Week 14

Let the Easter festivities begin!

First up was the Easter egg hunt that our neighborhood puts on. I loved that the eggs were filled with little things like stickers, erasers, tattoos, etc. instead of candy! The kids made out well and had a great time.

Alexis had her first soccer game of the season! She told us she wasn't going to sing and dance in the goal this year…. but she did. =)

Next up was dying Easter eggs. I bought the sea creatures pack at Target, it was fun! 

Easter morning the kids were so excited to find their baskets and woke us up super early. Made me laugh. I think they were very happy with the Easter bunny this year. =)

Then we got dressed in our Easter best. I love buying the kids coordinating outfits for holidays. I will be so bummed when they don't allow me to do it anymore. 

Then we headed over to my parents house. We had prime rib and baked potatoes and my parents had a egg hunt set up for them in their backyard. It was a nice and relaxing day.

My parents gave Paxton this Spider-man mask for Easter and he wanted nothing to do with it that day. But the next day, he wouldn't take it off! He even wore it to come with me to pick sis up from Kindergarten. Too funny!

Week 15

Alexis had her FIRST soccer game! We were all so excited for the occasion, we even invited grandma and papa to come along. She sure was cute in her little jersey and pigtails. Her coach put her as goalie. She was afraid of the ball, but she loved singing and dancing in front of the goal. I'm so happy Cory caught it all on camera. We talked with her about paying attention to the ball and watching where it is so that she would be ready to block it. I think it went right over her head. ;)

After her game we went out to brunch with grandma and papa and we went over to their house so the kids could play with their toys (grandma and papa's toys are more fun then ours apparently).

We went with some friends to "Baby Animal Days". It's a cute little event that a local farm puts on so the kids can come and see and pet the baby animals. It was pretty cold out but we had a good time. I think Alexis' favorite was the white pony and Paxton's was the baby ducks. He thought it was hilarious that the ducks would go swimming in their water dish.

The cutest bunch of kiddos! I just LOVE all of them.

We FINALLY had a super warm Spring day. I didn't want to waste it! It was the perfect time to get Easter pictures of the kids wearing their Easter best. So I took them out to my new favorite picture location and we had a 2 hour shoot. I can't believe they gave me 2 whole hours. It was fun!

(this one is my favorite! I'm thinking of getting it on canvas and hanging on my wall. What do you all think?)
