Easter

I love how much Avery and Savannah truly love each other!

We had lunch with our friends Jonathan and Erin after church today, and enjoyed a scrumptious meal! Avery hid eggs for us and WE the adults had to go find them in the backyard. LOL! He was delighted when we found one, and even more overjoyed when he could take you around and show you each spot they were hidden in.

Yesterday we made "stain-glass" crosses for our windows in preparation for our special day of celebrating Jesus rising from the dead. The kids had a lot of fun shaving the color crayons and watching them melt under the iron, unfortunately this morning Daddy's shirt was made a part of the craft and he had to find another outfit to wear for church. (some of the crayon got melted onto his shirt ... oops?! I guess we need a new ironing board cover)

Just Because

So Avery, Savannah and I were sitting down at the kitchen table to eat our left-over pizza; I put ranch on my plate and the children just got pizza... ergo the conversation

"Can I have some dip?" Savannah sweetly said
"Can I have some dip?" Avery mockingly said
"NO, just eat your pizza!"

"Why do you get dip?" Avery insisted
"Just because I have a little ranch."

"But why do you have dip?" Avery persistently questioned
"Just because!"

"Well... can I have some dip just BECAUSE?" Avery chimed back at me.

And that is how it went! I know my motherly right to say 'just because' is coming to an expiration with this one!!

Family Trip

Uncle Daniel posing for Avery taking a picture

he was on the hunt for a crab...

Savannah... the girly-girly she is, said to me "there's a lot of CRUMBS Mama!" which was hysterical considering the beach sand DID resemble bread crumbs.

who was coming up and who was going down?

This was a place that Aaron took us, where he used to play as a little boy. How much FUN would this be as a kid!!

Avery becoming 'Man vs Wild' , or "the forest guy" as Avery calls him.

We stumbled upon this newly hung rope swing! It dropped off there in the back about 5 feet.

Our New Dog Paisley!

This was the day I brought her home! I road with my friend Tammy to Jacksonville Saturday morning. Avery would have been in the picture, but due to just waking up from a nap, he is not fully clothed!!

This is a day later, fitting in quite nicely into our family

Awesome tees!!

Apart from the obvious reasons I love my children, these are the special moments that warm my heart!

Savannah picked out the dress up clothes, apart from the necklace and gloves. She insists on putting the bonnet on with the ribbons dangling in the front.
