Rewind back to the weekend of Spring Break…

My parents just upgraded their playground in the back yard and the kids were loving it!

This big girl recently learned to swing herself (pumping legs and all) and spent a lot of time here !

Sweet handsome boy!

These two together spell t-r-o-u-b-l-e!

Oh boy, even when you’re throwing me sassy looks, you’re still so cute!

This little one is turning into quite the diva, but oh how sweet she is too!

Our attempt at a bluebonnet pic in my parents’ backyard.

A perfect way to spend the weekend and wrap up the kids fun week!

We had a wonderful time in SA celebrating Easter with family.  My sister played hostess to all of us for a morning of egg hunting, lunch and playing with cousins/friends.  Before heading to her house, I captured a couple of pictures of the kids….these two make my heart swoon….love them so much.

We loaded up the tractors from Granny & Papa’s house providing lots of entertainment for the littles.

The trampoline was also a big hit!

Braden and Katie giving Grandma head bonks!

These two don’t skip a beat…picked up right where they left off from our last visit!

Group pic (most of the group anyway) before the egg hunt

Checking out the loot…

I love the intense concentration on his face, pure determination to get that egg open!

Riley & Granny checking out her loot…

The golden egg!!

Love this little candy loving munchkin!

“Please Aunt ‘Manda, stop taking pictures and help me get more candy!”

Thankful for our Savior for giving us a reason to celebrate! Looking forward to (hopefully) seeing our family & friends again soon.

Rewind to January…

We spent the long holiday weekend with my mom’s side of the family in Marshall and had a great time!  Aunt Laurie surprised the kids with a huge bounce house for the weekend, and we were blessed by beautiful weather to enjoy it plus the other fun stuff she has!  We also got to celebrate Meadow’s 8th birthday (she’s showing off her new A. Girl doll below)!

This girl LOVES her baby cousin! Who wouldn’t though…love those sweet cheeks!

Monkey girl…

Craft time!

Braden spent lots of time on the powerwheels and became quite the expert driver!

Baby cousin was taking notes, before we knew it she was off on her own and loving it!!

What a fun, relaxing weekend with family!
