Easter 2012 (Part Two)

Here is the rest of Easter Sunday.  We all had a wonderful time with family celebrating our Risen Savior!

Love how Avery is holding Amelia's chin up...funny girl.  Carson looked so precious.  

Sweet cousins.  They just adore each other.  

Me and my honey...we never have a picture alone anymore.  

Our little family

My family and sister's family

Hunting for Easter eggs at MaZ and Pops - third hunt in 24 hours.  

She was really getting a hang of it by now.  

On to GiGi and PaPa's house..had to get use of this precious outfit. 

Amelia loved this rubber bunny.  

Bunny girl!

Sweet face just lounging outside.  

Watching PaPa hide the Easter eggs - 4th hunt. :)  

Amelia is a pro by now.  

So cute and had so much fun!

Easter 2012 (Part 1)

Well, we have been pretty busy this last month with one of my best friend's wedding and family stuff.  Just lots of fun, but I haven't had much time to update the blog.  You should see my laundry basket right now.  Always on a hunt to make my life more organized, but it seems that I have "shiny ball syndrome" as my husband calls it.  Here's to a new May and being more organized.  Tomorrow is Avery's 3rd Birthday!  So hard to believe she will be three tomorrow. 

Amelia is growing up so fast.  She says versions of "more, hi, bye-bye, uh-oh, Hagee (Hagen our dog), Mama, and Dada."  She thinks she can do anything Avery can.  She loves the water and can't wait to start swimming in the pool more.

Amelia  loved the Easter bunny.  Avery is still scared of him. 

She kept going up to him after we would take her away.  So cute!

Could you just eat her?  My mother-in-law got these precious outfits for the girls.  

Seriously hunting some Easter eggs.  

Amelia wanted to take them out rather than put them in the bag.  

 Josh loves cracking those Cascarones on the girls' heads. 

Cowboy Carson on the Easter Bunny horse.

 Dying Easter eggs later in the day.  Avery had a blast and Amelia just kept trying to pull the newspaper off the table. 

Easter morning checking out their baskets.  

Hugging sisters about to hunt some Easter eggs.  

Amelia was only interested in the Peeps!

More to come...

Butterflies and Bluebonnets

We had a great weekend and decided to top it off by attempting going to the Zoo on Sunday at 3PM...well, the Zoo was a ZOO!  No parking anywhere.  We drove around forever and decided it wasn't going to happen until we found a back road and parked far away and walked through Herman Park Golf Course.  We ended up going to the Butterfly Exhibit at the Natural Science Museum.  It was very cool! 

Trying to take a few pictures of the butterflies...they were everywhere. 

 

 Josh and his girls! 

The butterflies perched on a plate on fruit.  

Me with the girls.  I look a bit tired, but I think it was just a bit steamy in there.  

The next day we decided to get some pictures of the girls in the bluebonnets.  

 

What a big girl!  Amelia - 15 months.  

Avery will be three in May.  

Amelia sat so perfect while Josh took Avery to potty.  (Note to self...always ask an almost three year old if they need to potty before you leave the house). 

Avery's back and Amelia is definitely loving her fingers.  

 
Avery attempting to pick a bluebonnet.  We stopped her before she could pull it.  

My sweet girl!  Where did these last 15 months go??

Here and there

So behind on my postings...here are a few pictures in February around Valentine's Day.  The girls got a goodie basket, and their favorite things were the crowns and wands (from the Dollar Tree)!
