Spring has sprung!

We are thrilled to have a new toy, thanks to sharon and greg. we love the walker...lots to do and explore...can't believe owen is big enough for this! but he loves it and really moves around already!

If you can't read his bodysuit, it says "that's it, I'm off to grandma's!" ha ha ha. so cute. from memaw.

Look at those legs in motion!

Enjoying our gorgeous backyard and all the azeleas! we have pink, hot pink and white..plus some irises and a few others that i'm not sure of...maybe camelias?? anyway, we love our time in the backyard and on the deck...it's one of the best things about our home. even owen got in the action...

Olivia, the poser...next to our great new swing, given to us by our friends Stacy and Ty!!

Oh, he's so content..."just carry me around and feed me", that's his motto...

Rachel in her leotard...and flip flops, OF COURSE!

Checking out the irises...again, striking a pose.

big girl and chunky boy...

just look at those cheeks!!!!

hmmmm. it's hard to tell which one is five yrs old and which is the baby! they are about the same size! ha ha ha.

Easter

Rachel enjoying her dyed eggs...

Owen in his sweet little outfit. and a big scratch on his forehead...from his own fingernail...

Loves to chew on his fingers!

Olivia, helped set the table...and yes, we used paper plates! HA HA

Finally, a pic of the whole family together.

a view from the back...rachel's favorite part of her dress! Sweet girls...sweet dresses...

We had such a good day...and enjoyed the whole weekend....easter egg hunting with friends, eating our baskets of goodies...church...lunch...decorating eggs..more hunting...and now more chocolate!

Olivia posing in her pretty dress, hat and pink bag. i was so proud she was dressed like such a sweet little girl.

owen's shiny head with the neosporin on it..ha ha...all their eyes open and smiling at one time! wow. it's a wonder it happened!

bed head hair can't keep them away from the chocolate...even at 6AM!!

Sweet little chunky cuddler!

All the crew...evaluating their loot! and owen checking out all the girls from his perch! he enjoyed himself.

O trying to eat his breathing treatment mask!

another lost tooth!! and other pics...

well, this was the first tooth that Olivia pulled all alone..it's usually a team effort with Daddy, but this one she just walked into the bathroom, grabbed a bath cloth and popped it out! man, she's getting so big!!!! and of course, rachel grabs her mouth and says, "I don't want to lose mine"....ha ha ha

The Good Life

Just another day in our paradise.....our big little baby...don't you want to just pinch those cheeks and kiss that head?? he's just as sweet as he looks too!!!
