Every day is a new adventure, and though this blog won't capture it all at least you might get a glimpse of our crazy life...

Quotes


A baby will make love stronger, days shorter, nights longer, bankroll smaller, home happier, clothes shabbier, the past forgotten, and the future worth living for
Unknown



Babies are a link between angels and man.
Unknown



Children are a handful sometimes, A heartfull all the time.
Unknown



Loving a baby is a circular business, a kind of feedback loop. The more you give the more you get and the more you get the more you feel like giving.
Penelope Leach



While we try to teach our children all about life, Our children teach us what life is all about.
Angela Schwindt



Boy, n.: a noise with dirt on it.
Not your average dictionary



Children are the living messages we send to a time we will not see.
John W. Whitehead


You don't really understand human nature unless you know why a child on a merry-go-round will wave at his parents every time around - and why his parents will always wave back.

Yesterday was a ton of fun! We had an Easter party with a lot of my aunts, cousins and their kids. We had a lot of fun things for the kids to do while we caught up with some family that we haven't seen in a while.


I'm pretty sure the kids loved it! Trying to get them all together for a picture wasn't easy.


Audge was watching Mya and Sophia so they were able to come too, which is good because Peyton wouldn't want it any other way. :)


The wagon was a big hit...


and so was the chalk...


but the best part of all was the egg hunt! There were eggs EVERYWHERE and each kid had an overflowing basket. They were all smiles!


Janeane even stuck a bunch of ginormous suckers into the ground that looked like flowers. Peyton thought they were the best thing ever!


My cousin's little boy, Eli is so adorable...


And so were the rest of the kids! I'm always thinking about how I will look back and remember these days because time is going by so fast. At the party I was visiting with my Aunt and she said that looking at our kids reminded her of my cousins and I as kids running all over my grandparent's house. I thought about the home videos that I've seen in the past where all my aunts and uncles were probably around the same age as we are now and all of us kids running around with our cousins and having a lot of fun. I am so greatful that my family has always been all about family and that they've taught me that family is everything. I'm even more greatful now that I have a family of my own and to be able to teach them these same values.

  1. These pictures bring back such sweet memories to me. Me and my sister's kids used to go see the Easter bunny together and have face painting and take pictures and have all sorts of fun. My kids are older now, and they still love the baskets. hehe Happy Easter to you and your wonderful family. I hope you all have a blessed day.
