Easter 2011

Our boys are at great ages for really beginning to understand the significance of Easter. I am challenged daily by the theological conversations we have and by the questions they ask. 

How did they get this big!

We used crayons to decorate the eggs before dying them.

Handsome fellas!

We went to an Easter egg hunt in our community

and had one at home.

Our handsome boys on Easter Sunday! I love a little boy in a tie...so cute!

The Spencers were kind enough to snap this picture of our family after the Easter Sunday service.

We had my parents over for Easter lunch and used our new dining room table and china for the first time!

We love you, Gran and Papa D!

The boys enjoyed their Easter baskets from the Easter bunny too!

Spring Time Family Fun

We've been enjoying the spring weather at the Heritage Folk Festival.

Wearing shades...

pacifying mom by posing for pictures...

and petting a baby alligator. Oh the joys (and terrors) of being a boy mom!

We also got to enjoy some family fun cheering on our Astros at Opening Day at Minute Maid Park!

We also celebrated with Cousin Austin for his birthday!

And Uncle Jeff got some Liam lovin' in!

We've had a fun start to Spring!

School Rocks!

Angel's first grade teacher is so sweet and works hard to make learning fun. In the spring, Mrs. E hosted a reading restaurant called the Pancake Palace. Each student donning a chef hat picked their parents up at the door of the classroom and took them to their table to this set up complete with a menu.

Chef Angel read all the books on the menu to us in this sweet get up. Be still my heart!

The school also hosts an annual fun event for the whole school called, Funky Friday. This was our second year and this year's theme was "school rocks!" Angel shared his shirt from last year with Jonathan, so they could both wear a Funky Friday shirt to the event. They got their hair painted.

And jumped until their hearts were content!

This boy was born to bounce!
