Lots of Easter Pictures!

We had a wonderful Easter! The girls are at such a fun age and we all enjoyed the whole day so much. Here is our Easter pretty much play by play in pictures- enjoy.

Painting the eggs

My and Dave's one egg

We hid their Easter baskets in the house for them to find and yup Ty was up at 6:30 down stairs looking for her basket. It was in the shower in the bathroom:)

All Tyler wanted from the Easter Bunny was a golf ball-??-strange, but she was so excited when she found a golf ball in her basket

I think Mads ate some chocolate

Ready to go outside and find all the eggs. We hid 60 eggs and they were so good at finding them.

Mads would just walk liesurely around with her basket and pick up eggs

While Ty left her basket in one place and ran frantically all over the yard picking up as many eggs as she could hold in her hands.

The Easter Bunny even put some eggs in the pool!

Then Dave made us his specialty breakfast. We call it Dave's Greek Delight. Fried rice, with fried eggs, tomatos, avacodo, greek olives, feta cheese and some red devil hot sauce. I have to admit it's pretty dang good.

My beautiful Ty, ready for church

They got this jewelry in their baskets and I can't believe they kept it on All day.

And my adorable little Mads all Easter decked out

Me and my girls

Dave and Ty



Let's take a little picture break and tell a quick story.
Dave: "Ty, what is Easter really about?"
Ty: "Jesus died"
Dave: "and then what happened?"
Ty: "I don't know"
Dave: "He came back to life, it's called resurrection"
Ty: "Yah and then Jesus came down and gave the Easter Bunny a big high five!"

At my parents house for another Easter egg hunt. Thalia helping Tyler

Happy Easter Weekend!

I hope everyone has a very Happy Easter Weekend!!
I know I'll be finding lots of eggs, and eating lots of candy, and enjoying time with my beautiful family.

Most important on Easter Day I'll be so thankful for the knowledge that Jesus Christ was resurrected. He lives today and I know He is always with us.

When should I start worrying?

I have a major case of finger suckers. Not thumb, Tyler sucks her right pointer finger's knuckle and Madix sucks her left pointer and thumb together. Tyler's teeth are messed up from it and she has a big wart type bump on her finger from it.
So when do I need to worry about doing something about it and HOW?? She just turned 3 and I know binkies would be gone by now, so shouldn't finger sucking?

She mostly only does it when she's watching a movie and if she has her froggie. Do I take away her froggie? I don't have the heart to do that. She is so attached.


And in the car. If she's not talking, she's sucking.




RANDOM THINGS

Getting ready to go to dance. It's so hard for her to turn her feet out and put her hands on her hips. That's how uncoordinated she is right now. They're learning how to skip in class. I wish I had a video of Tyler trying to skip. It's the funniest thing, she's not even close, and everytime she tries to hop her tongue comes out.

she's a rockstar

It was such a beautiful day Sunday, we went up to Estrella Lake for a walk.
Watching the ducks.

I made a chocolate banana pie (oh my favorite), and the girls were so happy for about a half an hour just licking the bowl.

I wish I could say I made this sign, but I'm not crafty whatsoever, so I ordered it to hang in their bedroom. I think it turned out very cute.

This and That of March

Nothing that exciting has happened this month. We're just enjoying the beautiful spring weather. Here's what's been going on:


My girls have turned into dogs. This is their new favorite thing to do. Crawling around with their tongues out, barking. If I ask them to do something, I can't call them by their name I have to say "dog, will you do this". I was even at the grocery store yesterday when they both got down on their hands and knees in the frozen foods isle and just wanted to be dogs, and they would NOT walk.

Then Madix has started this new habbit of spitting, well trying, blowing really hard through her lips. (sorry about the cheese in her mouth)

I get so mad if Tyler EVER does that, but for some reason when Madix does it, it's so funny I just laugh. Is that wrong? She opens her mouth really wide, then blows really hard!

Just enjoying the nice weather, eating a snack.

My sister Melanie was in town all last week. Sat. night we had a sisters night. Went and got pedicures, then dinner and a movie. We saw Duplicity and I would not reccomend it. We all thought it was sooo stupid.

My sista's, Kacey and Melanie

Going to church. I could not get Madix to smile for the life of me.

Madix just started using a fork to eat and is doing so good at it.

She was so excited about it and ate every single bite with her fork. This is breakfast, thus the morning hair.

Tyler had to get in a picture too.

They love to sit outside and put their feet in the pool. It won't be long until they're all the way in.

Park day.

I love these little overalls.

If you were to get a pet

Okay, so I'm not a pet person and really only like animals from a distance (except for dolphins, I LOVE them, have swam with them and wish I could have one in our pool). Other than that we only have a dog cause Dave. And I have to say Meeka has become part of our family and the girls adore her and LOVE to climb all over her and play and if we HAVE to have a pet, she's the one to have.

But this is too funny, and only my brother would drive all the way to Georgia and spend big $ on a pure bread pot bellie pig for a pet. Yup, this isn't for outside on the farm, this is a pet that lives in their house in the city. They've potty trained her and say they can teach her tricks. We'll see. She was at my moms house for Ty's birthday and she just wandered around the whole time snorting. Literally she snorted for the whole 2 hrs. she was there sniffing the floor. She even tried to take a nibble on my toe.
So which would you rather have?

sweet,adorable, little Meeka


how can your resist this puppy face?

then there's Opie(and imagine her the same hieght but 50 pounds heavier!!)

the kids tried to hold her and she would sometimes let them and sometimes squeal

Madix did really like her
