Here and There

We took the girls to the Rodeo at the church ranch last month. It was Isabelle's second rodeo and Anya's first. Isabelle loved seeing all the animals. Once again it was a success.

Isabelle and her cousin Addison thought they were so cool in this cart at Target.

We took our first road trip since Anya was born up to Atlanta last month. She slept most of the way there and the whole way back! We got a new car at the beginning of the year with a DVD player, so Isabelle was in heaven watching all her movies.

These two play so well together! I can't wait till Anya can join in the fun!

Isabelle loves my sister Carol!

Early last month I went with my friend Brad ring shopping for his girlfriend Liz! They have been together longer than Charles and I, so I was thrilled he was finally ready to go buy a ring. We found the perfect one! They went on a cruise at the end of March and on the last day he proposed! They came over when they got home to tell us all about it. We are so excited for them!

Oldies but Goodies

I just got these pictures from Carol and Brian while we were up in Atlanta last month. They are from Christmas, so a little old, but I thought they were too cute not to post.

Like most kids, Isabelle absolutely loves playing on the playground!

Easter Bliss

Once again we had a wonderful Easter Holiday, filled with love, family, fun, and most importantly reflections on our Savior Jesus Christ.

I got the girls some darling matching dresses for Easter. We've been waiting to wear them and finally got the chance to yesterday. It's not easy getting good pictures of both of them at the same time, but here are our attempts.

Sisterly love!

My baby girl, growing up so fast.

Anya looks a little scared of her sister!

On Friday before Easter there was an Easter Egg Hunt at the YMCA and a little party afterwards. There were a TON of kids there so they had to split up the kids in age groups for the hunt. I went out with Isabelle to help her. She kept walking right past eggs, so thinking she didn't see the obvious egg sitting on the ground, I pointed them out to her. Then she said to me, "No momma, it's not pink." That's when I noticed all the eggs in her basket were pink! Go figure! No one was surprised, she is quite the girly girl.

Enjoying a work free Easter weekend with Papa!

Like every year, Ma had her Easter picnic at the park by the beach. Anya loved being outside all day and all the attention she got from the family.

Isabelle consumed herself in the bubbles, chalk and playground.

Playing with Erin at the playground!

After the Easter picnic, we headed back over to Ma's house and set up an Easter Egg Hunt. My mom had filled 4 dozen eggs with candy. Everyone thought I should just hide 10 or so, but I wanted to hide them all. I wasn't sure if Isabelle would only get the pink eggs again or not. This time she went for all the eggs and even after finding all of them she asked for more eggs.

I don't think any more eggs could have fit in her basket.

All in all we had a fabulous Easter Holiday. We can't wait for next year when Anya can join in the fun. Happy Easter everyone!
