Easter Turtle

I know I need to get it together with posting... our blog is ridiculously slow moving right now.  I have SO many cute pictures and updates to share with you all too.  I will try to get them all up before Little Jack arrives (which is SOON, we are counting days now.  Yay!!!)

Okay, so let me share our EASTER highlights with you...

Tom was NOT a fan of the adorable wonderland looking Easter Bunny this year.  Tom just sat on my lap and looked very suspicously at him during the pictures.  haha Memories!

afterwards we went to dye eggs at Miss Lori's house.  Tom was interested for about 

 2 eggs worth and then wanted to climb on the table and wreak havoc.

Ok, time to get it out.

The yellow wasn't as dark as we hoped so we finger painted it a bit and dressed it up with a sticker.

Play time on the mat.

Bailey trying to show Tom some affection.  She is SO sweet and always gives the other kids hugs and kisses.

Brody taking it easy in the rocker.

I love that sweet face!

Bailey feeding Tom crackers.  She is so attentive!

He had a blast!!!

Easter morning...

finding a treasure of Easter treats.

He got some new cars, an Eastery plate and cup (which he later ate his Easter dinner on, by himself) and of course a few sweets.

I love my little boy!

I hid some eggs in the yard for him to hunt.  He wasn't all that into it this year, but he did find a few of them.

He found one!

He looked adorable carting his basket around the yard!

Mommy Group Easter Party!

Everyone mingling while the kids play.

Of course there was an egg hunt :)

I found one!

So cute!

What?! These have crackers in them!

Sampling and hunting.

The thrill of the hunt was sweetened with bubbles!

Micheal, our adorable party host!

and his mommy, Emily.

Back inside... this bike was the favorite toy of the day.

Tom, emptying the diaper bag.

Micheal not sure about the bunny ears.

Ryker on the other hand thought they were very comfortable.

Tali having a turn on the bike... she is SO my favorite little girl in the group.  She is so sweet and girly but she is tough too and can rumble with all the crazy boys.

Time for a souvenir picture... just uh, hold still...

and nope, he's off!

Tali, also making a run for it.

Brody was slightly more reasonable.

Micheal SO photogenic... Emily said they practiced posing all morning.

And then you have kids like Ryker... haha! So cute!
