Easter 2015



We had some fun activities leading up to Easter. First, Presley had an Egg Hunt at school.



Waiting patiently.



Each kid got to pick up 12 eggs. Presley did just as she was supposed to and counted out 12 eggs as she picked them up. I know it was killing her inside because she is always the kid with the full basket.



The 3 girls of the class. They have been in the same class since they started and we are hoping they are put together their last year!



A class picture!



After the egg hunt, we went to Presley's classroom for her class party.



She ate a snack and did a craft.



After the class party, Presley had an Easter performance!



Our next egg hunt was during our friend Juliana's 2nd Birthday party. We did the same thing last year and the kids love it. This time, Presley could show off her Egg Hunting skills. She was very nice to help sister and brother too! The kids are all lined up ready to go.



Bentley checking out the lip gloss at the princess makeup station.



We also got to go to the Especially Needed Easter Egg Hunt this year!



We tried to just put the kids up by the Easter Bunny for the picture but they weren't having it.



So, Daddie got in the picture with them.



I love Presley in this picture.



We got to see Minnie and Mickey too!



As we were leaving, I realized that I hadn't been in any of the pictures with the kids so I tried to get them to take a picture with me and they were not having it. It was passed nap time...



The Easter Bunny came!!



After the kids looked in their Easter baskets, we got ready and headed south to Marmee and Guy's! When we were waiting on everyone else to come, the kids colored Easter Eggs with Marmee.



The weather on Easter Sunday was so bad. It was cold and rainy. No Easter dresses this time. Luckily we had good weather for all of the other festivities! The rain finally let up and we were able to do a quick Easter Egg hunt.



Bentley had to fit in a tractor ride with Guy before we left.



Look at Guy in his overalls!



And Bentley looked so cute in Marmee's sweatshirt!

Our 8 Year Anniversary

After we got back from Florida, Mom came up to stay with the kids so that Mikey and I could celebrate our anniversary. We went to our favorite restaurant, Neighborhood Services. We tried to take a couple of selfies and then ended up asking our server to take a picture for us.



After dinner, we went home and Mom watched our wedding video with us. It was so much fun reliving it all. This year, we also got out our slide show that Dad made for the rehearsal dinner. It was so fun to look at pictures of us growing up and comparing them to Kiley, Presley and Bentley!

Post Spring Break

Presley being silly one day...



Bentley playing with his new basketball that he got for his birthday.



We met our friends Heath and Erika for dinner one night. They live in a high rise downtown. The view is so pretty!



Presley and I doing some post workout stretching together.



One day, I let Presley take a shower with me while the other two were napping. Since she already had her shower, she got to help with the "kids" baths. She took the role very seriously.



She even took care of them after bath. She had their diaper bag all packed and let them watch a show in their strollers.



Our friends' Stacy and Jeremiah had a gender reveal party. It was our first one to attend. The kids were all lined up ready for the big reveal. They had no idea what was going on. They just wanted the cake!



Stacy couldn't wait until the party, so they already knew the gender. She let her parents cut the cake.



It's a Boy!



Cake, Finally!!



Stacy's Mom took this cute picture of Bentley.



Tricia and I have been friends since we were 5 years old and I love this picture of us and our boys.



The girls and some of the kids.



We met Marmee up at work one Sunday evening to pick up Buddy. We brought her dinner. Presley's hair was full of static from the chair.



Big smiles.



Sitting with Marmee in her office.



Presley's school had a Dogs and Dads night. They ate dinner.



And did some fun activities.



Afterwards, Daddie took Presley for frozen custard. She thought it was the best thing ever! When they got home, they went on a walk, just the two of them. It was a very special date night for them. Presley said it was "the best night ever"!!



Presley was sweet enough to share the rest of her custard with Bentley.



One evening, we were playing outside. We had some appetizers and then we made our own choo choo train.



The kids loved it!



Bentley throws the big temper tantrums where he throws himself on the ground. We decided we were going to start recording them to show his girlfriends one day. This is just a picture.



Mikey had been craving crawfish for a while. He could just sense that it was crawfish season!



Mom invited us to Chefs Showcase again this year and we had so much fun!!



I found these two pictures from Marmee and Guy's house.



We were invited to our friend, Charlotte's birthday party at a pottery place and each of the kids painted their own mugs. It was really fun and they turned out so cute.



We let all 3 kids ride in the truck together one day and they got pretty silly!
