Smitten

 

Can you tell that this girl is a hot commodity over here!

Who could blame us, she is so scrumptious.

 

I don't know why but this is my favorite when babies sleep with their feet tucked under

 and bum in the air.

 



Meeting Grandmother for the first time.

 



Soaking in snuggle time and inhaling her yummy newborn smell.

 



Are you seeing a trend?

Sleeping baby and somebody always cuddling her.

 



Marcie made her a "fascinator" headband.

 



 

which she wore on her first date with Henry!

 



 

Rusty begs to feed her. He does a pretty good job.

 



 

Love that she is getting old enough to see faces.

 



and gives you the best SMILES that make you melt.

 



Easter

 

 

Easter was as simple as could be this year.

We went to Grammy and Papa's for our annul Easter egg hunt.

 

 

The Easter bunny had an extra delivery at our house this year!

Love that we get to have a pink basket now.

 



Lindi stayed home with mom while the boys went to church.

However, she did get dressed up in her first Easter dress for pictures with brothers.

 



 

Cutest little Easter chick

 

Back tracking to Spring Break

This was the week I was supposed to have my baby. Insert frowny face. Stephanie planned to be in AZ that whole week because it was their spring break too. Collin's birthday was on Tuesday so being the nice sister that she is and thinking I would have been home with a new born she offered to have the boys that whole day. With no baby she still insisted on taking the boys off my hands. And boy did they have a fun filled packed day! They did more things then we do in a month!

Donuts are a staple birthday breakfast in our family so on her way to pick up the boys she grabbed some pieces of fried heaven from Mid Western Meats down the street from us. When she walked in with 2 dozen I about died! We usually get half a dozen for our Saturday breakfasts. But no worries, they were GONE by the end of the day:)

 

So excited to see their cousins and give them their presents. Which they spoiled by telling them what it was before they could open them.

 



 

After stuffing our faces they were off to Jump Street!

 



 

My mom and Craig met them there. Why are quarter machines more popular than anything else? 

 

 

Play days are not complete without Chick-fil-a!

 



No rest for the weary, off to the children's museum

 



You would think they would be conked out in the car but no, more playing time at our house in the front yard! This is where we finished off the last dozen donuts:)



I can't remember what I did that day, probably passed out on the couch wearing one of Casey's t-shirts. I was most grateful for the peace and quiet.

The next day, still no baby. So we had a little swim party at our house. It was the first week of really hot weather which the New Mexicans were most grateful for. I guess it was 50 degrees when they left to come here.

Then Backyard Taco for dinner!

I had nothing planned to keep the boys entertained all week because I was playing each day not knowing if I would be high tailing it to the hospital. But I am so glad they could spend time with these guys. I felt so bad Lindi didn't make it while they were here but I think she knew it would be nice for me to spend some time with Stephanie since we don't see each other very often.

But the best news of all is the Stephanie is due with a baby GIRL in August!!! I am so happy Lindi will have a best girl cousin so close in age!!

Oh, but I can't forget that the week ended with a big bang when our tree fell on top of Casey's truck in a  wind storm. Nice.
