EASTER 2011

Decorating eggs on Easter Eve

Abbie would of rather sat in a bin and rub on all of her binkies...which is a whole other post...until she saw how much fun her sisters were having...

Then she decided to give it a try

This picture reminds me of a game of Twister...look at all those arms! :)

Mommy got to sneak down and take this picture right after the Easter Bunny hopped out our front door...

Since the girls don't really get any toys other than on their birthdays or Christmas the Easter Bunny always leaves them an outdoor door on Easter...

Easter Morning...look at Abbie peering downstairs at her baskets! Soo cute! :)

Hunting for eggs...

Ella was as happy as a clam when she saw the Easter Bunny had left her lipgloss! :)

We let Levi sleep in a little on Easter morning...I love this pic..look at his sleepy eyes...

Levi's First Easter...

Look at how happy Levi was to find puffs in his basket!

Here he is making sure they were the right flavor...

This is the best I got of the 4 little kiddos...not bad! :)

EAster Egg Hunt (in the rain)...

Kenzie finding an egg in the stump...I should have hid a couple of eggs in her curls!  Look at all that hair~ soo cute! :)

Coming inside to see what was inside their eggs...

By mid afternoon the toddlers had enough...Kenzie and Abbie both crashed...

Levi and his BFF (and cousin) Brayden...

Grandma Moebs saying good-bye to Levi...

We had a wonderful Easter and although we enjoyed all of "stuff" that we associate with Easter...the candy, eggs, gifts..our only TRUE joy comes from our Lord Jesus Christ and for the fact that on Resurrection Sunday he conquered the grave...and lives today!

10 Months...

Happy 10 months to my little man!  Oh how I love this sweet baby!  This month can only be summarized as busy!  This little man has been on the move...so needless to say the photoshoots are becoming much more difficult~

LOVE his face on this last pic...I think he enjoys the stress he gives his momma during these monthly photo shoots... :)

Spring Break 2011...Maine

Once again we tagged along with Daddy on a business trip during our week off and headed up North.  I wasn't sure if I was up to it this year since traveling with 4 kiddos (1 being a baby) is no easy task and I didn't know if it would be worth the hassle but low and behold we had a great time and everyone did great (yes "great" is very subjective I know...I am sure some onlookers would not of classified Abbie's behavior as "great" as she was experiencing a full blown meltdown in the middle of a store...but that's neither here or there).  We were able to play on the beach (bundled of course), swim in the hotel pool (which we had to ourselves...good thing because a family of 6 kind of takes up a large portion of the pool!), jump on the beds, eat lobster (yummm!) and of course enjoy time as a family (my favorite part!).  Here are some pics from our fun little trip! 

Jumping on the bed to kill time until Daddy gets back from his meeting

Levi enjoying the show from the front row...

My little Abbie just being cute...

Pool time...
Levi is not having it...

Unless he's in Daddy's arms!

Daddy snapped this pic...while I was nursing Levi they all lined up to watch t.v.

Our annual trip to the lighthouse...

Sophie was all about getting her picture taken this day! :)

Then off the beach...

Sophie found this snail that she decided to keep as a pet...Hoping this did not break some sort of DOC code...if it did I am sorry!

Playing tag...

and then back to the pool for another round of swimming ...

We had a great little vacay!  LOVE my family!

oh my...

I could just eat him up with a spoon!
