Easter

I don't think the word "busy" can begin to describe our Easter weekend. It started on Thursday with Bella's field trip to the Oil Ranch in Hockley. I had my first experience as a chaperone, and it went pretty well. I only lost 2 of the kids once. There were pony rides, a petting zoo, a train, and the list goes on. Bella even got to milk a cow, which she said was gross.











Thursday night Bella and Kenna spent the night with Grandma and Grandpa at the lake. They swam at the pool and had movie night. I showed up at my leisure Friday around 1pm. Grandma and Grandpa confessed they passed out on the couch shortly after we left. I know the feeling. Saturday it was off to G. and Pappa's for some Easter fun. There were bunny cakes, egg dyeing, an Easter egg hunt, and swimming. It was a blast!!!






















On Easter Sunday, the Easter Bunny did his thing. He left Bella a Super Mario DS game, and for Kenna the Baby All Gone, she has been wanting. We headed to the early service with G. and Pappa. When we came back from church, the Easter Bunny (AKA our neighbors Matt & Carolyn) had put more eggs in the yard the girls hunted when we got home. They couldn't believe we missed those on the way to church.











Aunt Laura came for lunch, and to spend the afternoon.








We spent Sunday evening across the street with our wonderful neighbors (Matt & Carolyn) where we had ribs and hot dogs. They girls swam in their beautiful pool, and we all had a great time. I did not take my camera, because at this point I figure my kids must be half blind. We are so blessed to have such wonderful family and friends to spend our holidays with.



Also, thank you to everyone who made baskets and brought presents for the girls....Aunt Ali & Uncie Austin, Grandma & Grandpa, G. and Pappa, Aunt Kendra, Aunt Teri, Matt & Carolyn, and Aunt Laura

Kenna and the Easter Bunny

Our county library had story time and an egg hunt with the Easter Bunny today. As big a fan Kenna is of Chuck E Cheese, I thought she would adore the EB, but I was wrong. She thought he was "funny", but she did not want to be within 10 feet of him. We just waved from afar. I guess I can't complain.....I did not have to stand in the heat with 100 jumping kids to wait for a picture.

Early Easter Fun

I am a little behind on my blog posting, but we had Easter fun early with Aunt Ali and Uncie Austin the weekend before last. There was a scavenger hunt, presents, egg dyeing, confetti eggs, and of course the all you can eat candy buffet.

Bluebonnet Time

This time last year, we were right in the middle of buying/selling houses, bluebonnets were 45 minutes away, and we just did not have time for bluebonnet pics. This year however, we have a gorgeous spot about 3 miles from our house!
