we had easter!!!!

it was a beautiful easter. . . the best part being a celebration at church! we decorated the entire church with streamers and balloons! it was incredible.  i love our church so much! 

the zoo. . .

we had a fantastic day at the san diego zoo. here they are with their stuffed animals they each chose. 

turtles were the favorite!

i love that they are still little boys.  when they could choose one thing from the zoo. . they both chose stuffed animals. 

vacation - family time

we had the most fabulous family time with grampy and grammy on our vacation to san diego! here my dad is playing scrabble on the pier and the kids are fascinated. 

last night walk to the pier and an incredible sunset!

grammy spent every night reading to the kids. .she brought tons of Easter books. 

where did we get her?? can you picture this at 16 years old???!!!

i've never noticed how much keagan looks like aaron . . his eyes have gradually changed to the the exact same color and shape.  happy ice cream boys!

we stayed in a condo right on the beach and loved every minute!

i think emery is praising God for her ice-cream cone!

spring break the beach!

the beach has to be my favorite place to take pictures and maybe just simply my favorite place on earth! i love this first picture of all four playing in the ocean. their is truly something magical about the ocean.

this year if feels like i got tons of pictures of the girls playing in the water the boys were boogie boarding or too far out for me to get a good shot. we love the beach especially in the SUN!

baby girl turned three!

we celebrated and celebrated emery pearl the whole week!!! i truly can't believe she is really three. our baby girl is three!!! she wanted a ladybug party and so we went for it!!! she made up her guest list and we partied it up!

all ready to party . .. decorated and so excited! it was a fabulous day celebrating our sweet, sassy, and funny baby girl.

then on emery's actual birthday we had a family party and of course mel joined us - she is part of the family and emery told me yesterday mel is her best friend. we are so blessed to have her live with us and love our kids so well!

emery pearl you bring energy, joy, screaming, laughter, and huge amount of chaos to our family and we wouldn't want it any other way. i want to keep you little forever and yet i love every minute of watching you turn into a beautiful little girl.
