Our Easter Replay

Nothing beats celebrating holidays with children. I love everything about it. The preparation, the excitement, the surprised faces. It's just pure joy. I'm so lucky to have a husband that kindly turns his cheek as I sometimes, okay always, overdue it. I have to remind myself that not every holiday is Christmas, but who am I kidding?! We all had such a beautiful day celebrating that Christ has Risen! 














The best part of the day... GiGi with all four of her great grand children.

Phoenix Vacay

We flew off to Phoenix last week to visit our very best friends the Christmans and most importantly to meet the newest addition to their family, miss Kennedy. The boys were excellent on the plane ride, and we all had such a wonderful time visiting and playing. The dads got to have their day out golfing and then us moms had a girls day out of pedicures, shopping, and lunch. 


Just waiting for our plane.


The boys having their lunch on the plane... so big and so well behaved!

I didn't want to put her down!! There is nothing as sweet as cuddling a newborn!

Meeting the Easter Bunny


Water table fun in the front yard.

Splash pad and park fun!


We have a picture of Avery and Lucas just like this at our house when they were about this same age. It's so fun to now have one Caleb and Kennedy. We're crossing our fingers that one way or another one of our boys will marry one of their girls! I'll keep dreaming! 


Lucas and Avery were a riot together. One minute playing so nicely, the next bossing each other around and arguing. By far the best moments of the weekend were watching them dance and sing the frozen songs together.

I'll save this picture for their wedding! ;)


Attempting to get a picture of the four of them with the three bigger ones looking at the camera was comical, however this turned our pretty cute! We miss you guys already!

Photo Dump

I've been so bad with blogging our everyday pictures... so here is a little photo dump from my cell phone. :) 
Caleb loves playing in the cupboards. Any and every cupboard he can get his little hands in he does. I love it because it keeps him busy while I make dinner. Now just to teach him to put it all back! 

We had a huge rain storm a couple weeks back. Now that it is sunny and warm it seems like this was so long ago! Lucas was playing in the rain while Caleb looked on. This was the same storm that about 15 minutes after Lucas came in from playing, there were tornado warnings issued. In California?! What?! It didn't turn into anything big, but made for some very interesting clouds and was enough to glue me to the TV to make sure we didn't need to barricade ourselves in the hall. Dramatic... I know! :)



Soon enough I'll get to play in the rain too! 

Crazy looking clouds!

I love when Lucas grabs onto Matt's hand when we are out for family walks. He loves having daddy pull him along on his scooter.

He always want to be just like daddy...

And sweet Cal is pulling himself up on everything! I think walking is just around the corner.

I love that face!!!
