Sunday Best

The kids were thrilled to wake up on Easter morning to realize that the Easter Bunny paid them a visit!

Lots of fun snacks and activities.  Walker got a new "weather center".  He seriously wants to be a weather man when he grows up.  He loves his new tool.  He's always quick to tell us whats going outside.  I like his passion about it!

After all that excitement, we got dressed for church.  Oh my, look at this preciousness....

We had a great morning at church, and the kids were in fantastic during the service.

After church, we went to a new restaurant row and had lunch at Del Friscos Grille.  It was delicious and the kids were really good the entire time.  A sweet lady came over to us and told us how well behaved our kids are.  What a lovely compliment!  They are pretty good.... if I do say so!

After lunch, they were ready to run around.  Unfortunately for them.... it meant mommy got to take some more pictures.

Such precious little loves!!!

Happy Easter!

Easter weekend means fun egg hunts!  Thankfully, Bunny and RayRay like to hide eggs!

Bunny and RayRay also put money in the eggs.  The kids REALLY like that!

And, they have to crack some eggs on each other's heads....

Such a fun time and some fun pictures to go with it:

After all the egg hunting, it was time to dye some eggs....

They did a great job!  It was a fun filled day and they were pooped.  They even managed to sleep in the same bed that night.

Awwww, such sweeties.

Easter Morning

We spent the night at Bunny and RayRays for Easter.  Thankfully, the Easter Bunny found the kids!  They thought it was pretty cool that he knew where they were.

After playing with some fun, new stuff, we got all dolled up for church.  

Here comes the picture overload!

I LOVE them all!  I've always known it, but turquoise IS Everly's COLOR!  (insert Julia Roberts from Steel Magnolias, "pink is my signature color".)  She looks so beautiful in that color.  And, Walker always looks so handsome! I just love the bright, springy colors.

Great pictures, followed by an amazing church service.  Walker got to go to big church.  He did absolutely fabulous.  Mommy and Daddy are happy to report that he was very interested in the baptisms.  Love when things like that lead to important conversations about Jesus!!  A perfect Easter!

Egg Hunting

Hunting eggs in Bunny and RayRay's backyard is a favorite activity.  In fact, it doesn't have to be Easter.  The kids love it!

They were so excited… not only to find the eggs, but to get the candy and money out!

 
I realize that I am including three almost identical pictures, but I think they are so cute!

Here they are counting the eggs…

We found them all!

And, they both loved counting and straightening their money!   (Can't decide if that comes from Daddy or Bunny.  Both, I guess!)

Half to savings and few dollars to save up to buy something they want!  It was a great pre-Easter celebration.

Housewives' Guys

We've got some fun neighbors.  And, the girls make a point to get together every month.  We call ourselves the Real Housewives of SilverStone.  RHSS for short.  We do get together with our men, but that usually includes families.  It's always hard to really catch up when you are chasing kids.  So, we had a little Italian themed dinner party for the couples!

I threw in the leaves on the dining table and somehow we all fit!

I love that I have my mom's table and all that came with it.  The red and white checked table cloth was used for a very fun party in the 90s!  It was so fun to bring it back out.  We all had a great time and us girls enjoyed having the guys with us!

And, in the meantime, Walker and Everly got to dye some eggs!!!!

It was a great start to the holiday weekend!

Easter Parties

Easter parties are fun!  Walker and Everly were so excited to go to school for their Easter celebrations!

Here's Everly with one of her best pals, Sarah:

 
Time for hunting!

And, here she is with her other best pal, Becca!

And, the whole class with Miss Jeanne:

Thankfully, Walker's party was after Everly's.  These kids are so cute, but, they really didn't want to pose!  They couldn't wait to hunt!!!!

It was a mad dash to see who could get the most eggs!

They both have such great friends and good teachers.  A fun Easter time had by all!

Easter Morning

We love taking pictures in Bunny and RayRay's backyard on Easter morning.  Our precious girl was READY for her pictures!

So precious in her adorable dress!

I couldn't get Walker by himself, but thankfully he posed with his sister! (he was very proud of his outfit!)

They are such sweeties!

And, some pretty good family pictures!

More sweet smiles.

And, posing with Bunny and RayRay:

And, Savannah and Ryder:

Then we were off to church, for a wonderful Easter service.  We love our church.  Not only for what we get out of it, but for what they are teaching our children.  They are so proud to know their (all important) Bible verse.  "He is not here, for He has risen!" Matthew 28:6.  Warms our hearts to hear them say that verse.

It was a great morning.  And, then we came home to find that the Easter bunny made a stop at our house!  Wow, more cool stuff.  They were thrilled!

Cousin Fun

We had a special Easter weekend, because Savannah and Ryder came to visit!  We were sad that Carson wasn't able to make the trip, but we were happy to get some good, fun time with these two!  We did lots of egg hunting, football and baseball playing and just having fun!

Here are a lot of fun pictures.  

I love Everly's smile here:

Sporting events!

Bunny bought confetti eggs…. they were a hit!

Everly thinks cousin Savannah is pretty cool!

It was a great weekend.  Cousin time is the best!
