All Aboard!

Love, love, love my little boy and little girl!

Today Johnboy put on his conductor hat and said, "Momma!  All aboard the Polar Express!!!"

Now sissy keeps saying, "Choo Choo!  Ah a bow!"

Perfect Mother's Day!

Today was perfect!  I got to sleep in until 8:30am, went on a family jog, swam and played in the backyard for two hours and had both our parents over for a Mother's Day and Papa's Birthday BBQ.

For some reason Hopie has banned shirts:) 

John swam (in the real pool) with his cousin Ashley for two hours.  It was super chilly...hence the blue lips.

Cupcake frosting moisturizer?

Little girl ate the frosting off two cupcakes and then ran in circles (literally) for thirty minutes on a sugar high!

Summertime!

As much as I LOVE Christmas time.....I think I might just love summertime a tiny bit more!

Swimming all day and night, BBQ's and watermelon and afternoons at the fountains with our BFF's.....what could be better?

Mommy's Helper!

Hopie LOVES the mini grocery carts at Trader Joe's!

Easter

We had a wonderful Easter....woke up to baskets and an egg hunt, went to church with both sets of Grandparents, followed by lunch at my parents and another egg hunt!

My pretty little girl.  She loved her Easter bonnet.

Hopie and Papa

Grams with two out of three of her grand babies!

My handsome man

Mommy with her favorite little man

Papa wearing John's tie!!!!!

Grammy egg hunting with one of her eleven grand babies!

We had M&M's EVERYWHERE. 

 I guess that's what happens when the Easter Bunny brings you candy dispensers:)

Egg hunting and candy eating is tiring!

Note To Self

Do not buy brown organic eggs for your kids to dye the night before Easter.......brown eggs don't color:) Thank God my kids love stickers.  And thank God for Grams who brought over WHITE eggs for them to dye a few days after Easter!

Seriously, what was I thinking?

Easter Morning

Easter morning was filled with lots of smiles and LOTS of chocolate!
