April

We had a fun Earth Day! We picked up two bags of trash from our neighborhood, reused an egg crate for bird seed, planted a sprouting coconut, and of course did some painting.



(Here is what is looks like today - 6/9/15)



The girls still love building with Duplos.

We had two unexpected visits from family in April! One from Dad and Kim. Andrew was out of town and our water meter was leaking and I was panicking a bit. Dad and Kim came to my rescue! Dad helped me work with the plumber and Kim helped by playing with the girls! They helped me make lemonade out of lemons (or however that saying goes!). Thank you Dad and Kim!


The second visit was with Tiffany and Rob! Tiffany had to come down to take pictures of a project in Fort Lauderdale for work and so they came early to see us! It was also Rob's birthday! We went to Flamingo Gardens and swimming.




 It's getting hot and the iguanas love it.

We had fun going to story time at the library.

Happy Easter, 2015.

We had a lovely Easter with family.

Hoppy Poppy's Easter Egg hunt was awesome! The kids loved it! I loved watching them RUN!






  Checking out her eggs! Grammy and Poppy stuffed these eggs very well! Where's my five dollar egg?!


Eat your heart out, Bradly. You have no teeth left to rot!

 All the egg hunting made her hungry!


Ed's beautiful Easter bread!

 Our carrot muffins made with all real ingredients! AKA, eat as many as you'd like, right?




 Tried hard to get these girls to take a girl cousin picture like last year...maybe we will do better next year!

In order to get the stickers to stick, Grammy brought out her hair dryer.

Addison LOVES this activity. Thank you, Uncle Scotty for helping her!

 I love my tiny Audrey.

 Parker and Colin getting creative!

 Grammy's girls.

Her special eggs. My favorite, the green egg with a whole packet of glitter on it.

Check out his elbow scar!

 I love Addison's "I Love You"

 He looks good in mauve : )

Love watching these dogs play!

Really need to leave a bathing suit at Grammys!

Brother time!

 Addison loves her big cousins!

 The egg hunters.

Today is April 10th. For me that means I have 30 more days until I turn 30. Not sure how I feel about that!
