oh how this is my f a v o r i t e part of spring!
sibling picture didn’t really happen this year…
maybe next year it will happen with another little sweet face…
{24 weeks}
we just checked on this patch the other day and it’s already gone! can’t wait to see it bloom again next year. as always, it was beautiful while it lasted!

complete opposite, you two are….
yet the best built in friends you could ever find…
your hobbies these days… carrying backpacks {everywhere}, ditching naps, playing on the driveway for hours with bikes and blocks. drawing on each other with chalk, carrying your many stuffed animals from room to room around the house, picking me flowers and sometimes just weeds { thanks sam}.
samuel, your newest phrase is “i uv it!” with your hands raised….
jack, can you slow your growing down a bit… you are more than ready to get this wedding season started.
you two are inseparable, the best way i have learned to punish one or the other is to just have you separated from each other… it’s been working like a charm because you quickly miss each others’ company…
oh man, i could watch you two all day, then again… i realize i am so lucky i get to!
love you boys!

easter weekend was not as sunny as we hoped but we made the best of it! we were so blessed to go to the co- cathedral downtown as we have the last 7 + years and see some of our closest friends. god is so good and allowed us to run into some of our favorite priests as well 🙂 it was so good to catch up.
jack, you made your first wish in a fountain. one of those moments i realized, “oh goodness you have never heard of this before!” so you and samuel were excited to pick out a coin from your backpacks and throw it in. afterwards you asked me what you wished for. i’m not too sure you caught on to who was doing the wishing 😉
the next day we enjoyed a little more sunshine the forecasters didn’t predict. we hid some empty eggs in gramps and granny’s backyard to practice hunting 🙂 you guys loved it!
that night before it got too late, we started decorating eggs. i think it was too late for samuel, he fell asleep watching “woof” aka 101 dalmations. jack, after a long day, you were in a daze. you enjoyed dyeing the eggs alot more than coloring them.
alleluia! HE is risen as HE said!
easter sunday morning was filled with excitement over what was in your easter baskets and excitement that we all got out of the house happily dressed in time for mass 🙂
boo the rainy weather, indoor pics just aren’t as springy….
even though i was bummed about the weather, i wanted to run out in the “mist” to catch a pregnancy picture. ha this is oh so natural… i didn’t even think of the background. oh wells we tried! everyone says poor number three….
samuel loved his “mi mi” egg. he did not want to let go of that little minion. sorry buddy it wouldn’t smell too good after a while.
the winlands came by to celebrate with us! they brought eggs for the big kids to hunt. that was a site to see 🙂 teenagers running around the wet backyard all in search of those golden eggs…
jack, you got some good practice in with your new jump rope … while granny and bailey had some good laughs.
after a great sunday afternoon nap, the sun came out and we enjoyed trying to walk off all that easter candy …
it was so nice, daddy was able to schedule some houston meetings on monday so we stayed one more night. the next morning was aunt dana’s birthday. erika and bailey kept the boys for us so we could enjoy a little shopping and a yummy lunch! it worked out so perfectly!
a very happy birthday and many blessings to you, dana, in this next year! thank you for letting me spend the afternoon with you on your actual birthday. i love being able to visit you and granny together, it’s a one stop shop and i always leave with a very full heart and extra laughing lines 😉
