Easter 2012

We had a fun Easter with great surprises and lots of fun toys!  I think Daddy and I look forward to her opening and finding everything so we can play with all our cool toys too! :)

We have had a pretty filled year so far, but one important thing we are proud of, is that we joined a church finally!  It has been 6+ years of looking for the right fit and we are so happy with the Lutheran church we became members of!  We have made some amazing life-long friends and look forward to all the memories to come with a church family! :)

This was a beautiful Easter day with plenty of sunshine and fun outside!  We are loving life and beyond thankful for everything God continues to give us and show us throughout this wonderful life as a family! :)

Glow-in-the-dark Easter Egg Hunt

I decided to try something new and fun before Easter this year!  We did a glow-in-the-dark Easter Egg hunt with Ashley and a few of her friends the weekend before Easter!  The girls had a blast looking for the glowing eggs around our backyard and I put kid friendly toys in each egg!  The girls had such a great time they begged the daddy's to re-hide them around the yard for another turn! haha

The girls playing at Ashley's Store! :)

Ash had a purse, phone, wallet, and keys ready for each girl!  It was too cute! :)

The girls waiting for Daddy's to tell them they can go "hunting"

Buckets and ready to go

My camera flash is making it bright out, but it is 8pm and night time!  

The eggs were "glowing" so bright, but it was hard to capture that with my camera!  

This is so cool mommy! :)

They had so much fun!

So anxious and excited to open all their eggs! :) 

One of their surprises in their eggs!  I rolled up blow-up microphones!  :)

E&D Visit

We had a great visit with Erica and Darryl and our other "brother" Jensen!  They were in town for Spring Training fun!  No matter how quick our visits, it always feels like we were together yesterday and we've had no time apart!   We love eating and spending time with family! :) 

Mommy, Daddy, Ashley, Aunt E, and Uncle D

Ash playing in Jensen's unbelievable Mercedes!  He was revving it and it was really loud! :) hahah
She kept telling him he had a "sharp car"
