Happy Easter!!!


 last night, all ready for church!
my babies!!!


 Annicka happily joined in for some pics ...
Jericho would not.  grrrr.

 
*I did not make them brush their hair - so excuse the messy hair dos*
 this morning I got up early to put together their goodies - they got
quite spoiled this year!  along with all these goodies, we are going to be ordering
a basketball hoop (when daddy is back home to help put it together)!!
thanks again to Nana & Grandaddy, Grandma, Uncle Kris, and Auntie Layla for pitching in
on that - Jericho is especially excited, but we are all excited to have it!!!

 
 I went out and hid eggs so we could have a fun egg hunt!!!



 I picked the Disney eggs because I couldn't resist how cute the ones with ears were!
Zoey got the idea right away (though she did need a little prompting)!!!


 he's having fun!!!


 sweet brothers, showing Zoey where to find more eggs!!!

 she's loving this!!

  
 he's all done and ready to go inside and dig into the candy inside his eggs!!!
love this kids adorable face!!!


 looking all around ...


 Zoey really loved it and she was adorable!
the big kids were so fast, and admittedly I was so focused on Zoey, that I didn't
manage a single pic of them on the hunt!!  but they found plenty!!


 
 it was a good time for all!

Happy Easter from our place to yours!
praise the Lord, Jesus is Risen!!!

Easter egg hunt - backyard style!!!

Flashback Friday ... January

I've decided that Friday should be for flashing back to things that never made it to the blog!  I have had a minute to flip through my facebook books (that I had printed up) and realized that all my instagram pics do, indeed, get included - so no need to repeat all those here (unless, of course, I really want to)!  ... this means I need to find my charger (again) and start using my good camera more - for blog pics!!  I have used it several times lately, so that's a start!

anyway, here goes ...


I was real proud of getting my kitchen sparkling clean!


view from my back yard, on a particularly beautiful sunset day!


my girls! 


this pic is lame - the moon was amazing and I was attempting
to capture it's glory, but just couldn't!


Jericho had a birthday!!!
(p.s. I have still not done the kids "annual" birthday pics ... from last year ... sigh)


rather than wrapped gifts, Jericho requested a scavenger hunt ...
daddy is great at that and had it all ready when we got home that night!






the basketball games began!!!
we went to the first two as a family ... but the second time daddy decided to let Zoey
play - she managed to get away from him ... I was sitting there watching
when suddenly I see my tiny baby girl run right into the court - and the action was coming her way!
after that, I did practices and daddy did games!











Zoey turned four, we remember!
and though I've shared the adorable "crying" pics ... 
I have pics to prove that she was happy that morning as well!!!






oh look, a smile!!!

her newest favorite show - Mickey Mouse Club House!!!

opening presents!
it was so cute - she was so into it!





I adore her reaction to this one!
all the videos are cute, of course!


 

  and that concludes this weeks "flashback friday"!
(again, I'm pretending I'm actually going to be able to keep up on here)
