Easter Day

I could not have asked for a better Easter day!  Besides the weather being perfect, 75 and sunny; we had my mom and stepfather up, played with the kids, did Easter activities, and celebrated the reason for the day, the resurrection of our Lord Jesus Christ.

Our Easter activities consisted of decorating Easter eggs (on Saturday),

 attending church in our very best  :o),

 reading the Easter story and opening resurrection eggs, 

opening Easter baskets,

  finding and opening Easter eggs and, 

sitting in our new chairs!

Hope you all had a wonderful, memorable and enjoyable Easter too.

Happy Easter

Post with pictures of today to come.

Still a Peanut

Ian had his 4 month doctor check-up yesterday, and as predicted, he officially is still our littlest peanut.  Besides his eczema issues, he looked and sounded great.  Doctor kept commenting on how happy and adorable he was.  I know I am bias, but I couldn't have agreed more.

9 Year Anniversary

I can joyfully say that after 9 years and 4 kids, I am more in love with this man than ever before. Happy Anniversary Nate! I love you with all my heart. God has truly blessed us these past 9 years and I look forward to what He has in store for us in the future. 

Happy 9 Year Anniversary!

Ian Turns 4 Months

Today our baby boy is 4 months old.  I feel like I blink and the month is gone already.  Ian really is such a blessing to this family.  He is beyond loved.  He loves to be talked to, read books to and jump in his jumperoo.  You can find him constantly cooing and laughing right along with everyone else.  Love him to pieces!

Happy 4 Month Birthday, Ian!

Post on 4 month stats to come later this week after his appointment.

Easter Carnival

This morning we attended Elyse's preschool's annual Easter Carnival.  Once again it did not disappoint.  The school puts on amazing events for younger children.  Today they got to visit the empty tomb, hunt for eggs (the hunt is indoors with eggs mixed between colored balls, genius!), jump in inflatables, and play a lot of carnival games. Since we did not want to carry around more stuff then we already had to, we relayed on using our smart phone cameras.  Pictures may not be the greatest, but the morning was!

Constantly Cycling

Now that the weather has been nice, it's a regular occurrence for the kids to put their helmets on and continuously ride their bikes.  I just hope they enjoy it this much at the end of August as they do now.

By the way, don't you agree that Kallen looks like the mushroom in Mario and Luigi...love it!
