Happy Easter - Part 2

Okay, blogger just put all my pictures in random order but here it goes...

The kids got Easter baskets and had a little Easter egg hunt in the backyard this morning.

 They found all of the eggs!

 We dyed Easter eggs this afternoon.  The kids did a great job.

 Noah got a couple of new trucks in his basket. The trucks and the block city that Michael built with him kept him busy all day.

 Katelyn was very kind and let Noah have a head start so he could find some eggs also.

 "Hmmm...how do I get that out of there?"

 More playing.

 Michael and Katelyn worked on growing crystals this afternoon.  Quality time with daddy doing a science project.  Katelyn was in heaven.

He did get it out of the little bush..in case you were wondering/

Happy Easter!

We had a super fun time today at the church's petting zoo and Easter egg hunt and then stayed for the Easter service.  

It was such a beautiful day and the kids were all so excited. 

 Noah was a good little egg hunter this year.

 Katelyn is of course a pro and was serious about finding some eggs.

 I love this sweet girl.

 These two are the best!

 Once the eggs were found Noah only cared about finding out what was in them.

Here's a pic of our growing little family.  

Happy Easter everyone!

He is risen!!!

Spring finally showed up!

It's spring!!!  It's spring!!! Finally!!!!!!

 I realized that with this pregnancy there hadn't been a single belly picture.  I guess it's true that with each child there's less and less time to commemorate.  Whoops.  Anyway, this is week 27, the beginning of the third trimester.  

 Noah loves his little cars and plays with them every day.

 Katelyn picking "flowers" (weeds) in the backyard.  I did teach her how to actually weed by pulling them up by the roots and she was a good helper the other day.  Weeding the garden is just not so comfortable for me at this point.

 Oh this little boy.  He's a handful and such a joy all at the same time.

 Katelyn loves this time of year.  She wants to be outside all day.  It's nice because the kids are both old enough to play outside without me having to be out there all the time.  I can watch through the window while making lunch or dinner and they are happy to entertain themselves.

 We have had some BEAUTIFUL days in the last week or so.  This is the perfect time of year to be in Kentucky.

 Katelyn found a four leaf clover.  It's the second one she's found in the last couple of weeks. She searches hard for them.

 We did get one of the garden beds weeded and got broccoli and cabbage planted.  It was a family project and everyone helped.  Noah likes to water and he hasn't pulled up any of the plants yet, so that's helpful.  :)

 Yesterday morning Katelyn and I had a mommy/daughter date and went to see Disney on Ice.  It was super fun to just get some one on one time with my big girl and she loved the show.  She got to pick out a treat (Twizzlers) and she picked out her fanciest dress to wear.

 We stopped at McDonald's on the way home and got ice cream cones today.  It was a beautiful day to sit out on the back patio with a treat.

 Have I mentioned lately that Michael is the best daddy??

Noah started eating his cone from the bottom up.  This is where it got messy.

Tomorrow is the anniversary of the day I first met Katelyn.  Her "gotcha" day.  I can't believe it's been six years.  Where has the time gone.  We went out for Chinese food tonight.  It's such a blessing to get to celebrate her and the family that God has given us!!!
