Easter at our house

We had a lot of people over for Easter this year. Grandma and Grandpa were already here. We also invited some of our friends that weren't going to be with family. It turned out to be so fun. I love having holidays with lots of people around. It reminds me of great times in Richmond.

Here are some photos from our day......

Of course we have to have some pictures of our Easter finest! I just love this one of Jordan. It's probably my favorite picture of the day. It's something about the coloring that I love

This one is a close second.

He looks like such a kid, not a little boy. If you look closely you can see one of Jacob's dimples!

We brought out some fun games for the kids to play while the
Easter Bunny hid eggs in our backyard

Jordan thinks there are some eggs in the playhouse

It took a while for Jacob to find his egg. Obviously, he did!

This was Jordan's favorite egg of the day, purple and sparkly!

We had a fantastic day! We just love spending time with our friends and family. Hope we can do this a lot more. Great Easter!

First Drive In Movie!!

We went to see How to Train a Dragon. It was fantastic! The kids just loved it. We brought their sleeping bags and pillows and set them up in the back of the car. It was so comfy. Rob and I sat in camping chairs with blankets. Eventually Rob moved in to the car to watch with the J and J. I can't wait to go back. I love that we have a Drive In here. Brings back memories! They even have the playground up front.

The things kids say......

Jacob was looking around the house for things that he could sell at the yard sale I am doing on Saturday with my multiples group. He called me into the playroom and told me he had found something to sell!! He said "Mommy, I got an idea. We can sell the lock on this closest! Cause every time someone locks it, we can't get in! So, we should sell it" The closest holds toys that are being rotated and my china.

I just love that kid!!

Here's a picture of Jordan and her "fake" smile with our first flower!!

We are getting ready to have all kinds of Sunflowers!! Grandma told the kids that they would get taller than the fence! I don't think Grandma read the package right! These are only about 3ft and are flowering already! J and J are soooo excited!

So neat how you can see the yellow of the flower

Not a Sunflower!! Just a pretty Hibiscus in our garden.

It's the first bud on the sunflowers!!

It's been one month since our last picture of the garden. The Sunflower plants are growing like crazy, and so are the weeds! We really need to get out there and get all that grass growing into our garden under control. But it's soooo hot already!!! Hopefully we will have a nice cloud covered day soon.
J and J still check on these all the time. They are so proud that they got the seeds to grow! I can's wait for them to get flowers!!

My how our garden is growing!! We've added some stuff to it, as you can see. The frog and the butterfly came from a recent field trip to a garden center.

For those of you that see this today......It's Nanna's Birthday!! 83 and still going more than ever. She went to the Home Depot today and bought herself a drill press!! Gotta love her.

While Grandma was visiting over Easter, they all planted a Sunflower garden. I am going to keep track of it on this Blog entry, so check back here to see it's progress!!
