Easter Weekend 2013

We had a great Easter! We had a house full of company and couldn't have loved it more. My parents, Aunt, grandparents, and brother-in-law and sister all came to spend the weekend with us. The girls loved being with so much family. 

Avery dying eggs:)

                             The cousins, Rhyder, Avery and Adalyn. Almost impossible to get a good pic of two toddlers and a 4 yr old!

      My sweet babies

 Melt me!!!

My sweet babies

Nini and Papa. We loved having them here for the weekend! The girls are straight up obsessed with them:)

 We hunted some eggs after church. So fun!

 Love this pic of Avery and Rhyder!

Venture had our third Easter Egg Drop! Such a fun event we put on for the community!

 Addy loves to give Avery hugs all the time:)

 Avery has always loved the Easter Bunny. Adalyn, not so much.

Daddy and His Girl

Two of my favorite people in the world! I love the bond between a Daddy and his girls. Luke spends so much time doing special things with Avery and taking her on dates. She will know how to pick a good man one day I hope! These are some of my favorite pics of them together before they left one night for a Daddy Daughter dance at gymnastics a few months back.

An Instagram/ IPhone Update

We're still here! Life is busy and crazy but so wonderful. The last 2 months have flown by! On top of being super busy with two girlies I decided to go back to work as a NICU nurse. I am so blessed to have a job that I can go to just 1 or 2 days a week while the girls have a fun day with dad. It has been really good for me to be back just a little! Because my camera acts up and we're always on the run,        I usually just snap a few pictures each day with my phone. Here's a brief summary of the last 

few weeks in pictures:) 

We have enjoyed all this nice weather at the park a lot!

My little  big girl! Love her

Lots of fun Sundays at Venture. Worlds cannot describe how much I love this church!

Many, many dance parties

This little girl is a total diva. She wears me out in a totally different way than Avery did as a toddler. She's feisty!!!

                                                             But she's oh so sweet too :)

Daddy and Avery had a special daddy daughter date and dance at gymnastics.  

They both loved every second.

Easter Bunny! Adalyn feels the same as she did about Santa. Maybe next year!

Avery had a super fun Easter celebration at preschool. They hunted eggs to spell out "Jesus is Alive"

 Making Easter eggs! Avery was very into the meaning of Easter this year. She has some Resurrection Eggs from school and she can tell you the entire story of Jesus going to the cross in full detail. Gave me chills the first time she showed me. 

Aunt Laura and Uncle Blaine moved closer and we are so excited! 

Aunt Laura living closer meant that we got a date night and a babysitter one night:)

We're still keeping busy with gymnastics and my little gymnast likes to 

dress the part and practice at home.

Love sleeping babies! In between all the busy and crazy, we still find time to nap:)

Valentine's Day

We had a great Valentine's Day with our little fam. Some say the holiday is cheesy and over-rated and maybe it is but I love any reason to celebrate something! Daddy was good to all his girls! We each woke up to roses at our bedside. Avery especially felt so special to get something from Daddy that Mommy got too.  I love seeing him with his girls. A Daddy/Daughter relationship is the sweetest! We went to dinner where mommy picked and dessert where Avery picked. Olive Garden and Yogurt Story! Luke also gave me a beautiful ring with the girl's birthstone that I love.

My cute little Valentines

                                                                       
                                                                       Sister hugs

and kisses

Avery's school Valentine's party 

She loved passing out the utensils and napkins. She LOVES to help the teacher:)

Presents waiting from Mommy and Daddy. The girls also really loved all the presents they got during the week from all their grandparents. No lack of love for these two! Thank you!

                                               
                       Enjoying some frozen yogurt treats with my favorite people. What a great day!
