Pre Easter Celebrations

So, what's Easter without a couple of Easter egg hunts? These hunts are getting more elaborate every year. My how times have changed:) First we went to Grammy Judy's church the week before Easter and then we went to our church's Easter Celebration the day before Easter. Oh yah, there were also some beautiful bluebonnets...

Bailey's good at posing

Do they smell?

These were an extra special treat from Daddy Jeff

RahRahs

I have the bestest group of life-long friends that are so precious to me. We've been friends for so long there's too many years to even count anymore. Every year we take the time to get away for a weekend with no kids or husbands. And with 6 husbands and 8 children between us, that is quite an accomplishment. This year we just went to the big town of Murphy, TX and hung out at Sara's house. The past 2 years have been pretty low-key, but we have already started planning a bigger, better trip for next spring. Can't wait. Oh the name, Rah Rahs??? We were all cheerleaders together at some point in high school. Although, we sometimes barely see each other besides this one weekend every year, I know these girls are family and will always be there for me, anytime I call. That's what life-long friends are for. I love you girls!

A Little Behind...

Apparently March has come and gone- we had lots of fun. So much so that I never even stopped to blog about it all. Bailey and Riley are starting to have a lot of sister time together. It's really sweet to watch them play outside, and it helps Mommy to have time to cook dinner:)

       Riley will probably be driving before Bailey
      Higher Mommy!
 Look who's learned to jump rope
As much as Riley hits her head every day, she needs a helmet:)

Thanks a lot!

Just a quick shout out to my friend, Lisa Malhiot. She was one of the friends who already had her own great family blog that inspired me to start my own. Now, she has taken the time to show me how to improve my own blog. Don't ya  love my cool new border? Thanks again Lisa!

Somebody's Gettin' To Be A Big Girl...

That Riley Paige is growing like a weed. Walking everywhere, following her big sister all around. She thinks she is at least 5 most days and tends to get frustrated when tasks are not as easy for her as she expects them to be. No patience! She must take after her mother...UGH!

Look What We've Been Doing?

Santa brought Bailey some new "Big girl" puzzles that somehow turned into a family event. Many mornings, Bailey would waken to find more of HER puzzle completed after she went to bed each night. After the first one was finished,  Jeff and I realized that we had to actually stay off the puzzle and let Bailey work it. 

Two Crazy Girls

What can I say? These girls are crazy. Their daddy seems to always bring out the silly side of them...Gee, go figure! Who's fun?

She wants to be big girl so bad. 

Caffeine is the last thing Riley needs in her body.

It's not gonna fit, Riley.

Tickle torture!

There are no words here????

The splits-wow!

Who loves chocolate?

YUMMY!

How do I get out of here?
