Palm Sunday

On Palm Sunday we always go to church and then go to my parents' afterward for the kids to find their easter baskets. We of course get pictures of all the kids together!

Then my two cutie pies.

My parents had company this weekend, our long-time family friends Robin and Jim, so they were nice enough to take a few pictures for us.

The kids were of course excited to find their Easter baskets!

Wow, look at all that loot!

Robin was playing with Jackson, he takes a little while to warm up to new people, but then he loves playing with them.

We always get silly string in the Easter baskets- one of their favorite activities (and mine too! :))

Woops, I got some in his mouth.

This was the best picture I could get of my family.

We recently painted some flower pictures with celery-the kids had a lot of fun and it started out pretty clean which I loved.

It didn't end that way.

Easter Activities

We went to our local egg hunt before Easter and the boys had a blast! Cooper met the Easter bunny-Jackson was not a fan.

They split the kids by ages so I walked with Jackson so I didn't get a picture of Cooper doing the hunt.

And he's off!

Look mom, an egg!

They also had some fun games and a bounce house. Here the boys are watching a puppet show!

Cooper's school also had an Easter party. I'm one of the room moms so we were in charge of planning the party. They first had an egg hunt...

then we did a group picture of the class. (I cut a few kids off, oops!)

Then we had a few activities planned...they put on bunny ears and had to hop and find easter eggs...

then they did an egg spoon race.

They then decorated cupcakes.

Last, we had some extra time so we played "hot eggs" (instead of hot potato).This was just the start of our Easter activities!

Spring Fun, and a Milestone for Jackson!

What cute Green Lantern boys! (at least I think that's who they are :)


It's been gorgeous here so we've been trying to get to the park before it becomes 100!I thought this tree was so fun to take pictures on.

Look how brave Cooper is!

I'm pretty brave too mom!

My sweet boy.

My other sweet boy!

They were both being sweet to Lily so I had to take a picture!

Jackson is officially in a big boy bed! We still have his crib up because we weren't sure if it was going to be a permanent switch. It was kind of an impulse decision. The same day I decided we weren't going to continue to potty train, I decided to take his mattress out of the crib and put it on the floor. He did great with it! After a few great days he started getting out of bed so we had to do a reward system. But he's now back on track! Our problem is now that he keeps falling out of bed and hasn't learned not to roll out. Cooper learned pretty quickly.

Here he is the first day in his big boy bed...love all the animals with him!

We put him in a toddler bed thinking it would teach him not to fall out, but as you can see in the picture, it didn't help! I've been getting up a few times every night when he falls out and wakes up! So today I got a rail to attach to the bed, we'll see if it works! I just had to add this picture, can you believe how he's sleeping on the wood floor so far away from his bed and didn't wake up?!? Crazy!

Cooper's been playing soccer and has been having fun! He's made a few goals, here he is right after he made one. He was SO proud!

Hope everyone has been having a great spring!

Bluebonnets!

The bluebonnets are starting to go away here but a few weeks ago we were able to go out and take some pictures in them. The boys were troopers and took a bunch for me! :)

I couldn't get Ryan to pose but I at least got 2 of my boys! :)
