Random Week in review....

This was another busy week in our home. I already posted pictures of Michael's violin concert, but he has also been practicing for at least 3 hrs a day for his "Seussical" performance. Jared is in "Wizard of Oz" and he has been practicing weekly. This week consisted of Girl Scouts, Cub Scouts, Boy Scouts, Young Men's, Drama club practices, strings concert, Mother's Day prep, parent club meeting, spirit week at school, and lots of etc... (Oh, and work for me as well. LOL and it was busy there too with all of our celebrations as well...)

So... here is our week at a glance... well, a bit of it.



I gave the hedgies a bath last night while their cages were cleaned.


I just love this little face! (This is Mama)


And an afternoon outside...


"Twisted Tuesday" at school.



"Dress-up like a book character" at school. Here we have "Captain Underpants" (insert eyeroll here.... yep he went JUST like this to school! Underpants on the outside and the inside.) and "Fancy Nancy"


We got the trampoline FINALLY and we got it up! YAY! (Michael isn't pictured because he jumped prior to practice.



And just a random cute picture of Duchess relaxing on what she thinks are HER bar stools.

Strings Concert

Last night was Michael's last strings concert for the year. It's always a great concert and we love going.



Waiting for his turn...


LOL patiently waiting his turn???

They're growing up!

So the babies are ready to go to their new homes soon. We are sure going to miss them! They are so cute and a lot of fun! I took them out in the front yard last week. They love going outside.

She just curled up and went to sleep. We spent a long time outside and she was sleepy!

Easter Night

It was the first time we've hosted dinner in our new home. We had ham etc. And of course we had to watch "The Wizard of Oz".





Then off to see what the kids got in their Easter baskets from "Noni" and "Papa".








Emily got new lip gloss. I will also add that it was her FIRST lip gloss.
HMMM Good idea or bad idea?



Back to watch "The Wizard".

Easter Morning

I just love Easter. Of course if you know me well, you'll know that Christmas by far is my favorite holiday EVER, but Easter comes in a close second. I love the new beginnings, I love that even though the weather is still often unfavorable, that the sun will shine again soon. I love that we are celebrating Christ's rise from the tomb and his wonderful sacrifice for us. I love that the promise of resurrection is for all of us and that after this life even though it may be hard from time to time, we will live again.


Easter morning we gt up and it was time to find what was left in the baskets...




"Even the Easter Bunny knows I like Justin Beiber!"



After we got into our Easter clothes we headed off to my work where the kids got to find some more eggs. The weather outside was still frightful,so we took some pictures and looked for eggs inside instead.




He's growing up to be such a handsome young man!


Where has my little Jared gone? He's getting to be so big!


I feel like Cai Lynn is looking more grown up every day!


My three great kids! I am so proud of them!








Now, off to church... After church I will be hosting dinner.
