Happy Easter!

With a hidden camera I managed to take this shot only seconds after the bunny left this loot!!!


The kids woke me up with their glee about the stuff at 230 am!! Gah! They were so excited they didn't go back to sleep despite my threats, cajoling and scolding until 430 am. They woke again at 615! Moms tired!!


When Emmy woke up the kids were giddy to use their moving, singing stuffed animals.


The kids got a stuffed animal each. Also a singing one. Tess just got a tiny stuffed hello kitty and a peeping chick.


The big kids got chalk eggs, one toy each, angry birds kites and one big thing each. Emmy got little pet shop teensies. Dora got a play doh kit. Eli got an ant farm. Plus they got a chocolate bunny and peeps. We tried to limit the candy this year tho.








Poor Emmy got stung by a bee while playing outside! Tessa was happy and cute. Dad wasn't here because he works nights so he slept all morning.

We did have a little lesson about Jesus and Easter. Hope you all have. Joy filled Easter in which we honor the sacrifice and example of our Savior!!

We got clinseys old patio furniture for our second patio and ate outside a lot.





We decorated for Easter, trimmed bushes and trees. We also got mulch.


Whit took Eli Dora and Tess for the night and I kept Emmy and wrote. I finished my fourth novel.

Emmy played with the neighbors cat.


Had a solo bath! Cutie!


She thinks shed be a good only child.


My grandma jean died. In looking at old photos I realized I look a lot like Emmy!


Kanga was around too. She loves the guest room.


Emmy broke her leg! Poor baby all splinted.


We had to work hard to occupy her and keep her from trying to walk. Poor thing. So sad.


Eli called this the "hello kitty with an owie". Yes we are all about cultural diversity over here.


Whit sent me with Erin Shepard to Sam Antonio for a Friday night and Saturday!! We shopped. (Got dresses for our girls and jeans for whit) and ate dinner. And ate breakfast and watched movies. And more movies. Ooh la la.


This guy hit on me when we stopped for gas. I was tempted. Sorely tempted. He has a snake tattoo, after all. Hot!!


Dora and I worked out.


We got chicks!! So cute. So tiny!!


The kids were all so excited!!


Dora and I made caramels. Pecan and salted. Yum!!


The girls shared the iPad. Eli loves it too!!


Emmy got pretty good with her pink cast!! Walking and climbing like a pro.


Emmy got so tired she fell asleep at church.


We went and got Emmys cast off. She was a trooper. And she popped down and started walking immediately!!








We got donuts to celebrate.


Tessa smiles all. The. Time. Love this 4 month old. She's 4 months to the day here.





Eli started laughing and saying ewww. Said "mom you have to see this. It's so gross." It was this photo. He says "that baby is asleep NAKED!"


We left Tessa with my mom on Good Friday and went to the beach with uncle Brian and miss rachael. Galveston is fun!!


We also went to froberg farms to pick strawberries with grandma Carla and I made jam!!


Here's Eli on the way home from the beach. We stopped for taco cabana.


Emmy conked on the way home.


Here's a shot from the beach.


On Clint's birthday we went to a nice place in fulshear. Rays. You can tell I'm burned. Oh well!


Love my hubby!!
