The Grove Woman's Tea

My amazing mother hosted a table at The Grove for our woman's tea. All the tables were decorated to the nines, but I have to admit our table was my favorite!
The theme this year was "Shade of Pink" and my mom used all here antique lace china, goldwear, and crystal. We had various shades of pink on the handcrafted butterflies and our vintage tablecloth. The pictures don't do the table justice!
Me and my mama!!!

Mother's Day

Way back on Mother's Day I took these pics of my little guys. We had an awesome day, filled with church, brunch, and then a BBQ at Auntie Chrissy's house. The kids were all fearless. The diving board was their friend. I love them, they really make me smile. I so enjoy just watching this little people play and have fun!
Payton was a professional swimmer (with floaties of course). He was having a great time belly flopping off the diving board *ouch* Of course he didn't seem to mind.
This little guy is turning into quite the little man. I love it!

Easter Morning

After celebrating Christ's resurection at church we headed home and had an Easter brunch extravaganza. Amazing food, great company, but sadly only three pictures...here they are. I was sooooo busy cooking that I never got a chance to take pics. Sad, but true. We had ham steaks, eggs, and an awesome pancake bar. Lots of family, tons of eggs, and too much candy. It was the perfect storm :):)

The Bunny Strikes at Night

This year the Easter Bunny stepped it up a notch. He actually delivered the baskets and goodies to each kids room along with a personal egg hunt. Mr. E.B. told me he did this because he knows that the kids all wake up at different times and he thought it would be a shame if they whole house was awake at 5 am. I thanked him kindly ;) and each kids was thrilled with their goodies and the eggs that littered their rooms.
Aren't they the cutest when they are sleeping away!?! Oh of course I couldn't help but still some kisses while they were snoozing!
Miss Miranda thought it was amazing that she had just said she needed a baby doll and look, what do you know, there is a new one! She has decided that Mr. E.B. is like Santa...
Love, love, love!!!

Time to Color Eggs!

This year we colored 40 eggs....it was fun (for about five minutes then Andrew and Payton took off to play the Wii). Miss Miranda and mommy were busy little bees, coloring, glittering, and what not. I took very few pictures...super sad. But we had a great time none the less!
I'm pretty sure girl could be a model one day :):)
Here is a shot of 4 eggs. Multiply this by ten and there you go!

Easy-peasy Lemon-squezy

As you know Daddy is the king of fresh squeezed OJ but now the kiddos are in charge of fresh lemonade. They did such a good job! First, they picked the lemons. Next, they squeezed the lemons. Last, they put sugar in. It was super tart, but they loved the fact that they did this all by themselves, start to finish :):)
Andy and his crazy smile. He really makes me laugh with his silly ways :)
Miss sister sue is always busy helping out, working hard, and playing. I just love this little thing!!!

Butterfly Babies

This is not the very best picture, and it definitely does not do the butterfly justice, non the less here is one of our 5 baby butterflies. We received 5 tiny caterpillars about 14 days ago and the kids were able to watch them grow and transform into these beauties. Truly one of God's greatest miracles!

Seriously, is this not such a beauty?! Miranda named her butterfly Princess, Andrew named his Daffodil, and Payton named his Motor.
Miranda was very proud of the science project. She helped pick the butterflies fresh oranges and all! :):)
