Enjoying the spoils of Easter

Nothing as yummy in the morning as Easter candy!
(I am eating it and Mom isn't even stopping me)

Egg Hunt at Grandma and Grandpa's

For Easter the kids had an egg hunt in Grandma and Grandpa's backyard!

title of liberty and temple pics

For Family Home Evening one night we read the Title of Liberty story from the Book of Mormon. We dressed Joe-Joe up like a warrior. He is the cutest Stripling Warrior I have ever seen! I bet he thought we were nuts.


Auntie Shana went through the temple!
We were so happy to be there and share that time with her. It was a very special day!!

Super Papa!

Joe-Joe loves Superman and was super excited when Papa showed his Super Papa costume!
We had to get pictures of the two Supermen together.

SNOW!!!

It finally snowed! We were stuck at home for about 4 days - mostly due to ice after the snow.
The kids enjoyed it but wouldn't stay out in it for long. There was lots of complaining from Mary of it being too cold.

His exact words: "It's snowing!!!"

Our little apartment cloaked in snow with all the neighborhood kids congregating there to play (they moved too quick to capture them all).
There was lots of snow fights and snow angels then they would come in for breaks to warm up.

Our snow bunnies

Monster Trucks

Josh won tickets to the Monster Truck Rally in Raleigh.
Mom and the kids had never been to anything like that before. We ended up next to our friends the Hollomans.
It was a blast and VERY LOUD!!!

How in the world Carson fell asleep is beyond me!!

Mary and Joe were mesmerized! They didn't care too much for the noise (especially Joe who hates loud noises) but they still had fun. Mom and Dad's favorite part was the stunt bike and atv riders. That was some amazing stuff!!

Yet another party for Mary

We had another family party for Mary so Daddy and a few others could celebrate.



See the Cookie Monster cake Mommy made!
When Mommy was a little girl her mom made a cake a lot like this one for her. It actually turned out pretty cute!

Aunt Cheri and Uncle Dave made sure the princess had a gown to go with her tiara and shoes. She loves it! We think her favorite princess is Aurora from Sleeping Beauty.

Our baby girl LOVES clothes. She got lots of clothes for her birthday. You can always tell if she likes an outfit by her immediate reaction to it.

So mothering. She was helping cousin Jacob button his shirt. She was very concerned that his shirt wasn't right.
Nurturing just comes naturally to her.
