Easter 2012

Finally -- my Easter post!  I feel like I have been so busy the last month that I haven't had time to blog.  And the new format on Blogger has taken me some time to figure out.  But now I've got it somewhat figured out so I can get caught up.  

The Easter Bunny visited us on Good Friday before leaving for El Campo.  They got lots of good, fun surprises.  

In El Campo the weather was beautiful so we all enjoyed a lot of outside time together.  Colton brought his four wheeler and the kids had a blast on it.   Graham's driving made me a little nervous.  I was one paranoid mom.  As my brother-in-law calls it...OPMS (Over Protected Mom Sydrome).  He was dangerous behind the wheel...running into cars, fences, you name it!  

Playing with bubbles...

Sweet Sadie was enjoying the sunshine too!

Graham and his Uncle Toy!  

Pretty girl on Easter!  How precious is she!?!

A few group shots before the Easter Egg Hunt...

Let the hunting begin!

The kids and Nonny! (minus Sadie) 

Miss Sadie!  Next year she will be in on the hunting action!

What a beautiful, blessed Easter weekend we had.  Hope you all did too!

Gone fishing...

Uncle Troy and Aunt Val gave the kids fishing poles for Christmas and we broke them out last week for the first time!

Here they are ready to go!

Bryan didn't put hooks on their lines for our 1st outting. Smart decision! They would have caught each other!

Getting pointers from Daddy...

Morgan did good and caught on pretty quick. She might just get a hook on her line next time out...

Graham needs a little more help. He had a good time but we were nervous about him dropping his rod in the water, hitting someone with it or falling in the water....

Catching on...

My favorite picture of my lil' fishermen!

Enjoying a new hobby...

We will have more fishing fun in the weeks to come. The weather is beautiful and the fish are biting!

School Easter parties

With Easter just days away we have been having fun with parties and coloring eggs...
The kids had their Easter parties at school today.

Opting out of craft time...

Graham's class (Audrey, Mallory, Carter, Graham). Addi was out for the day.

Egg hunting...





The timing of their parties worked out perfect. I was able to move right over to Morgan's egg hunt after Graham finished.

She was so excited that I was there for the hunt and party!

(Mrs. Martin, Sam, Chase, Hudson, Gywenth, Oscar, Morgan, Chloe, Nicole, Chancey, Leo, Ava, Evangeline, Mrs. Junell)

Lunch party



Look at that cute dessert one of the mom's made...

They both had a wonderful time at their Easter parties and of course, I did too. We love it at First Faith--it has been a great experience for both of them! I can't believe the year is winding down so quickly.

Here are a few pictures of the kids coloring easter egg...
They were so excited...

Can you tell? Love the silly faces :)





Graham didn't understand we had to be gentle with the eggs. He was licking and hitting them on the table...cracking several of them...

Busy decorating the eggs...

I think we are now ready for...the Easter Bunny!!!
