Easter Bunny and Easter Eggs

Happy Easter! Today we dressed the kids up and took them to Belden to get their photo with the Easter Bunny. Anson and I had to be in the picture too because there's no way Lacy was leaving Daddy's side today and no way she was sitting on that bunny!

My beautiful grown-up girl!

 My handsome big boy!

 My beautiful baby girl! Wearing the same dress Lily wore when she was 2.

 I'm so proud to be these kids' mother!

 Mimi and Grandpa are up this weekend and hung out with us today. Making Easter eggs...

It was a beautiful day, sunny and near 55 degrees. We got to play outside and snuggle in the sunshine. Lily loves taking care of her little sister. Lacy had just woke up from her nap and was still a little tired.

  Mimi was swinging Dillon and Anson and his dad were talking.

More fun to come tomorrow!

Dillon's 4th Birthday Party

A couple of Sundays ago we had a small family party for Dillon. The weather was beautiful! Nana, Papa, Uncle Jamie, Uncle Jeremy and Aunt Heather came over for lunch, presents and cake & ice cream.

 The birthday boy with all his presents.

 Opening gifts

 A punching bag with over sized gloves

 A big Styrofoam plane

 A dinosaur shirt!

Lacy wanted more pizza after lunch! She was a growing girl that day.

 Lily helping Dillon hide his eyes for his last big gift!

 A new big boy bike!

 Nana and her baby girl. (I didn't realize Mom had her eyes shut otherwise I would've retaken the photo.)

 Jeremy put the big plane together and took the kids outside to play with it.

 Jamie was throwing it too. It flew really well. The one time Jeremy flew it a few yards away! The neighbor lady had to hand it back to us.

 The kids loved chasing it all over the yard.

 Silly monkey!

Riding their bikes together

 

Jeremy took them down the street on their bikes

 Dillon did really good on his new bike! 

So, I've been a bit of a blog slacker lately. We went through a few rounds of sinus infections and the stomach flu. Plus, I've been traveling more and Anson traveled one week too. We have been very busy! We are also busy getting our other house cleaned up and are hoping to sell it this year. Plus, we are really looking forward to Spring! I'll try to keep up with the blog better, though!

Lily's School Concert & Carnival and Other Randomness

A few weeks ago, Lily's class and another kindergarten class put on a music concert. Nana and Papa came to see it too. They sang about 10 songs and the kids did sign language to many of them too. Here are a few photos from the night.

The next night was a carnival at her school, so we took the kids. It was a lot of fun, except for me locking my keys in my car. That wasn't fun :(

Lily got her hair dyed green with blue dots!

They had a huge bouncy house!

The kids played games to win points on their card. Then, they turned their card in for prizes.

A had a glimpse of spring so we snuck outside for some fun in the sun!

Lacy throwing a fit - she didn't want to swing...I think it was her nap time.

Siblings are the best to snuggle with!

I took these pictures of Sampson when Anson was traveling for work. I swear he was asking me where his daddy was!?!

Lily made these paper people...without any help from us. She's very creative. She made name tags for them and if you look closely, you'll notice Lacy is even wearing glasses :)

Playing on the iPad

Lacy with her eye patch on. This was the first day, and she wasn't a fan and was mad I kept taking pictures of her. She's used to it now and does really well with it. She has to wear it for 1-2 hours a day to strengthen her "lazy eye".
