Happy Easter!

Happy Easter!  WE love Easter around here and for some reason our Easter bunny LOVES Easter too.  Its just to hard to stay away from all the spring colors and fun when winter just barely got over. 
 
Bode had to be woke up Easter morning so we could make it too church.  He was a very tired boy from all the fun we had the day before and was good with one egg!  


 
 
Easter bunny puts eggs and baskets all over the house, in the kids bed, and all over the backyard.  Yup, we are spoiled and love it. 

Rylie was determined to get the egg out of the tree.
  Even if it meant using a bat.
 
new Church clothes, they are so adorable!! I love these kids of mine! 
 
 
Posing in their new spring clothes.  Love the bright colors
 
 
My mom and dad go all out for Easter.  We had such a good dinner, I mean the BEST Easter dinner ever.  Her potato salad and devil eggs are the best.  I got assigned to bring rolls this year which was easy enough for me to buy!  But my mom always makes home made rolls at Easter and they are the best for a ham sandwich that evening.  I braved making homemade rolls and they turned out SOOO good, I even made them again.  
 
Ready to do the Easter Egg hunt.
 
 
 
 My cute family, love Easter!

and of course US! 
Happy Easter!

easter happenings...

Easter happenings... life gets rolling by sometime and its the little things we get to do together that mean the most.  I love holidays because it gives us reasons to do little things.
like Coloring easter eggs!  Who doesn't love that mess.
 
We love picking Rylie up from school and spending the rest of the day with her.  When she got home from school, they had an easter egg lunch.  They were pretty excited.


We tried something new this year and hope it too becomes a tradition! 
 
We went to the town easter egg hunt in Weston.  It was so fun and the kids were excited to be with their cousins.  That always makes it more fun.
Annie, Taylor, Bode, Holly, Rylie, Josie, Addy

 Grandma Kay was helping Bode open his eggs.  I couldn't resist this picture of them, isn't it so cute. My Children are SOOOO lucky to be able to spend time with all their grandparents.

 Hopping down the bunny trail!  2013 and 2012  Pretty cute kids!

Bode is into doing his hair, and doing it several times a day.  He comes it down, gels it and then runs the brush through it to get the style below.  Yes he is still adorable. 
 
 One sunny day, Rylie drew this picture with sidewalk chalk.  It rained like 20 minutes later and wiped it away.  She is quite the artist and so creative

 
Rylie and Bode have been into playing Basketball !


 
Rylie had "crazy hair day" at school. 
We forgot until that morning, but no matter what, she looks pretty darn sweet.

more spring pictures...

This spring has brought some crazy weather.  We go from cold and snowy to warm and sunny!
Rylie and Bode playing outback one warm/snow day!  Yes Rylie is in a dance outfit, jacket and boots.  Yes Bode has on like four shirts so he doesn't have to wear a coat and boots.
 

Bode's favorite thing this winter was feeding cows with Grandpa Smith.  We made several trips up so Bode could feed. It's a pretty special thing for Bode and I think Grandpa too.  Today they were going to check on the cows and I thought they looked pretty darn special walking hand and hand!! 



 
 Attended the AGGIE gymnastic meets with good friends and had a good time.
 
Bode cannot wait for warm weather...  Here he is digging the snowbank to help melt the snow.

He loves to work!  Such a BOY!!
now onto spring weather and spring break!
