Happy Easter

I hope you all had a wonderful Easter. We did! I love Easter and springtime. Easter is such a symbolic time of new life & thinking of all that Jesus did for us and how amazing our God is! Then with all of the flowers blooming, sun shining, Spring days, it's just a refreshing time of the year! I love it!

Our church had an Easter carnival on Saturday with games, bounce houses, an egg hunt, and a hot dog lunch. The even had pony rides but my kids didn't want to try it. That night we went to Becky's house for some fun family time. We played games, dyed Easter eggs, and were entertained by the big kids showing off on the trampoline!

Sunday morning the kids found their Easter baskets on the back patio. There were eggs hiding back there too!

We went to church then had lunch at my parents' house. We had a nice day with them and our friends the Jones's. I was disappointed that I didn't get more pictures of the kids in their Easter clothes or a better family picture! (Sarah usually poses when the camera comes out but she wasn't in the mood that day!) We might have to try that again!

Spring is in the air!

On Friday we took advantage of the pretty weather & met up with some friends at the Fort Worth Botanic Gardens. It was the perfect day to be out there! The kids enjoyed seeing their friends. Here they are with their little buddies Elijiah and Kayden...

We walked through the butterfly exhibit...

And just enjoyed looking at all of the flowers blooming!

Spring Break

I hope your Spring Break was as relaxing as ours was! It's back to reality tomorrow!

St. Patrick's Day Playdate!

Today we had our playgroup friends over for a St.Patrick's Day Party. It was so much fun! Everyone wore green & enjoyed lots of green snacks!

The girls played in Sarah's room, then had fun doing a rainbow art project.
(And eating lots of the Fruit Loops while they worked!)

The boys played & played! (pirates, battles, Star Wars, outside, a litle of everything!)
Later they relaxed & watched a movie together.
We borrowed this funny leprechaun decoration from our friend Mrs.Pat. The kids all had fun with him, they named him Patrick.

What is going on with Sarah posing for pictures now? Crazy girl! And I don't know why Sammy crossed his eyes when I took this picture! Silly kiddos! We had such a fun day!

Happy St.Patrick's Day!!

Soccer Boy!

My little man is playing soccer this year! Isn't he just the cutest little soccer player you ever saw? I just don't think it gets much cuter!
My cutie nephew Sammy is playing too. Jenn & I are very excited about being soccer moms together. We spent many hours of our lives growing up, watching my brother play soccer! So, we feel very quailified for this soccer mom/cheerleader job! :)

Here's my guy in action! Notice only one kid has a grey shirt? That's because the other team didn't actually show up for the game! Isn't that crazy! There were only two kids from their team! So, our coach decided since we needed the practice, they just took turns being on the other team. They were all fine with that! Jacob's dad told Adam that the other team heard he was playing & they were scared. So now that's what he tells everyone! :)

He kept running over to us to tell us how he was doing, and taking lots of water breaks, right in the middle of the game!

Lots of our family came out to cheer for Adam! He had quite a fan club! Notice his cute little cheerleader sister posing for the picture! :) We had such a fun day!

Pizza & Movie Night

We've been having pizza & movie night on Fridays. This week we made our own pizzas on pita bread. We watched Alice in Wonderland- the old one, from the 80's! I remember watching it as a kid. I had forgotten how long it was though! My kids loved it!

Conversations with Adam

My little man is getting so independent. He told me that baths are for babies so now he takes showers like daddy. He washes his own hair & body, dries off, gets himself dressed. He's getting too big! Tonight he prayed at dinner. He said he loved God so much it was like a bird flying around in his heart! Sweet boy. I'm a little freaked out though because when I was tucking him in bed he told me that the Lord was calling me to His home! I hope it's not time for that quite yet!! Oh, I love that boy!

Our Fun Weekend

This weekend was so much fun I didn't want it to end!

In addition to our usual entertainment...

We also got to have lunch with my college roomate, another college friend & all of our husbands.

It was so much fun catching up with them. I'm sorry we didn't get any pictures this time!

That night we had a fun family outing~

Sesame Street Live!!

A treat from Sonic...

And lots of time with Daddy! I guess all the fun wore him out!
