Easter 2011

We asked the Easter bunny to come to our house Friday night because Sunday mornings are always such a rush to get ready for church. And, at least this year, the kids don't know the difference!

Easter morning:

It was very much easier to get good pics this year. It helps that all 3 kids love to pose for the camera! I'm very happy with how they turned out. Even with Pres' new crazy smile! :)

Ava's comment after getting this done: "we don't have enough cars"...and she was serious! :)

Sunday Snapshots & Easter Egg Hunt

4/17/11

After naptime, we were invited to an Easter Egg Hunt at a friend's house.

Drew & Ava were on their 'A-game' :)

Drew even found the special egg! (I think the adults were more excited than he was...you can't eat money! :))

Presley at 18 months

Ok, so it's almost a month late....but on 4/6, Pres was 18 mos!

She is 27#8oz(88%) & 34in(97%). Still sucking her thumb, funny but has quite a temper too! Thinks she is as coordinated as Ava & Drew..which doesn't always turn out well for her! :)

1st day of framing

The kids are so excited about the house we're building. We've talked about it since we first made the decision. We would drive by the lot, show them the plans & talk about where their rooms would be. Now that the work has started, they want to drive by every time we get in the car(we average about twice/day! ;)). They are so adorable about it.

This was on the 1st day of framing. Jeremy took Ava over 1st & I got a couple pictures before Drew, Pres & I headed over to walk around.

Here's Ava looking out her window:

Fingerpainting....

We decided to let Pres try fingerpaints for the 1st time. Ava & Drew were excited, of course! Pres didn't really know what to think...

Didn't just jump in, but she did get into after a bit. Unfortunately, since I was trying to save the carpet, walls, table & chairs from getting painted, I couldn't get any more pictures. But, we had fun!:)

Presley in trouble....

Presley has been getting in trouble lately. She seems to be a little hard-headed & stubborn, so she ignores all warnings....and she's started hitting. So, often I have to put her in her crib for a little time out. You can tell she's very upset about being in trouble: Oh, well...I'll just play with my dolls:

Ok, I'm done with this...get me out NOW!

Just having fun

Ava's doing 'twirls' for the camera. :)

The Rest of March

Well, I told myself I was going to be a better blogger....and I seem to get on a roll for a few days, but then.... I do have an excuse: all 3 kids were sick for about a month! But, we're all well now. So, I'll just do a brief picture recap of March. At the office for the EWC ribbon cutting. Ava & Pres are wearing their newest smocked dresses by Noni. Me & my girls.

Home from church. Smiling for the camera.

Having some alone time....

While Drew & Pres play in the playroom. They had some game going on...though I'm not sure Pres knew what was going on! :)
