Best Big Brother Award

Reilly is such a great big brother! Sarina loves to be just like him so when he switched from using 

roller skates to roller blades she thought she needed some too!!

After many trips through the Et Cetera shop we finally found some!!

She soon figured out they weren't quite like roller skates.  

 Reilly managed to keep his balance most of the time while trying to help her along.  

 Ever so slowly...

 I love this picture...he let go of her hand to see if she could do it!!!  And she did.

He's cheering her on!

Praying we have a summer free of ER visits.  These two and their wheels...

I looked out the window to see Reilly riding a scooter...while wearing his roller blades and Sarina going down the slide...while wearing hers!!!!! Eeek!  Mean Mom put the cabosh on that!! 

So in love with these two summer kids!!!

Piano & Popsicles

Reilly performed in his first Talent Show this year.  He memorized Canon in D and played it beautifully! Great Job Bud!

We are so glad he enjoys playing!

It's Popsicle season again!!! Reilly comes home from school so sweaty from playing hard.  There's nothing more refreshing than sitting on the swing set lickin' a Popsicle!  A healthy one at that!!

This year we decided to make our own yogurt pops. It's a super yummy treat!

Summer here we come!!!

April Beginnings

Sarina loves to spend every minute with Daddy when he's home.  A few weeks ago it was still

freezing and the yard REALLY needed to me mowed.  

So there she is all bundled in her snowsuit helping Daddy mow!

Right around Easter Sarina learned to blow bubbles.  She will ask for gum every day now and then start popping!  Usually you hear her flying up behind you grunting to get your attention.  Then once you are looking at her she'll blow with all her might and makes a tiny bubble.  Love the excitement in her eyes!

 

Mommy was able to enjoy lots of ME time with this group over the last few months.  

We spent our Monday evenings together studding the Bible, baking, and eating so many delicious meals.  Thank you to all my mentors and hosts for opening your hearts, homes and then pampering us! 

I learned so much and enjoyed getting to know each of you better.  

Love you all Apples of Gold Girls!!!

Happy Easter!

Easter morning we took the kids to the sunrise service...they were troopers!

After a delicious breakfast with Christi at Cracker Barrel we went home to change the kids into

their Easter outfits and snap a few pictures.  

Love her little double chin and how excited she is to go to Sunday School.  

 

"I love you SOOOOOO much" is her favorite line, followed by planting smooches all over you!

 

My cuties!

I couldn't pick just one picture...I loved them all!

The foursome!

Easter baskets! They were so excited to find neck pillows for the van!

 

In the evening we went to Mom and Dad's for supper.  Grandpa made some delicious ham!

 

Mom's table looked so pretty and her dessert did too!

She found her pink egg...and stuffed her cheeks with candy!

 

Reilly had to work to find his. 

 

Aaaand...one last picture from Easter Sunday...I think they are all over tired!

Coloring Eggs

We had fun coloring eggs on Easter Monday!
