Dru's birthday party

Dru turned 10 a month ago but have not had a weekend open to celebrate with her friends.

So, almost a month later we finally had a swimming party.

Dru has the sweetest friends.

They are kind, fun, happy, darling and so silly.

Pics before dinner and then off to go swimming!

 They had such a great time swimming!

After swimming we came back for dessert.  

Dru requested brownie trifle and rice krispie treats.

Dru invited Aunt Kim to come to her party.

They are such great friends and want to hangout all the time.

Dru did a book report on Walt Disney.  

I had to take a picture because she worked so hard on this assignment.  Walt and Dru would have made quite a creative team.

Dru made Mickey Mouse cupcakes all by herself for 28 of her classmates and teacher.  She even made one for the computer teacher who loves Disney.  How thought was that?

Rain

It rained ALL DAY yesterday.

Rylie wanted to go outside to play in the rain...

Then Owen begged to go outside...

Then Liv wanted to join in the fun.

Easter

Saturday night we decorated our Easter eggs.  The kids love this and secretly Ryan and I do too.  The girls are so creative and take their time.  This whole process can take hours.

We loved every minute of it.

(Rylie apparently did not)

Liv got a little carried away.

Easter basket fun

We had a little photo shoot before church.

The girls were in happy moods so I went a little overboard.

Gma Martin took Dru shopping for her bday and bought her this darling dress and sweater.

(along with some other fabulous clothes)

Dru LOVED it!

Thank you so much!!!

 This last picture is actually my favorite.

I love all my little goofy kids!

Sunshine

Our good friends brought their California sunshine when they came to visit.

It was so good to spend some time with the Fairbanks family.

We love them and their darling kids.

They are the type of friends that don't require anything but brownies and good conversation.

We spent most of our time eating and spending time at the park playing and talking.

Check out their adorable 1 year old babies.

Spring Break

Spring break for us was sweet and simple.

The weather was pretty decent so we went to the park a few times.

We rode our bikes a lot.

We saw the new cool movie The Croods and loved it. 

We hung out with our awesome Aunt Kim.

We fed our neighbor's bunny while they were out of town. 

We played at Gma's house.

We did a little egg experiment.

It was actually fun to just chill out and be together.  

I was sad when the girls had to go back to school.

I was in charge to making a BUNCH of tissue flowers for a YW activity.

My mom and sisters saved the day.  We were able to get most of them done at the park.

Thank you!
