Easter Time...He Has Risen

Easter, one of my favorite holidays...He has Risen!!!! We spent the morning in the park with our church. I was so excited to see my bestie Tally and her family there, so we enjoyed a great message on the grass with our families. Of course my parents hosted an egg hunt at their house which was a great time. The best part of this Easter was being able to have Caroline, Malcolm and the kids over with us. After eating loads (as Rosie would say) of sweets and food, we headed to my Mother in Love's house for a wonderful dinner to stuff our faces even more and boy was is delicious, Sandie never disappoints! It was a perfect Easter, and we hope there will be more Easter's spent with their family.

4th of July

Happy 4th of July! Our day started with red white and blue flag pancakes and the kids loved them! We headed to Aunt Debbie's house today for a fun day with the family, chatting, eating, swimming and just relaxing. We made it home just in time to see the fireworks at the Woodbridge Lake. The kids LOVE fireworks, even though Ethan was a bit tired and was just about to have a sleep deprived melt down but it was saved by the light show! It was a perfect day and evening. Summer has now officially begun in my eyes!

So this picture of our toilet papered house makes me laugh! What is so funny about this is that we had NO clue our house was toilet papered until my niece showed me these pictures! The nice maintenance crew in our neighborhood must have cleaned it up before we stepped out of our house in the morning...thank you! Thanks to my sister, Aunts and niece who have an annual toilet papering night on July 3rd, my house and my parents house were the lucky ones! Well they can do my house anytime, I am sure we wouldn't even know!

Hope you all had a great 4th of July! Happy Summertime!

Easter

Easter, one of my favorite holidays! I have always loved this holiday and now that my kids are old enough to understand the true meaning of Easter it makes it that much more special. Jesus died on the cross for us and He is Alive and this is why I love this holiday so much. This year our church had it at the park, outside in the sun and it was an amazing service! It reminded me of when I was little because Easter service was ALWAYS outside at the church we went to when I was a child. So this brought back such great memories and I was so happy that my children also get to experience the service while sitting with us. After service we headed to my parents house with the rest of the family, ate lunch, had an egg hunt, chatted, laughed and most of all had a great time just being with family. Happy Easter!

Taelor and Hailey....such a great surprise to see the Piot's on Easter!

My mom always has a candy bar for the kids! 

St. Patrick's Day

Oh we had a fun "green" day this year. Of course the leprechauns came and turned everything green! The kids loved it! We spent the morning with Makenna and Colton eating green eggs and ham and green waffles. It was a fun day celebrating St. Patrick's Day. Today would have been my Grandma Jennie's 90th birthday, I miss her everyday, especially on her birthday.

Happy St. Patty's Day!
