What's so funny?

Thanks Dad for the awesome pictures!

Springtime Fun

PLEASE BE WARNED....LOTS of PICTURES BELOW!

Everett is just SO MUCH FUN to play with. If you haven't come over to play with him lately, I highly recommend it. The rocking chair you see in the pictures is one from when I was little. If I remember right, it was from my grandfather. I put Everett in it to see what he would do and he liked it! So I handed him his picture book and The Hungry Caterpillar and let him have some fun. He is getting to big! AND, I love how cute is legs and feet are when he is wearing shorts!

Look at my book with me!

I love this story because it's all about eating!

Look at this page....he gets to eat cake!

Hmmm, can I hold on and still open the book?

Smiling for Mommy

So, I fed Everett part of a chicken tamale and black beans for lunch the other day. He (and Dash) were a mess. I found it entirely hilarious and took some pictures. Look at this face!

Mommy, I am eating. Why do you have the camera out?

You're not going to distract me! I've got food here!

Mmm mmmm!

The boys played outside on our deck for a little bit and got hot and thirsty. Here they are drinking water to rehydrate

With the warmer weather, I got to dress Everett in shorts this weekend. He looks so good in this outfit from Auntie Kristen!

Easter Sunday was a wonderful time at church and celebrating our Savior. In the afternoon, we hosted a few people over for a wonderful meal that I was super excited to make. On the menu, we had: deviled eggs, chilled carrot and herb soup, Caesar salad (I even made the dressing!), honey and thyme glazed ham with pineapple sauce, smoked gouda mac and cheese, asparagus, and a pineapple meringue cake for dessert. It was DELICIOUS!

The spread of food

Great friends!

Everett got the bunny ears from his grandmother and Auntie Heather gave him his first Easter basket with lots of fun goodies!

Love this picture! Everybody in pink!

Our first Easter together as a family!

Let's Play OUTSIDE!

Yes, the weather is sunny, warm, and beautiful and we are going to make the most of it! The boys and I get out for a walk and we play on the deck. It is great to be able to soak in the sun and enjoy the great weather. Our neighborhood is full of flowers in bloom and we are all loving it!

We are all ready to go!
(This stroller has been awesome. It was able to fit the infant carrier when Everett was really little, but now the boys both use the seats. The seats can face forward, or they can face each other, or they can go back to back like this! It has been worth every penny to be able to get out a little with Dash and Everett!)

Love the flowers that are around our neighborhood

There are a lot of these trees too

It was a little cool on Tuesday, but we still loved the sun

A couple old sheets on our deck made a perfect spot to play

Checking out the deck

Hmmm....what should I do next?

It was really bright and sunny today!

Everett is laughing at something funny!
