The Threes are OVER

Praise the Lord, the kids are 4!!  Can I just tell you how glad I am that the threes are over!  Reese and Tucker have become increasingly more compliant and less temperamental to closer they've gotten to four so I'm counting on the fours to be a breeze compared to the last 12 months. 
We celebrated with our 4th annual Splish Splash Birthday Bash.  It was their first "friend" party and they had an absolute blast!

Happy Birthday Reese & Tucker!

Water Baby

It's a good thing the pool is warm already.  That girl Rylan l.o.v.e.s it and you know I won't get in unless it's like bath water!  Didn't take long this year.

 Terrible picture but had to show off her cute suit... seriously.. Doesn't get any cuter than that! 

Now she's just flirting.... 

Reese is especially loving the water this season. She even went swimming in the lake!  We're hoping the bigs learn how to swim... time for Grandma to work her magic and get them out of those floaties!

Nothing says summer like swimming and snow cones....

Easter all Around

 Easter weekend was a full one this year.... church, family, blue bonnets, egg decorating, swimming in the rain, t-ball, egg hunting, and a petting zoo.  We were all pooped by the end of the weekend. 

We started the weekend off with a little t-ball followed by some forced family fun in the bluebonnets...

 Rylan decided to eat the blue bonnets... I spent the car ride home googling whether or not they are poisonous. 

 Haircuts much? 

They are either laughing and being silly together, or they are killing each other... there's no happy medium right now.

This year we went to Amber's church for their annual Easter egg hunt.  The kids got enough tootsie rolls and smarties to last until next Easter and had the best time in the petting zoo. 

This picture reminds me of our first petting zoo experience... when Reese got attacked by the giant goat.  She didn't do petting zoos for a very long time after that.  And look at her now... still thinks they stink, but she'll get right in there with them now!

It's just not Easter without dyed eggs... Reese and Emma colored most of the eggs this year.  The boys were just way too cool busy.

This is what the boys were busy doing while the girls did all the work.  Typical... this is where you'll find Tucker all summer long! 

Sunday after church we all went to my parents house for lunch.  We got in a few pictures right before the monsoon hit... uncooperative children make for great family photos.

This post is almost as long as our weekend!  I'm tired just looking at the pictures.  It was an exhausting weekend, but one complete with lots of family and fun.
