Easter Morning

This Easter we were happy to celebrate Brynn's first Easter with us.

We were also happy that Nana was able to attend church with us.

Hallelujah, He is risen!

He is not here; he has risen, just as he said. Come and see the place where he lay.  Matthew 28:6

Field Trip Day

It is every student's favorite day... field trip day!  Blake counted down for over a week leading up to this day.

 He was so excited about getting to ride the bus.  They went to the Museum of Nature and Science.  Daddy was able to go as a chaperon (and picture taker for mommy). 

 There was a big excavation area where they got to brush and scoop dirt like an Archaeologist.  Blake really like this part (no pictures).  They watched an Imax movie about the Texas sky.

 There were many things science related they got to explore.

Blake and his daddy, along with his friends had a wonderful day together!

Baby Shower

Brynn was invited to attend her first baby shower with me.

 She was very excited to see that there was a "baby" at the shower!  She followed this little girl around saying "baby" so excitedly! 

 She and I had fun celebrating the upcoming arrival of baby Mallory!

I love her "cheese" smile!

Math Night

Blake's school had a Math Night for families to come and play math games with their children.

We all attended with Blake.  I was hoping to take some pictures of the action, but we had our hands full with the action!  Always action with these three guys!  This picture before we went into the school was the only one I got of our evening.

Bumping Up And Down

in our little red wagon,

 Having so much fun!

 And so thankful for such a good wagon puller.

 And good cold water.

Having so much fun!!

Egg Hunt

We were excited that the day for our annual Easter Egg Hunt had finally arrived.  Blake had been looking forward to it!

Barrett wasn't old enough to remember going the past years.  I will never forget taking him in the front pack carrier when he was just one week old!

This was Brynn's first Easter Egg Hunt!

We waited while the adults hid the eggs.

And then they were off!

I was only able to catch glimpses of the boys as they ran from egg to egg.

Brynn took things nice and slow.

So unlike her brothers.

They were sweet and all three shared eggs.

They were pleased with their finds and excited to see what was inside.

Did I mention that Brynn took things nice and slow?

It didn't take her long to catch on to the concept of hunting for the eggs and she had herself a good time!

And yes, that is Brynn's pink bracelet that Barrett felt the need to wear to the egg hunt.

After all the eggs had been found, it was back to the tables to examine their loot.

They got to pick some candy to enjoy.

A treat for sure!

Our kids are not used to eating much candy... as you can see Barrett went all out!

Head back, candy in.

We have been taking a picture of these three friends at the egg hunt since they have been old enough to walk.  My, my they are growing up so fast!  Poor Chaney wasn't feeling well this year though :(

This was Carly's first year to join us, and we are so glad she did!

 Brynn's little friend Abby Jane was there.  They share the same birthday!  Abby Jane was giving Brynn a hug goodbye... and kept hugging and hugging.  You can see in the last picture that Brynn was done hugging but Abby Jane wasn't!  So cute!

We are always so thankful for Chaney's grandparents for hosting such a wonderful hunt!

Sillies

3 little sillies playing on the bed.

 2 of the sillies got extra silly with each other.

 They couldn't contain their silly giggles!

 And so they didn't.

 They giggled and giggled.

 You could say it was contagious... it didn't stop with the 2 giggle boxes...

There ended up being 5.

Have a happy giggly day!
