. I'm pretty sure it's because of what Easter symbolizes that I love this holiday so much!

Park City Get-a-Way
I think the last time Aaron and I took a trip just to get away from it all, was 4 years ago. We've done some business trips together, but there was deffinately more business than pleasure! :o) Thanks to my mom and sister Susan, Aaron and I took off for a couple of days up to Park City. So, if you live in Utah and haven't spent some time, like atleast a full day, in Park City, you have no idea what you are missing! The scenery alone is worth driving up for. It's BEAU-tiful! We stayed in a beautiful condo with amazing views of Park City. It was a literally a walk to the ski lift as well. We slept in every day, shopped at the outlets, saw a movie, and of course we skiied our little hearts out. I must say that Aaron is a very good skiier. I've improved over the years, but I'm nowhere near as daring as he is. It was an absolutely gorgeous day to ski!
I love my Aaron. He is so much fun to be with. My only request for this getaway was to laugh a lot. Since Aaron's pretty darn funny, I did do a lot of laughing. I feel like we're at a time in our marriage that can be very chaotic. We both work so hard at what we are doing; me with the kids and him working VERY hard with work. I chuckle sometimes to think that it'll slow down someday, but I know deep down it will never really slow down again. Ok, maybe when the children are grown, but then again my parents are super busy still. I'm just so grateful to be married to Aaron. He understands so perfectly his role as a husband and father and does a tremendous job balancing all the demands that come his way. He is a little OCD when it comes to organization, so that deffinately helps. :o) Thankfully, little breaks away from children/work remind us just how much fun the two of us have together and now we both feel recharged to face our responsibilities again.
Right after our morning run.
The condo just behind me.

Eat your heart out all you ski bums that weren't on the mountain this day!

What We've Been Up To
Nathan's been finding new places to nap.
Hannah's been dressing herself (actually for sometime now) and I've decided not to make a big deal out of what she chooses. This is a favorite of hers: Halloween shirt, horse tights, and red squeeky shoes. 
Abby's been sitting inside stools.And finally walking!
