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.

The group minus Diana and Zach.

The group minus Ed.

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

March

Once again, I'm a bit behind. I do have an excuse, our hard drive broke! Luckily we had everything backed up on the external hard drive! Here is an update on what happened in March.

Addison wanted to go ice skating for her birthday present. Grammy was at a conference, but Poppy was here to join us!

She liked it, but we only managed to go around four times!


Sophie and Gunner waited by the front door until Steve came back with Mom! 

 Every weekend while Andrew grills, we play out in the yard. Now that it's so hot, playing outside usually includes water. Here is Audrey sliding through the sprinkler!


My darling bucket head.

We love Flamingo Gardens and want to thank Grandma and Grandpa Barber for the renewed membership! So, this picture was taken seconds before both girls were pooped on from birds above them in the aviary.

 I wish all South Florida ducks were as pretty and nice as these!

 Joined the MOPS group at Plantation Woods splash park.



Addison received this floor puzzle from a friend for her birthday and it's really started a puzzle spark in her! She loves them now! Need to get more floor puzzles!

 Walking around with her teddy while Addison dances in ballet!

Washing their play dishes.

Ahhh, they both have strollers now!

 Morning ritual.

 Good report at her dentist appointment! Stella had one the same week!

Grandma Barber treated us to Disney on Ice!


My favorite part.

Fun with the girls!

After Disney on Ice, we got to stop by the Ritter's house to say "hi". We are excited (and sad) to hear that Austin officially has a ship date for the Army! We know he will do well, as long as he can learn to keep a straight face : )

Then it happened. 

Audrey wanted to potty train. Each time she saw Addison and I going, she wanted to go to. So I went for it. We spent an entire week home and she was naked the whole time!

 She did an amazing job and quickly filled up her stamp chart.

Addison was very encouraging! 

Then at the end of the week, we experimented with thick, training undies. So cute! She still has the occasional accident, but we are getting there! So proud of this stubborn 22 month old!

Cheese! She has 16 teeth now! Only waiting on her 2 year molars now.

 I love my husband! He has been working very hard this month and we cherish our weekends!

Happy girl.

 She was cold and sitting still, so I had to take this picture of her.

 Practicing her somersaults. 

My niece, Madilynn Olivia Barber, turned 2 and had a Frozen party to celebrate!

Anna came to paint faces!

Glad to see Aunt Heidi and Uncle Tommy!

Addison loves her big cousins!


I love Madi as a two year old...stop growing up!

Taking a break to swing.

She wanted to climb the tree.

After the party, we had dinner at the Ritter's! Papa is seriously an amazing cook! One day the girls we learn to appreciate it like Andrew and I do!

We went to the MOPS Easter egg hunt this week and someone brought their pet bunnies! The girls loved it!

Checking out their goodies!

Addison is working hard on her Easter cards!

Received a really sweet surprise from one of our neighbors this morning! She made these baskets by hand and filled them for the girls!

The girls earned their medals in gymnastics today!

Waiting for her dance class to begin she told her teacher, "it's hard to be patient and wait." Yes, it is.
