The bunny did show up

…a long time ago.

We are having too much fun lately and getting so far behind on our blog.  We colored eggs this year after I double protected the island from the dye and triple checked it after that.  I’m not sure if I had more fun or the babies. 

The Easter bunny showed up with baskets full of goodies, too much candy, and even more that he told me to keep hidden for the rainy days he must have known were headed our way. 

There is so much to catch up on so please start bugging Brandon for one of his infamous posts.  In the meantime enjoy the photos.

I was so proud of my chaotic organization before the little ones and Brandon came into the room.

Egg coloring fun

Logan getting in on the action.

I got this daddy.

Momma teaching Madison what to do.

I think there is a drop on me!!! NOOOOO!

Easter Bunny leaves the goodies. (Note to bunny: get bigger baskets(

Can YOU find the eggs?

She loves the camera.

Which to eat first?  Decisions, decisions…

One good looking boy.

Logan digging in…chalk or candy, bring on the chocolate

The girls LOVE these glasses and wear them out.  Madison has already broken both blue pair.

This is as true as it gets of every day life.

Logan the Great Egg Hunter

All morning we heard “I found egg”

Love this concentration face, just precious.

Taken with my phone however I love that you can see Madison won, Elizabeth just gave in.

One of the most beautiful bunnies.

Outside with Daddy using the picnic table I (Amy-Jo) grew up with.  My Dad refinished this for our children, so special.

Let’s color the paper Logan not our teeth.

The best part of the day is after dinner, the girls chant for…

YOGURT!!!!!!

Here are the phases of Madison eating her yogurt, spoon uh oh all gone…

maybe if I just start licking the bowl and clean Elmo…

got it, how’s that Mama?

Elizabeth making sure she doesn’t get too dirty and at the same time not leaving a drop behind.

Gotcha, I knew you were hiding down there!

Logan after Daddy finished, just whisper the word yogurt in his ear and he gets so excited.

Love to all ~ Amy-Jo

Pool Time in April, New Phone for Mama

Before the nasty weather hit in April we had our small pool up enjoying the beautiful weather.  I even was brave and took the kids in it by myself, something I thought I would not do for years.  We found the perfect pool for our yard and to fit Logan’s bath chair, the girls, as well as Brandon and myself.  All three kids love being in the water so let’s pray the weather starts cooperating soon so we can get back out there.

The bad part of this day, April 18th, is as I was throwing anything I could find for the girls to play with in the pool I somehow picked up my phone and threw it in as well!!!  I wish I could have seen myself react to hearing the phone hit the water.  I felt my heart drop to the ground and I swear I never moved so quickly in my life.  I tried for a day and a half to revive my poor helpless phone with no success and was very lucky to have Brandon’s plan be up for a renewal so I could get a new iPhone.  I need to say one more time – THANK YOU so very much Brandon.  I still feel so bad for not thinking or realizing what was going on. 

Now that I have that off my chest here are the photos from the pool day, not the greatest pictures, but still proof we were in the water.

Madison getting used to the water

Logan so happy to have his bath chair in the water

I’m thinking the girls enjoyed the pool A LOT

Go Logan Go…

The girls were terrifying me with trying to swim under the water, not so funny to Mama.

Here I go again Mommy….weeeeee

Lots of love  ~ Amy-Jo

Return of the Blog Slacker

It was almost three months ago that our little ones turned TWO so we decided it was time for that final birthday post.  Since we did not do a party this year our wonderful neighbors came over to help us celebrate on Sunday with an ice cream cake and to open presents. 

Uncle Jon and Aunt Debie with Logan and The Blue

We had to have Elmo balloons, they were not afraid this year.

If you look closely you can see Logan and Elizabeth contemplating their take over.

Logan kisses are the BEST!

Mama and my mini me

Debie and I, miss you and love you!

Our big girl Madi Belle, she loved her ice cream cake

Logan was in heaven, YUMMM

Loving those baby blues

Lizy Bear making sure it’s not going to jump out at her

Just a second Mama, one more bite…

Logan – DONE, Lizy – is not such a big fan of the ice cream cake

I got this Mama

ELMO!!!

Finally they were allowed to open gifts

Every gift and card received this much concentration, so sweet

Logan loving his manly truck

Elmo phones that say their names, not sure if this was smart of us or not…still debating three months later

Uncle Jon hiding Elmo otherwise the day was over

The girls love to open clothes and toys of course :)

Reading our cards

Pretty sure the girls read their cards for and hour, I make a big deal about cards and read each one to them.  It does help they had a few that sang and made noise.

Even Uncle Jon loves Elmo…

Another gift from Oma and Opa that is now outside

I already have another post in the works so plan on it soon.

Lots of love ~ Amy-Jo
