E.B.

Nick and I took the kids to see the mall Easter Bunny just a few days before Easter. We figured Blake would probably cry, but he actually stayed pretty brave.  He gave E.B. a few funny looks and then looked at us like "who is this guy?" It is so hard trying to stand behind a photographer to get your kiddos to smile.  Sometimes I just wish I had a button to push that plastered {real} smiles on their faces:)

Rare...{real} smiles

 We met Nanny and Pops at Lucille's for Dinner

These two love eachother so much...It's so fun to watch them play together.

Hoping to get to more posts this weekend...I am so far behind:(

Oh. What. a. Day.

We had a REALLY busy day today with the kiddos...
We started the morning off at the Johnson's Easter Eggstravaganza.  The boys had a blast!

We made DELICIOUS homemade pizzas:

Searched the yard for eggs:

Decorated cupcakes:

 

And ALL the boys had fun being boys:

 (poor Lily - outnumbered 9 to 1)

I guess it won't be so bad when she's older, right?

(Blake in the middle of it all - he seems to forget he's so young sometimes)

Then it was off to Zoe's 3rd Birthday party...

 (isn't she so cute)

(my niece Remi- already 5 weeks old)

(Drew's photography skills - with the help of auntie)

******************************************************

After leaving the birthday party we stopped in to see my mom's aunt.  For those of you who don't know Aunt Esie, she is one unique woman.  We love visits with her.  We tease her for her for worrying SO much about everything.  She is one of the sweetest... she never forgets a birthday and always has such fun stories for us.  Oh, we LOVE her so.

 The boys had a blast picking oranges and lemons.  There is something in that Hemet soil 'cause man do they grow some fruit. The oranges are delicious!

******************************************************

We left just after 6, stopped for a quick in-n-out burger, and headed home.  The boys barely lasted 10 minutes and they were out.  Too much fun for one day:)

Happy St. Patty's Day!

(we went for green doughnuts this morning and no luck...he settled for green eggs)

Hope you all are enjoying the rain and crazy wind.  I am normally not a fan of the rain, but when we have no plans it is really nice to have to stay inside (in our jammies of course) and snuggle.  I am finally taking the time to catch up on THOUSANDS of pictures...I think I've just opened can after can of worms.  Just when I think I'm caught up, I plug my camera and phone into the computer and have more editing and organizing to do.  Someday I'll be so organized that my posts will actually be made on the day that I claim them to be:) Have a safe and Happy Saint Patty's!

SeaWorld Christmas

My mom, sister, and I took the kiddos to see the christmas festivities at SeaWorld. The boys are always so good when we have them out all day.  I find myself complaining a lot about how my kids seem to be whiney and difficult. Then I go out and see other littles throwing fits and screaming at their parents and realize I really have nothing to complain about. Naps or not, these boys are troopers.

Gav wanted to thank Santa for his bike

(Santa brought me a new lense for my camer aand I obviously hadn't practiced much)

Blake's a little upset he can't see what's going on

Grammy took us to dine with Shamu for dinner.  Gavin was a little too tired, but still enjoyed the show (and the food)
