Easter Morning








We got pictures of what the Easter Bunny brought.

We got pictures of us all dressed up before church. (Case took the picture of Josh and me.)

We even got to church early.

It was an Easter miracle.

Coloring Easter Eggs






The boys had fun decorating Easter eggs this year.

Easter Egg Hunt Day




Last weekend, some friends from church organized a huge Easter Egg Hunt Day for all the families. It was great!

Gram was (and is still) in town so she got to come too!

The Easter Bunny was there. Can you tell Liam was super excited?

Case got to decorate cookies and draw.

Then they had three separate areas for different ages for the Egg Hunt. So smart. I went with L Child while Mom took C. As you can see from the his hunt, C made out like a bandit.

L Child took up with a new friend named Eloise. She's from France - isn't she a cutie?!? He also got to hunt for eggs with some other friends from Bible Class: Ben, Paige, and Livi. Bunch of cuties.

When we weren't busy with all that, we all were taking turns holding Talla. Another cutie.







For His Mud Pies



During the Easter Egg hunt at church last weekend, C picked up some goodies for his mud pies.

Gavin's 1st Bday Party










We got to go to Gavin's 1st Bday party last month too. Funtimes!

Too Cold For Soccer




We were glad that the other team didn't show - it was too cold that day in March!

Play Time



What Casen Sees...






....or at the least what he loves. C likes to take pictures now - here's some of the best ones.

Josh's Birthday Non-Surprise






Last month (I know, I've been MIA in the blogging world - blame it on the end of the semester!), the day before Josh's birthday, I went and bought him his birthday gifts. He really wanted a fishing pole so that was his main gift. I picked the boys up from Mimi's, and they saw the fishing pole. When we got home, they helped me wrap his gifts. Casen and I talked about surprises and how he couldn't tell Daddy about his gift. Many times that evening. We even hid the gifts in a place Daddy would never look - the top of Casen's closet.

Apparently, this is the gist of what occurred while I was putting Liam down for bed that evening:

[Josh walks in from work. Case is on the couch watching TV.]

Casen: Hi Daddy. Do you want to know where your gifts are?

Josh: Hi Casen. How was your day? (ignores question)

Casen: Do you want to know where your gifts are? In my closet!

Josh: Hahaha Okay. I think that's supposed to be a secret.

Casen: Do you want to know what they are? A fishing pole! A shirt!

[Josh proceeds to call his mom in the garage to tell her the story before I come out and find out that the surprise was not a surprise anymore.]

[I come out of Liam's room. Casen starts crying because he really wants Daddy to open his gifts.]

[Daddy opens his gifts. Early. And not a surprise.]

Since then, it's become apparent that Case can't keep things quiet. When we play hide-and-go-seek, he yells from his hiding spot, "I'm in the closet!"

Liam on the other hand might be able to keep a secret one day. He goes and hides now and won't come out when you call him. He waits until you find him - near a heart attack that you've lost him.

The boys keep us on our toes!

Why I'm So Blessed



I never knew I could love this much. My heart is full when I look around the house and see these guys.
